[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mega monster entitled aspiring dcps parent here. My head would effing aesplode if dcps fed my child McDonalds.[/quote]

FWIW, my child was at an fancy Bethesda daycare for two years before starting PK3 at our EOTP IB school this year.  Guess where they eat on field trips at both schools?  McDonald's.

Yes I don't love some of these things--the occasional McD's, the odd screen time in aftercare, a bit too much candy for my taste around holidays, etc.  We don't eat junk food ourselves and we're pretty much a TV-free household, but there are bigger fish to fry.  Before I go requesting significant changes I want to make sure I'm doing so in a respectful manner so that there's a greater chance of a positive reception.  My tact is laying low for the most part our first year to get a feel for the school and to build good relationships with the school principal and others.[/quote]

PP here. Just to clarify, my child's DCPS class had only one trip to McDonald's this year.  It was actually unplanned, due to a change in the field trip schedule.  Every other time we've been asked to either pack a lunch, or they eat school lunch when they get back to school.  In contrast, at the Bethesda daycare, they ate at McDonald's after pretty much every field trip (only a few times a year).[/quote]

Who cares what Bethesda does?  What's your point?

In D.C., McDonald's or Trix provided by DCPS is flat-out illegal.  You think a judge is gonna let you off just because you tell her you only shoplifted once?  Of course not.  The point is, poison food should not be provided by DCPS to our kids, ever, not even once.  There are lives at stake.[/quote]

I am confused. At my school, the Trix yogurt is provided fairly regularly by Chartwells, which DCPS has hired to provide free meals to all students (regardless of income). It is occasionally on the Bfast menu and occasionally on the after school menu. Why is DCPS allowing Chartwells to provide it if it is illegal? (Genuinely curious because I would like to find a way to switch to a more healthful yogurt if possible.)[/quote]
