[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"What happens at WOTP schools, do any kids eat breakfast at school only?"

At our school, maybe a handful eat breakfast, based on what I see when I do before care drop-off.  I have no idea whether its offered for free to everyone, but I've never considered it.  [/quote]

Why haven't you considered it? [/quote]

Not pp, but I would never let my kids eat breakfast at school. Breakfast is a meal eaten at home in the morning, before you start your day. It is weird to get to school and then eat breakfast first thing. You go to school to learn, not eat.[/quote]

I can't decide if you're trolling, ignorant, or a jerk.[/quote]

Nope, dead serious. I think it is bizarre that people think it is normal to not feed their children a healthy breakfast at home before they start their day at school. Breakfast should be eaten at home. [/quote]

Do you honestly not know that not every family can afford to do so? That school breakfast and lunch are the main and most nutritious meals some children will eat all day? That some kids show up to school on Mondays having eaten little over the weekend, or little of nutritious value over the weekend? That for some families who can afford to serve a healthy breakfast at home, time is of the essence with working parents, and it's a major convenience? For which we are very grateful? Ever heard about the connection between being fed and being ready to learn? Or schools that don't usually serve breakfast but who will bring it in before big test days?

And from where does this rule come? [b]Breakfast is a meal eaten at home in the morning, before you start your day. Breakfast should be eaten at home. [/b]
What, you've never eaten breakfast out?[/quote]
