[quote=Anonymous]I agree with OP's concern.  And since you asked about NWDC schools, can say this is a problem for us at Janney, so cross that off your list!  When I pick my daughter up from aftercare, she's often in the process of polishing off a bag of cheetos / godlfish /etc, the type of food we work hard to avoid at home.  We send her with a packed lunch, though some of it often comes home uneaten (and I assume she is raiding the less nutritious lunches of other kids or forgoing in favor of whatever snacks are served).

All that said, while it goes against the grain of how we eat at home, it's not enough of a reason to switch schools (for us, Janney has otherwise been stellar).  And your kid is going to have poor food choices available to them as they grow up, so as with much of parenting, you can't control everything.  Hopefully setting a good example at home is enough to ingrain some good eating habits.  And let's be real: I grew up on pop-tarts and boxed cereal before getting crunchy as an adult, things worked out OK.[/quote]
