To pull my son out of food tech.
My son isn't a bad cook at home, but at school most of the dishes are costing between £5-8 to make and are inedible. We have also lost 3 containers because of kids just grabbing whichever one looks best rather than their own!
AIBU to refuse to send stuff in from now on? He is only in year 8 so we have at least another year of this shit.

I don't think you'll be allowed to pull him out, but you could try telling the school about the problems, maybe offer to just send the money in for the ingredients. School would have to make it a reasonable cost. In the end, they would probably provide free ingredients and a disposable container but your son might get detention for not bringing in ingredients.
