What arsehole teachers.

I empathize with the mum, worrying about the government cutting the program… They will be looking for any excuse

    This is really shit. So many things the school has done wrong here. This is the same reason many businesses have a policy that the staff can’t take damaged goods, as there is often someone who ruins it by taking advantage of it.

    In this school lunch scenario I would expect appropriate action would be to say staff are not allowed any. If there are any lunches left over after the kids have had theirs, then it should be given to a third party charity (e.g. a food bank) to dish out. And obviously if a kid wants to contact their parents, there are very few scenarios where this should be denied (I can’t think of any).

        My assumption is if they have 500 kids they make 500 lunches, but some kids will be sick so teachers are allowed to take a lunch if there are some left over. But then some teachers were missing out so probably some rivalry to get in first and eventually this evolved to getting in before all the kids have eaten.

        Also maybe they assume say 5% of kids will be sick each day, which would mean the number of lunches left over may vary a lot depending on actual attendence.
