“I grew up less than a block from the elementary school. I used to walk home for lunch - we had all day Kindergarten in those days? Mom would be rockin’ grilled cheese sammiches and tomato soup ready to go.”
When I was in kindergarten it was still half a day. When they made it full day I voiced my opinion on that and was dead set against it. Kids at 5 years old are still too young to go a full day. These kids are getting burned out on school by third grade.
I heard tales of kids going home for lunch but when I was in school I don’t recall any children doing this. We either ate school lunch or what our moms sent us in those metal lunch boxes. Usually PB%J, an apple or carrots and soup in the thermos and we bought milk from the school. I noticed that today’s lunchboxes for kids don’t even come with a thermos.
I’m not even sure today’s schools would let kids go home form lunch if they lived near the school. Today’s school are on lock down like a prison.
When the system is broken, blame the system....not the victims of it.
My kids came home for lunch in high school (we homeschooled through 10th grade abd then the girls wanted to do proms and be cheerleaders) or I brought them a hot lunch. I would bring them cheese and avocado quesadillas with salsa in an insulated carrier. Tradwifing before it was cool, about 10 years ago.
This actually attracted a lot of male attention because pretty girls with pretty food...
Same. During the summers, I was outside all day and came home as the sun was setting. Magical times with all the freedoms we had. Not a care in the world. Kids should be allowed to be kids.
Sorry, she ALLOWED her family to be the ‘victim’ of a known broken-system. Blame lies squarely @ her feet for not fighting it further.
