[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ehh, these schools should serve nutritious, but simple foods and use the money saved for actual educational purposes. [/quote]

The schools clearly aren't hurting for money to put towards educational purposes.
Why do simple when you don't have to? Stop being a Debbie downer. Not only is the food nutritious but it's also exposing the children to a variety of cultures through food and opening their palate to be healthy, non-picky eaters. I for one was impressed by the lunch offerings at the school my DC will start at in the fall (Beauvoir) and it was definitely a big selling point in moving it to our first choice over schools that offered no lunch like GDS. I'm happy to pay it as part of the tuition and never have to worry about doing anything other than dropping DC off at school and not worrying about packing lunches or God forbid forgetting to fund some lunch spend account and having nasty notes sent home that my child will not eat tomorrow if I don't pay up![/quote]

It is not a matter of no lunch at all or a gourmet lunch. You can have nutritious, simpler fare that doesn't cost as much. It is a matter of priorities. These schools are in an "arms race" in terms of fancy facilities and a country club feel. Sad.[/quote]
