[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At DC's school, they ask the class in the morning to raise hands for who is getting school lunch that day.

A certain # of kids raise hands. But then more kids end up taking the school lunch in addition to their brought lunch. So there is not enough food heated up for the 5th graders who have the last lunch period [/quote]

Why are they allowing this?[/quote]

You would think it's ok to embarrass a child and deny them lunch? When kids had to pay before COVID, the lunch workers were awful about telling kids their funds had run out. I was a volunteer and reported one to the principal. Some kids may bring but have very little in their lunch. It's not all kids who want to ditch the veggies/tofu for pizza.[/quote]

Then tell them to raise their hands in the morning. It isn’t that hard. If they decline to include themselves in the lunch count and then take a lunch later, they are taking food from a kid that DID raise his or her hand in the morning.

Are you stupid?[/quote]

Wow Mr. Angry! Easiest solution to have enough food. Teachers don’t need yet another thing to track.

Having kids raise their hand to get a count of how many want lunch is NOT HARD. JFC.[/quote]

Correct raising one's hand is not hard, but I don't think you  quite understand how a school day works. Typically the children do indicate if they are buying lunch (they put a card by their name, etc) early in the morning.  However, the teacher does not take the kids to lunch, an aid does as the teacher eats their own lunch, has meeting, etc. The aid is making sure kids are bahaving and safely in the cafeteria. There isn't really time to police who "raised their hand" earlier in the day. Over time the cafeteria will adjust to how many kids are eating lunch. [/quote]

Let’s just go back to the old system. No more free lunch. Some people need to stop having kids if they can’t afford to feed them.[/quote]
