[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I complained to DD's public elem school about the lunch quality and allotted time, I was pretty much looked at like I was strange for even bringing that up.  The feedback I received from her teacher was, "I know. I know.  The kids will learn to eat fast.  They have to."  The response I got back from the principal was, "Most parents want to talk about the academics or curriculum."  I simply said that I felt that the quality of the lunch food and allotted time were just as important because if kids are hungry or do not have the fuel(a.k.a. food) throught a 7 hour day to stay focused, then it would directly impact their performance at school.  So, indeed, it does matter.  I ended up having to take it to the superintendant, but it really is surprising how many people think that packing and/or providing a healthy and satisfying lunch for our children is not that big a deal Mon-Fri.  OH well.....just venting.[/quote]

I'm glad you are taking up the cause because for me, it's just easier to pack a lunch.  [/quote]

I pack as well, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't care about the kids who buy the gross food and don't have enough time to eat.  We should all care whether it affects you or not.[/quote]
