When I got around to it I'd eat breakfast at home. I'd usually make my own lunch.(happy to- Much better than school lunches up to high school)I'd get what clothes I liked. Didn't care to make sure it was by certain companies. I've always wondered why people will spend more money on basically the same clothes because of brand. Often a name brand shirt will be perfectly plain except for the name on front and cost a lot more.
School is not a restaurant. Unless it's milk and cookies, the kids think it's commercial road kill.
Yep. That's been my experience as well.
This reminds me of a show I recently saw part of on The Discovery Channel(?). There was a Russian kid narrating over footage of his average day. Every morning the kid got up and quick ate cheese sandwiches for breakfast because he had to leave the house by 4:30 or 5AM so that he could be to school early enough to recieve his mandatory bowl of buckwheat gruel for breakfast...
