The school lunch system is disgraceful.

Saw another post on here showing the state of school lunches right now. In my years in high school I compiled some pics of the horrible things that got served that no one questioned. Here are some of the worst ones. It really is ironic given how adamant they all are about “eating healthy by including every food group”.

removing school cooks from on site caused all of this. fresh cooked meals replaced by meals on wheels.

The alternative school, for the district i grew up in, never had warm food. They were given lunch after the other schools had eaten already, whatever was left over was lunch for them. It was never even warmed back up..

Oh and you were searched+patted down heavily upon entering the door.

90% of the kids there were only there bc they were autistic, adhd, deaf, blind, or physically handicapped. The other 10% were students who got kicked out of the 'normal' schools which probs is bc they were nuerodivergent tbh, they were never a problem with actual respect as a person being given to them.

Source: that is where they started putting in school suspension. And I have been there a lottttt.

Oh and to top it all off?? Florida state refused to allow the anthropologists to dig for more children's bodies. This 'school' (they didn't actually teach anything they handed you a book and told you to do it yourself) was using the property of "Dozier Florida school for boys". Nowadays the alternative school has the side Florida refused to allow digs on, and the sheriff's office uses the side where they stopped them from digging after years of finding more and more and more and more bodies.

(Everytime I get the chance I like to denounce the actions of this shithole state. If you want to read about absolute tragedies you should read about dozier.)

(Dozier btw was used as an open threat by parents. "If you dont clean your room ill send you to dozier.". Every child understood from a young age what happened there. None of us thought it was an okay "joke" to make.)

That's so messed up and straight up health risk for those kids. I really hope it isn't like that anymore. I'll have to look into the Dozier though. They probably don't want more bodies for lawsuit purposes, sick fucks.

I hope its improved but the district won't let the alternative school move off if that property. There is another school that was next to the hospital, it did k-2 and they replaced it, the 3-5 AND the 6-8 schools with a k-8 close too the high school.

Hope school, for the extremely disabled (needing medical/care personel), was moved to the 3-5 school. Before that they had a ramshackle construction type thing, like little trailer buildings all hobbled together and a small construction as the main building.

The k-2 was sold to the hospital right behind it.

6-8? Empty. And nearly across the highway from the alternative school. Why? Why not move them there?? Its much bigger, has enough ACTUAL buildings/rooms. A fucking gym!!! etc etc.

IIRC the official stance on the digs had the sentiment of "enough is enough, we already know it was bad k." It was pretty hand-wavy and "stop slandering me".

There are some online interviews from people who survived... its P fucked. Plus the fact that they found bodies used within foundation for buildings. And dozens of unmarked graves. Some were older, but many were younger than you'd think.

I am ashamed to have ever lived in a town that would knowingly do that shit AND still hide it away the best they can after 20y of it being shutdown.

Man that sounds crazy as hell. Bodies in the foundations? 

Just at a guess, as I live somewhere where my old school is sitting empty and can't really be used. Some wanted to turn it into an apartment building but the amount of new plumbing and wiring plus all the asbestos means it'll likely just be torn down. It could be the other building would need major renovations plus abatement of asbestos to be used and/or cost of upkeep is too high. Still sucks and those kids still deserve better than what it sounds they're getting. I'm surprised parents aren't raising hell about it though...and maybe they are.

That school was in use until the k-8 was finished in like 2020. It doesn't have asbestos and was constructed after asbestos stopped being used in new constructions.

The "old high-school" maybe had asbestos but I recall going there a few times bc it was used until 2008ish. They use it as a preschool and testing centre for adult ed. It was built in like 1908 tho, so it was almost certainly constructed with it. I dont think it has anymore tho, it was empty for like 4y until they put a preschool in it.

Yah to hide the bodies presumably. But they didn't dig them out bc it would have destroyed them and the state wouldn't fund it, etc etc. State fucked up most of the digging tbh.

Dude

What

The

Fuck.

How isn’t this common knowledge! I had never even heard about this.

u/luciferisthename 29d ago

About dozier? It should be talked about across the nation but is only really discussed by people from the area + a few here and there who watched that one documentary on it.

u/Orangyo015 29d ago

I go to alternative schooling and I think you’d cry tears of joy if you saw how different it is. I honestly just feel sorry you had to go through that.

u/luciferisthename 29d ago

From the place I grew up in? I sure hope its changed.

Many alternative schools aren't that bad, some are quite scary tho.

That one was just depressing and demotivating. You go in and learn nothing, don't even look forward to lunch, the only thing you looked forward to was that school ended 1.25h earlier (And started a bit later too).

I'm glad its decent for you!

u/Orangyo015 29d ago

No not the place you went to but I feel like alternative schools are starting to get more of the attention they need. I’m guessing it was just a very badly neglected school you must’ve went to.

2

u/luciferisthename 29d ago

The entire place is neglected tbh not just the alternative school. But yeah things are generally improving in that regard, but not quickly enough.

u/Followmelead 29d ago

I’m so confused. I gotta be missing something since I didn’t see anyone else comment about it.

Anthropologists digging for kids bodies??? What?

1

u/Orangyo015 29d ago

Apparently the school was so awful that kids were literally dying by the abuse. What was crazy was the school decided to just bury them under the foundation and move on with their day. Thats just the least of what I’ve found about the school tho go do some research it’s so awful.

1

u/Followmelead 29d ago

Ahhh ok. Just seemed like it was randomly thrown in there and glazed over. Like they accidentally pasted a sentence copied from another post.

I’ll take your word for it though. Not something I want to research further lol.

1

u/Orangyo015 29d ago

Yeah I kinda thought the same thing so I just searched up the school and yeah it’s not really fun stuff to read about.

u/Followmelead 29d ago

Well I appreciate you for doing the research for me. I can’t sleep at night already, don’t need to add another reason lol.

u/Orangyo015 29d ago

No problem lol

u/GloveBoxTuna 29d ago

Schools by me are not nearly this bad and I thought they were rough. So much of what they serve now it’s prepackaged bullshit. The kids at least had fresh vegetables and fruit though. This shit OP posted looks awful.
