So Sad

I never ate a school lunch. Mine came in brown paper bags.

I always ate a school lunch with a token. Years later I still remember the fresh yeast rolls and the spaghetti they made fresh. I was in elementary school and boy were our lunches good. This was a small school out in the country. Maybe it's because back then there were older women doing the cooking?

Boarding school Mary ? We had canned spaghetti and stale bread.

Sheesh! That sounds more like Juvenile Detention than school. Was there no one to complain? You bring tears to my eyes at the thought.

ya!

I never at school lunches either. No such thing in the dark ages. Of course, we had a lunch hour -- a whole hour -- to walk home, eat, and get back to school. Not something we enjoyed on rainy days or when the low temps and high winds fought for control of a winter day. Bad days saw me eating "homemade" soup at The Snack Shop across the street from school even though it was frowned upon to be in that establishment.

I never ate school lunches because their lunch was my SNACK.

In 10 grade 2 friends and I where DSP for 3 days for leaving school grounds on our lunch hour. Great punlishment not allowed in school for 3 days because we left school for a few mins durning lunch hour.

That is the way a school bureaucracy thinks. It only works if your parents think you done wrong. My grandson and 6 of his friends (should have been 29) were given 3 days off. All spent watching movies and eating snacks at my daughter's house. Some punishment, huh?

Nyboy, not boarding school. Didn't you noticed I said we had a token? Tokens were given to low income children for free lunches. I also remember getting a carton of milk and cookies every day for our pm snack.

@Ridgerunner did you eat school lunches or did you take a sack lunch?
