My daughter is in fourth grade and my son in second grade. Neither one of them has ever eaten a lunch provided by their school. Packed lunch, every single day.
School districts are having a hard enough time financially as it is without forcing them to spend more on the highly discounted (and often free) lunches they provide for families that don't pack a lunch.
Making sure kids eat healthy is the role of the parent, not the school. Should they also give out tooth brushes and require brushing after every meal?
Less government is good.
