I'm a catering teacher at a secondary school, and at the
moment I ask students to pay £10 per half academic year for store cupboard ingredients, and then bring in extra ingredients each week depending on what they cook. How does this compare to anyone else's experiences of providing for food technology?
I am considering requesting a higher amount of money and providing all of the ingredients so everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed, even if they forget to take their ingredients in. However, this means they don't learn how to shop and select ingredients for themselves, and I have found that students are more wasteful with ingredients that they haven't brought in themselves.
