My middle school boy can’t even eat most of the lunch so eating two sounds nuts for a normal sized person.

Decent sized portions and the food is actually good.


How is that helpful when this is an MCPS discussion.

Lots of ice cream?

That might just be a rumor, because as far as I know schools were not allowing Uber eats or food delivery because of the traffic.


Some schools allow it. Mine does! But if it’s distracting to other students (like ordering a whole pizza) then it’s a no. Its wild because as a teacher I can’t imagine spending that much ever! The price increase and fees I just can’t do it!

Middle school teacher here. Yes, the portions are small but not ridiculously, it’s enough to eat in the time allotted - but she also might be buying for a friend too.

What about bringing a bigger lunch from home? Or buying one lunch and bringing healthy snacks to supplement it?

So much cheaper and healthier to bring from home. Why would you let her do that?

My kid apparently orders at least 2 lunches every day at middle school. I was wondering why her schoolbucks account was draining so fast. She says the portions are tiny, so she needs that much to fill her up. She is average height and weight, and eats normal portions at home. Is my kid just a ravenous school lunch eater, or are you seeing the same in your kid?
