Maybe it's the big kid, and he's buying some protection.

Update: my mother in law (who works for the BoE) called the lady and she ripped up the bill


Now time to sit down and have a chat with the 5 year old

StillHere

I give my 4 year old grandson a nice snack and a drink to take with him to his 1/2 day pre-K at the local school district every day.
He has since found out that if he "forgot" to bring his snack he gets one from the teacher, which may or may not be better than the one I've given him, depending on the day.
Apparently, I've found out, if the teacher's snack is yummier, it turns out he has magically forgotten to bring snack that day!

Also I have a step grandson in middle school. He is given the $25 or so in a CHECK of course, for lunch every 10 days. This should take care of it. Turns out though that if he chooses to buy lunch and then run up the bill on a couple of snacks or an extra sandwich or an extra dessert, he is allowed to do so in the lunch room so that his lunch money runs out long before the 10 days is up. Then the bill comes!

So, after several bills and several unproductive talks with D, his stepmom (my daughter) decided that well, if you eat up all your lunch money in the 1st week, I guess you won't have lunch in the 2nd week. So what happens? The school is mandated to feed him so they give him a PB&J sandwich each day that he doesn't have lunch money left...AND they send a FULL BILL for that.

Ridiculous!

Wow...I'm SHOCKED they are allowed to have PB within 100 yards of a school.

I KNOW!!! For the longest time when I prepared snack for the 4 year old I never gave him PB or anything with nuts in it in case one of his classmates has a peanut allergy...it seems someone always does and generally you just don't send PB with kids to school any more right?
SOOOOOoooooo I went to the Grandparents Luncheon a couple of months ago with the other one, the 5 year old who is in Full Day Kindergarten at the same school. We all ate the lunch same as the kids did. We got a great sandwich AND celery sticks with Peanut Butter Dip! I was amazed. Who woulda thunk?

I remember back when all the kids got was a book of tickets and a calendar menu.

Enchalada Day! Don't like enchaladas? Good! you get to bring your lunch, forgot your lunch? too bad, you get to starve! When I was in HS, we had to pay with cash, no cash? There was no option to 'put it on my tab'.


Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to let kids run rampant with a lunch card, pick and choose what they want, then run up a bill should be shot. Obviously, the kids aren't learning how to budget the money on their cards.
