Child is entering middle school this year. Came home today with a lunch menu. Among the standard lunch are ala carte items including sports drinks, soda, pretzel with cheese, nachos with cheese, breadsticks with sauce, ice cream, etc. All of these items run abotut $1.50 a piece and of course the school encourages that you fill the student's lunch account and not send daily cash.
Of course we will talk with him and let him know what is expected but was wondering if any of you have gone through this already? Do you find that its a problem? How did you handle it? Personally, I don't see why any kid wouldn't want to skip a real lunch for a pretzel with cheese and a pepsi! It is a very good district but this has totally rubbed me the wrong way. I cannot believe they are offering this to 10-13 year old kids. |
