Horrified by school dinners!

I went to my daughter’s school yesterday for dinner with the parents. All they had was two scoops of mash (my daughter did say that it is usually just one scoop) the thinnest slice of turkey I have ever seen and a tablespoon of carrots with a drizzle of watery gravy. With a tiny pot of ice cream. When I was at school it was nothing like this.

She has been asking for packed lunches for a long time but I’ve always refused. But today and going forward I will always make her a proper lunch.

It just make’s you question what on earth is going on? How can that be a sufficient for a child at school for 6 hours. Also why on earth are parents paying £3 for such a terrible meal.

Give it up @BeachLife2! No way is this true unless there's only about 20 children in the entire school and the teachers are robots who don't do any lesson prep or ever need the toilet.

Recent posts remind me of the persistent troll who makes outlandish claims about her husband's draconian treatment of his employees and how they're all fine with it.

Yes indeed. I've seen a lot of nonsense on MN over the years, but this is right up there.
