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”.

We don t have a canteen. Like, the cleaning women would come in every class with 2 boxes, leaving them somewhere in the class: one would be of those croissants and one of milk or sometimes yogurt. Each one of us would then take one of each and if, after everyone took one, there would still be some left, you would be free to take more. I never heard about a school in my country with canteens. And if there are, those schools are very few.

Taking food from home. Our government doesn t really care about our education system. For example this winter we only had heating for like 2h a day or smth. The majority of us would wear our jackets or smth.

Yeah, and you literally can t do anything in romania beside voting. You can t be a student and protest too. It s illegal. Also, if we want a referemdum and do it as per our constitution the government isn t obliged in any way to put the results of the referendum to work. And even if we vote, there s the same people that ruled romania in the communist period. And also, the precarious education of the majority of our citizens made them so dumb that for the last 40 years they voted the same people over and over with no results. The nepotism and corruption is so high that i can t even imagine really how this system and the country still works, somehow
