I have heard of a number of school systems that prohibit children from bringing lunch. You either eat the school provided lunch, or you don’t eat.
The justification is that is the only way to guarantee the children get at least one healthy meal a day.
Well, I hope our private school never pulls that crap. Or else we will be shopping for a new one.
That's because parents are too involved with their own lives to fight for their kids. It's very easy to get stupid rules changed. There wasn't a year that went by that I didn't hear of something ridiculous at 3:30 pm and have the school correct their stance by 8 am the next morning. A few well placed phone calls and you'd be amazed at how fast these bone heads will have a new vision on things.
