Recently I had occasion to conduct a classroom observation of a student in a second grade classroom at one of the public schools I work at. During my observation the students were provided free breakfast. I noticed that somewhere between 70 to 80 percent of the “food” provided to these 30 students (approximately) was thrown in the trash uneaten or only partially eaten. Now, I don’t know where the funding comes from to provide the free breakfast, but I’m appalled at the waste.
The funding, SoldierDad, comes from us.
