Don't know if it's changed since I left teaching in 1997. School dinners
were only free to children of parents on Social Security. All others had to
pay, but the meals were subsidised at one time. I don't know if that's still
the case. The school I taught at had its own kitchens - a lot didn't.
Thank you all for your replies. I found it interesting to read your
comments.
We were amazed (appalled!) at the attitude of some parents, and some school
cooks towards the food they were serving.
I am so glad things are improving.
