I'm just trying to get a feel for peoples views on the use of airline style trays to feed children at lunchtimes.
Our little'un started school in September, and is taking packed lunches at the moment. We were going to move her onto hot dinners at school as it gets a bit colder towards Christmas.
A couple of weeks ago she was talking about other kids having lunch and mentioned that they have trays to eat from. I asked her a bit about it and found out that they don't use plates etc, but instead have moulded trays with scoop areas for the food to go into.
I am quite horrified to be honest, talking it over with our friends they didn't know about this either. Somebody mentioned that it sounds like prison food.
We spend our time socialising our children to behave in a way that society accepts, and it sounds like her school at least is undermining this due to cost and speed factors.
Has anyone else got views on this?
