Question

So my daughter just started pre-K. She goes 5 days a week from 8:10-2:30. They do not let the kids pack their own lunch or snack (this is only in pre k for some reason). She is required to eat what they have. If we’re being honest the food is not the best. My oldest will never eat at school unless it’s on a pizza day. I pack her lunch every day. My youngest has been coming home absolutely starving and then wants to eat all night. Tonight as I was putting her to bed she said to me “mom can I please skip going to school tomorrow, I don’t like the food and I’m so hungry. I can’t even bring a banana for my snack” she was so upset. I felt completely awful. Pre k isn’t mandatory and I’m honestly thinking about pulling her out for this reason. What would you do?

Answer

Talk to the school and if they don’t budge I would totally pull her out.

Answer

call a meeting with the principal about this and see if other parents would like to join the meeting. there should be no reason why they cant bring their own lunch. and if nothing gets resolved then i think you should definitely pull her out.

Answer

I’d also reach out to the school and tell them that this is becoming such an issue with your child, you are debating pulling her out. Ask them why this is and if they will change it? Seems ridiculous to me. Any child in school should have the right to bring their own food bc not everyone likes their food, that has a reputation of not being that great lol

Answer

I would give it a week and see if she starts eating it. But I can see why this would make u feel horrible! I mean I know they say if a kid is hungry they will eat so I’m hoping for u and her sake that she does.
