[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hate making school lunches.  I wish in school options were better.  [/quote]

Kid can make their own lunch [/quote]

Same unless your kids are very young. I kind of supported through elementary school but by middle school they were fully independent. We would coordinate so they could have leftovers in their keep warm container or I’d get groceries for a salad, but deciding what to eat and packing it was definitely on them.[/quote]

My hs kids don’t have time.  [/quote]

Yes they do. Youre either an enabler or have poor time management skills.[/quote]

My HS kids mostly just buy out, but let’s be real — most McPS HS kids are sleeping 6 hours a night or less. The are getting up at 6 to catch buses already.   If a parent making their lunch enables them to sleep an extra 10 minutes, that’s worth it.  These teens are more overschefuked and overworked than anyone short of medical residents.  My oldest would get home from sports practice and then do like 6 hours of homework on a night she didn’t have volunteer work to do.  It’s ridiculous what the current stndatds are.  I make my kids do chores but feel bad about that too.  [/quote]

[b]6 hours of homework in one night[/b] is not helping her learn and achieve. Stop trying to force something that isn't going to happen.  Stop inventing nonsensical "standards". [/quote]

IB?[/quote]
