Think I'm going to be sick!

[FlatOnTheHill]

I know its very sweet when kids come home from school with a tupper wear box containing a pizza, cakes, or biscuits that they have made in cooking lesson.
But AIBU in looking at the contents and feeling totally sick?
The thought of dirty hands, maybe dirty school work top and utensils and the tupperwear box sitting around all day in the school bag with the contents getting warm and sweaty. Omg its just rank.
Does anyone else pretend to eat their share of the contents but guiltily chuck them in the bin

We practise his cooking at home before the lesson...and eat all that up..so he can 'share his cooking at school with his friends' problem solved !!

The kitchens at school were cleaner than my kitchen at home.

Nobody ate my cooking though because I was shit at it.

When I did cooking at school hand washing and cleaning up was a big part of the lesson. We also stored them in the Home Ec rooms and collected them at hometime. The most disgusting things about Home Ec were the flour bins which they kept topping up and we were sure there were weevils.

I ate the things my DD made, they were all made with care and attention and were, for the most part, delicious. As I know how well she can cook, and has enjoyed it in the past, my heart does cry a little when she sometimes slobs around making herself instant noodles for tea etc.

Food is not refrigerated after they make it either. It sits in a hot classroom for several hours.

Then it is a health and safety issue.

I used to look after a 3 year old girl when she wasn't at nursery. She would bring home sometimes cakes made at nursery that she would give to her mum. I was always glad that she never gave one to me.

School cookery is a waste of ingredients and lesson time.

Some children will not learn cookery otherwise though kungpo And being able to feed yourself is a major life skill.

YABU. My DD made some delicious bread at school last week, we all had it with soup for dinner.

We had fridges to store the food that we made in home economics.

Secondary school I'd eat it, because I'd assume only my child had touched the food and they'd be more diligent about hygiene as part of the lesson. Primary school I would not eat the food my child brings home, and luckily they only make enough for her to eat.

My DD got a nasty infection called cryptosporidiosis which is caused by a parasite and can be transmitted by touching faeces and then contaminating food. She started to show symptoms just after they had made something at school in Year 3 or 4.They made an edible mud pie concoction to tie in with the rocks and soils topic and whilst she came home with an individual cup filled with chocolate krispie bits and jelly worms, the class had made the mixture as a whole, all putting their hands in it to mix it up. Urgh. I can't say it was that for sure which caused her to be ill but it was very coincidental timing if it wasn't.

I'm rather squeamish about buffets myself, and I am the person who puts leftover food away in other people's fridges after everyone has finished eating but the hosts are too drunk busy to put it away before it spoils.

YABU.

Kids have been bringing home cooking for many years,nobody has died.

Apples washed in washing up liquid to scrub pesticide off? What on earth...

Washing up liquid contains chemicals as well :/
