I'm sure that packing school lunches for kids every day is an annoying chore. But what if you weren’t
allowed to?
One Chicago school has banned lunches brought from home, the Chicago Tribune reports. Administrators at Little Village Academy, a public school, say the policy is all in the name of good health. Principal Elsa Carmona told the Tribune she created the policy after watching students bring "bottles of soda and flaming hot chips" for their lunch. What the heck?? It's not that big of a deal! The principal said that it is about quality and nutritious meals that are available for students in the cafeteria. I don't know about this school, but our lunches are anything but quality! I don't even think the chicken is real..
Unless a student has a medical excuse to bring food from home, the only option other than eating cafeteria food is to eat nothing. (Think those kids will ace a quiz on an empty stomach?) And does something like glucose intolerance merit a medical excuse? What about vegetarianism? Cost is another matter. What if parents don't want to spend money on school lunch because they can send less expensive food from home?
If I were a parent I would move schools, or put up a big fight. Its ridiculous! Things these days are blown waaaay out of proportion. It's just sad. Anyways, I thought this was a little weird.. Hope you liked it!!
Just Trust Me.
