TOPIC A I am glad that homeschooling works for you. But I do hope you are not one of those zealots who believe 100% of us should be doing the same. Because I know that my children are getting a much better education at their public schools (though the older one is in a charter school) then I could ever provide them. I have enough trouble getting homework taught successfully. TOPIC B But I agree that school lunches in America are largely a joke. There was a National Geographic article a few years ago that compared American school lunches with similar programs in other industrial nations. We pay something like twice as much for half the nutrition then the others. I sure wish all school lunches could be as good as what I had in a tiny (100 student) Junior High in the mountains of Idaho. We had three dedicated lunch ladies that actually made fresh hot food daily, including baked bread, at the school. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:336192 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
