[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do kids really sit on the floor to eat??!?

Where are the cafeteria tables? [/quote]

The cafeteria might have space for like 200 kids, if that. What is a school of 2000 going to do, have 10 lunches? Of course kids eat elsewhere. I ate sitting on the floor in the hallway with my friends at RMHS 20 years ago, with one open lunch for everyone, and we thought it was absolutely fine. [/quote]

Eww that is nasty af

I guess large overcrowding schools are no big deal here. We had grade level lunches and there were tables for everyone. Definitely looking into private schools for middle and high school. [/quote]

That’s rich.  Good luck with that.  But, if you want the slow math track and dumb down your kids, private is the way to go.  [/quote]

Give me a break on the bashing of private schools. My DD graduated Holton taking multivariable calculus as a senior.  She also knew how to write papers, won the state chemathon and got a huge scholarship to her top college.

She had breakfast, lunch, and snacks served at Holton as they were not allowed to bring food from home in.   They had enough tables/chairs in the cafe or courtyard so the girls could sit and eat.  And since they didn't allow cell phones in school, it was a nice environment with healthy food and conversation. Here is the menu this week.  https://mgdining.com/holton-arms/menus/

So give me a break on the "must eat on the floor to get a high math class" crap. [/quote]

How is a burger and fries that great?   Especially for what they charge?[/quote]

As a public school parent, I have no reason to fight this, but even at full price tuition, getting warm breakfast, lunch, snacks, and uniforms would save me A LOT of money, headaches, and time.  I absolutely hate shopping and packing lunches as a working mom and I know food is going to waste.  It is a lot of money and wasted time each week.  And then the clothes.  I would do anything for public school to have uniforms.

And I was just curious about the menus so I googled Holton lunches and this came up.  So I am guessing you can slam them for one burger options but the menus looks amazing and this is article kinda shows how important it is to the school.  https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/02/29/washington-dc-cafeteria-meals-school-lunches-photos/

Look at the Holton uniforms.   The girls skirts are so short it defeats the purpose of them and many pictures the girls look very messy.  I would not want uniforms [/quote]
as a public school parent, I would love school uniforms, though I know my kids would hate it.[/quote]
