[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For DC in K, I was so shocked on the snack duties as a parent.  We show up for 8 weeks of baseball and get told which week we need to provide snack to the entire team!   Then on soccer, it was the same thing.  Also, for K (pre-Covid) we were responsible for providing the entire class with a snack once a month. 
This was such things as: Pringles, Pirate Booty,  cheddar bunnies,  Vege Chips ( which are really just potato chips), etc.   and for their birthday you were allowed to bring in something like Chips Ahoy.    I was always scrounging around the grocery store looking for something to satisfy all these snack duties.   I think it is over done.   The kids do not even seem grateful after 50 minutes of baseball.   Many times they are racing off to the next soccer game.   They will complain that they don't like the snack that you brought or they've never had it.   Also, they typically just grab it and leave. It's not like they're developing social skills with other children over eating.  [/quote]

This is a completely American thing. If their children don’t eat every 45 minutes, they will spontaneously combust.[/quote]
