Private Day school announced that due to health and safety pupils supply own ingredients.
Today it was 250g beef mince, can of tomatoes, box of tomatoe paste, 250g milk , 6 sheets of lasagna, 25g butter, 25g flour, 50g of grated cheese, 15ml of oil , and onion, a.carrot and a oven proof dish ..
Oh and pepper and mixed herbs.

Health and safety my arse , a child carrying raw meat and milk in a rucksack is more of a risk. 🤢
Plus I spent an exorbitant amount on last minute purchasing that surely would be more reasonable in bulk. Yes the dish came home but nobody will eat it except maybe the dog.

I used to proudly bring home meals I had cooked at school, like lasagne, only to have my mother scrape them straight into the bin saying “we’re not eating that muck.” I am still upset about that now. Please do not underestimate the impact that your words and actions may have on your child.

My Mum did things like this too. Whenever we made crafts at school, they went in the bin because she ‘hated clutter’. Awful.
