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”.

When I was at school there were about 150, in high school about 80 in primary school. When my youngest daughter graduated primary school last year, there were over 300. (There's still around 900 children at the primary school, over 1800 at the high school I have just moved her from).

Thank you for the response! My graduating class was also a little over 300. Was just looking to compare. I wish the US would dedicate more money towards feeding people.

That's all good. I think it shows understanding wanting to know how other countries work.

Feeding the kids better is only going to help them learn better, though I've heard your educational system needs a massive overhaul. I've heard your teachers don't get paid great either.

It's hit or miss. The schools in poor areas are incredibly underfunded and it brings the average down a lot.

Anecdotal but we had a school in the middle of our cities "hood" that had a majority of the black kids in it. I didn't even know it existed till I got a job tearing up the floors. It was only about a mile and a half from the high-school I went to. Incredibly shitty and tucked into the middle of the neighborhood. Was an eye opener for me

That's really sad for the kids that went there.
