From what I have seen from my own children attending our local public schools, there a minority of parents who are always aggrieved, always a victim, always ready to raise a stink for their “babies,” about ridiculous issues - like ketchup.
Yet these same fools will never monitor or utter a peep about serious academic things - why certain AP courses were eliminated from the school, how course curricula may have changed, what government-required test will be used for calculating a grade, academic standards, etc...
They are the drones of the nanny-state.
Lot of truth to that. OTOH, why should the school be making such decisions?
Food is huge to parents. It is the #1 question from parents on college tours. Is the food good?
