I hated being forced to buy a school lunch, myself. It was absolute trash, with no nutritional or mental value. I made and packed my own lunches, and still the fuckers made me pay.
Eh?
I kinda like the way my school did it. You’d usually bring your own lunch, but there was brand name pies and juice and chocolate milk for sale, as well as ice creams.
I think the management is just fukin stupid
If you don’t want to buy your lunch you could always bring your lunch to school.
It isn’t mandatory to pay.
I grew up our lunches was reduced pay or it was free. Of course back then the lunches were actually decent. And full price was like a dollar.
Now it’s shit and like 3 dollars a plate.
For my kid we packed her school lunch. Mainly due to her health problems.
We live in a area highly populated by Hispanic people. So the school food mainly consists of Hispanic food and spicy food.
My daughter has a health issue where she can not eat anything above the spice level of black pepper. It makes her violently ill. So it was just safer to make her lunches.
it not being mandatory to pay isnt a universal thing, even in the states
its not uncommon for schools to take money from all of the students regardless
Every school I went to as a student and as a sub plus when I would sub for kitchen workers how it worked was this:
The kid got their tray walked to the computer/cash register would say either their name or is number or swipe a card or pay cash or even gave their lunch ticket they got from the home room teacher when they paid in advance.
And that is when the money would be extracted if done by card or account.
Never have I ever heard of a kid being forced to pay even if they don’t get food.
I been to multiple schools in multiple states.
So this is new to me to hear you get forced to pay even if you don’t eat.
Did you maybe get milk or only one item and refuse the rest?
I know some places have charged for a whole meal even though the kids just buy milk.
For our daughter they allowed her to pay just for a spare milk because she never could eat the breakfast due to health so she get 2 milks or a spare juice.
what im speaking of is schools taking a manditory yearly bill from the parents that you couldnt opt out of to pay for the potential chance that the student might decide to get lunch, it assumes they get lunch daily and as i said, cant opt out of it, certain family would qualify for it to be free through your bog standard federal stuff but otherwise its unavoidable
