Garbage. Absolute garbage. Fully assembled mini cheeseburgers frozen, then microwaved still in the packaging until soggy and stuck to each other or better yet, a plastic clamshell full of soggy curly fries with a plastic bullet of melted velveeta and a plastic bullet of hormel chili. 1 packet of baby carrots (god help you if you wanted more). 1 piece of packing material (aka a red "delicious" apple). Some packet of horrid tasting cookie type things that were only sold to schools because stores wouldn't take them. $5.50.

How to fix it: actually put some money into the school system instead of taking all your congressman buddies out for dry aged beef and champagne after your daily golf game.

Yes, I mad.

it was excelent actually for a full meal under 2yurus, the lunch ladies made stuff pretty close to homemade, then in 2009/10 the health inspection department updated their rules so the quality dropped a lot, because the lunch ladies couldnt just go to the fish market that day see what was good(coastal town) and had to use mostly frozen stuff

I went to school in rural Arkansas in the 90s. I worked in the kitchen on a few occasions to get out of class, and everything was boxed, canned or frozen. Occasionally they'd give us some fresh lettuce or an orange wedge.

>Was it good or bad?
Only had it a handful of times. Couple times when I was a kid, because I forgot/loss my lunch and pizza days in HS. It fairly shitty. Folks packed my lunch till I was in HS, then I packed it, but it was generally a meat/cheese/tomato/green sandwich (once I hit puberty a pb&j was added in), chips, sliced fruit, some veggies and moms cookies. My parents did their best to feed us well, despite us being poor.

I went to a newer school, It had only been around for 2 years when I was a freshman.
The idea behind the school was different, so they were testing it to see if their school program worked or not.
Because of this, it was not a permanent school, the campus was spread out over a park, forest, zoo and then a lot that had terrible portable buildings.
We had classes in the zoo, forest, park and portables, and while some of those locations were cool and interesting, they became terrible to use after the first year.

Because of all this, our school didn't have a lunchroom, instead everyday for lunch a lady would drive her van full of semi frozen sack lunches and serve lunch out of one of the portables.
The food was fucking disgusting.
Everyday it was sandwiches, and they varied little, the bread, meat, cheese and few vegetables used on them were the fakest fucking things I have ever seen.
All of the extra "sides" like apples or carrots were also of the lowest quality imaginable, which is amazing seeing as how I live in a state that produces fuck tons of apples and crops, and actual good quality fruit and vegetables cost little to nothing.
In the end, I think it might have been the jews but I also think it might have been the fact that nobody wants to fund kids anymore. I was mad, and still am, about the allocation of funds that our government is in charge of.

>Dominos

My school's food was actually pretty good. They had a cheese tortellini and a tenderloin sandwich to die for.

Although I've heard it's gone downhill since I graduated ten years ago.

In middle school we had some really good french fries and whenever somebody sat down with them, everyone else would immediately start grabbing at them, leaving the kid with usually less than half of what he actually paid for kek

In high school I discovered godly snickers ice cream bars but for some reason they got rid of those. They also had some awesome cookies that were perfectly soft and gooey. Pretty good tendies in high school too and of course pizza day.

Thankfully I graduated before kekbama was elected and his wife supposedly ruined school lunches.

>>7082956
>>7082970
That shit reminds me of a story back in middle school. During lunch time we'd get these tiny cartons of milk. The 1% was always shit but the chocolate stuff was pretty good. Sometimes people would leave their sealed cartons over on a table by the trash cans, and they were basically free to whoever wanted one. My friends and I all sat pretty close by so we could snipe the opportunity to get more delicious chocolate milk. One day we had a particularly good haul, and managed to get like 4 milks each (totaling in at 16). Once we drank them all, we put them in front of my friends who would buy 2 milks every day. He's just sitting there with this pile of milk cartons in front of him, and our dangerously black (but super chill) janitor at the time walks up to the table and says "Dude, that's unheard of". After that, the vice principle came over and banned him from getting anything other than water to drink for the rest of the year, which at that point was like 2 more weeks.

When I was a kid in rural bongland, my mother worked as a dinner lady. She said the food they were forced to prepare was so cheap and shit she refused to let me eat it. Says enough desu.

>>7082878
The only way to do anything in my country is kill off everyone and genetically engineer their replacements to be 100% honest. Up to the school feeding program is corrupted. A couple years ago all the meat in the school lunches were a combination of dog, cats and rats that a contracted meat company was providing. The rice and vegetables were produce that was practically expired or half rotten.

Chinese here,

Most schools in major cities have a functional cafeteria (think of it as a huge Chinese restaurant). Almost all meal are cooked on site with as fresh of ingredients as budget can afford. Lots of veggies, mostly mix stir fries of both meat and veggies, pure meat dishes are about 1/4, pure veggies about 1/4. Taste is not always the best, nor the culinary quality. But compare to home made meals, say by a busy mother of 2 or 3, it's on par.

I went to a provincial level elemental/high school (equivalent to a state run school in US). Only lunch's offered to all students, but there are breakfast for faculty and sometimes dinner for faculty as well.

Depending on school, students can either pay a sum for the entire semester of lunch, of by box lunches every day, or choose from a buffet of what that day's cookings and pay a retail price. But generally, for about 10 Chinese Yuan, you can get a very filling and nutritious meal.

School cafeterias in China usually dare not to lower it's quality to skim on ingredients too much, because the back lash can literally be riots from both students and faculty. Eating, is a huge deal in China. So huge of a deal, people often greet each other with "Have you had a meal yet?" the phrase is equivalent to "how are you?" in America.

>>7084682
Also the chinese word for cafeteria is "食堂", literally translation is "the hall of eatery", which I find quite amusing.

I suggest you copy paste 食堂 and check them out in google images. Chinese lunch halls are quite something.

>>7084682
>>7084719

One more thing.

One reason Chinese school cafeteria food quality is also pretty "okay" is due to faculty eats there as well, 99% of the time the same as what the students eat. So the kitchen staff's work are constantly being monitored, and if on a day the meal's quality's low, the Principle would discipline the kitchen staff, a sight usually pretty amusing for students to see.

I also remember during morning assemblies, the Principle sometimes would mention the lunch menu. Like, "oh Chinese new year's approaching. We'll have dumpling!" That sort of thing.

So like i mentioned before, eating and especially eating together is a big deal in Chinese culture. So public cafeteria is always maintained in a fairly passable quality.

>>7084682
Damn, that's cheap. 4chan isn't banned in China?

>>7084735

Yes, the same Foxconn that makes all the iPhones and other electronics. They employ 10s of thousands and all have lunch at the exact same time. It's a logistic feat on par with miracles.

Australia here.
>Highschool
We didn't have a cafeteria, but we had a canteen. Basically you would go there in the morning and buy a token for lunch, usually about $3 for a burger or something similar. You could also get toast and fruit in the morning. Then at recess you could get some generic snacks and fruit and milk drinks, and at lunch you could get the same things but also whatever your token was for. The food was pretty average, but sometimes they would have beef and gravy rolls and some pretty decent burgers. Mostly run by student/parent volunteers and a few full time staff
>Primary School
You would give a brown paper bag with money and your order on it to whichever kid was on canteen duty, and then they would deliver all those bags to some volunteer mums. At lunch time they would get whatever was ordered at the local shop, and deliver it to the school in those paper bags. It was mostly pies or sausage rolls. Every second week we would have a sausage sizzle, which was dope

>>7084849
Did you have to dress up like some little sailor faggot like the picture too?

>>7084849
Another ausfag here.

My primary school was similar, except that the food was cooked on the premises and a canteen was still open to us. I didn't eat tuckshop food much though so all I really remember buying there was icy poles in summer and they sold jelly cups which were massively popular.

High school was similar to primary school where you could place an order in the morning for a lunch item but at lunch time there would also be excess of the burgers or whichever other items there were that people who hadn't put in an order in the morning could buy. They also sold packet chips and these low-sugar fruit sodas/softdrink things which were pretty good.

Though I don't think I ate at the tuckshop even once in high school.

>>7084872
Most primary school uniforms were pretty much polo shirts/shorts and the girls had skirts and/or culottes to choose from. My primary school also had button up shirts.

High school was shorts/long pants and button up shirts (after a while they also enforced the rules that we had to wear our uniform ties and long socks), with polo shirts to be worn on days with PE classes.

>>7084872
yes
dressing like a sailor is mandatory in australia, just in case we all have to quickly evacuate by boat when the emu/spider alliance decides to fuck us up again
>>7084891
we had gold polos and maroon shorts in primary school for sports, button up shirts and pants/shorts for the rest of the time
highschool was just exactly the same except your house colours determined your sport clothes colours
and there were green blazers we could wear, but nobody did because we werent no fuckn gay cunts

>>7084903

Primary school was green shorts and a gold shirt. The button up shirts were white with like a cross-hatch of pinstriping in two shades of green and one of gold.

My high school sold zip up windbreaker type jackets which everyone wore during winter, they did a pretty good job of it really. And they also sold blazers but never forced anyone to buy one and literally no one bought one ever. The only ones I ever saw were the few that the school owned and lent out to student leaders for official events.

I live in sweden and school lunches at my school i went to for 10 years were fucking amazing, i'm talking real mid-tier resturaunt quality, everything, including the cheap fish was amazing.

Later i found out that the school i went to was praised for having the third best school lunches in sweden, only passed by 2 private boarding schools, and this was a public school in a somewhat shady area

Nigga what?

In my high school, the Lunch cafeteria was student class run with a 3 teachers. Could get fresh salad, homeade chow mein, fresh baked pastry's, and pretty good burgers and fries. I guess lunch programs are the one thing Canada's actually good at.

>>7085086
Went to a high school in Canada, in a poor neighborhood. The cafeteria serves as senior home ed/culinary art class room. Every lunch is something different, very good quality. Portion's a bit small but since it's a school in poor area, monthly lunch card's subsidized you can choose to pay (depending on how much your family can afford) 20 to 50 dollars a month.

You can have second serving, but since the line's long as shit, usually not enough time for that.

>>7085102
My school was built in a rich neighborhood so that might explain something. But yea i loved having cafeteria class, always gave you free food. The portions were a little small, but it was really good food.

>>7085110
I then transferred to a high school in an extremely rich area... NO CAFETERIA!!!! School only has a shitty little student union ran grocery store. Sells 3 kinds of food during lunch, pizza pretzel, frozen burrito (they microwave it for you), and giant ass muffin from Kirkland.

3 years, no lunch was had...

>>7085154
That's hilarious, my school had that awesome cafeteria and also had one of those shops, but you could buy a lot more shit there. Man it sure felt nice to go to a school in a rich neighborhood. I did have to take a 1 hour bus ride everyday so i didn't have to go to a school in the ghetto though.

years prep-6 are primary school, years 7-12 is high school.
In highschool theres period 1&2, recess, period 3&4, lunch, then period 5&6.

Our school had a canteen where you could buy overpriced food that tasted okay. Most popular was meat pies, sausage rolls, wedges, and hot dogs. We also had a "cafeteria" where the year 11&12 students could sit and eat their lunch, but food wasnt actually served there and there was no tables or chairs, everyone just sat on the floor. Year 12s were permitted to go to the nearby shops to get lunch, everyone pretty much just got chips and kebabs.

We had tasty, cheap, hot meals until Jamie Oliver fucked everything up and left us with shitty sandwiches for £2 each.

>>7085217
Yeah, most high schools tend to run their own schedules though.

At mine we did 3 periods per day, 90 miuntes each, with a 15 minute break and a 30 minute break in between. We also started at like 7.30 in the morning and finished at 1 or something which was pretty fucking amazing.

>>7085247

Usually got a main meal, a side, a fruit/vegetable, a side salad and some sort of milk or water.

Most of the time, the main meal was pretty decent, they had a chicken-pasta thing that was kickass but i cannot remember the name of it. The pizza we got sucked, but it was because they made it themselves. The other nasty thing was the hamburgers, because the meat wasnt quite right-tasting. It had this spongy nasty quality to it, but with enough toppings was edible (tomato, lettuce, pickles, ect).

Other than that, the food was pretty decent. The thing to remember is that 6 people are having to mass-produce food for like 250 people. It gets hard to keep things as fresh and perfect as we would hope it to be.

Back when I went to High School our school lunches weren't very good. But they allowed our DECA store to compete with our cafeteria for lunch and we served much better food than the cafeteria did. To the point where our DECA store ran a profit of around 90K a year.

Then the state changed the laws on what foods could be served outside the official state lunch, and the DECA store had to switch to all health food only, same with the soda machines disappearing for water vending machines and candy machines being filled with granola snacks, etc.

Actually if you want to fix it, take education OUT of congresses hands. Stop nationalized testing standards, stop all of the red tape.

Did you know that Belgium spends less per student than the U.S. and manages to pay their teachers more? Because they have FAR less red tape and far more freedom in how they teach and use their money. And shockingly, their students fare better on testing than ours do.

Louisiana here.

I liked school food.

Florida for preschool and kindergarten, New York for 1-7, North Carolina for 8-12. Was complete bullshit regardless of state.

Grade school in the 1980s in Miami. Had a serious anti-segregtion effort going on with school boundaries redrawn every year to ensue racial/ethnic equality in every school.

Elementary: black southern (parents of students) were lunch ladies.... made everything from scratch, from biscuits to fried chicken. Think cracker barrel menu. Kids all ate their vegetables and first. Homemade hawaiian rolls, mac n cheese with 1/4 inch thick cheese layer browned on top, green beans with ham hocks, good everything. We did have that square Elios pizza thing every other week, but it wasn't the best thing they made and it was the only thing not made by hand on site. There were frozen FL OJ triangle popsicles which were popular.
Middle school had same exact thing, just a little more pasta and salad choices.
High School had parent-teacher involvement and operated "concessions" in addition to the homemade food. We had a falafel/schwarma kind of thing, where some parent ran a grill and there was a pita the size of a dinner plate and a "salad bar" with 20 toppings for $1. There were 2 lines in the cafeteria, both hot food, but one had the regular menu, and the other was a theme, like stir-fry stations with 2 staffers taking orders, or burgers/hot dogs (grill outside), or something like that.

These were decent public schools. Today, the elementary middle schools in Miami are serving all frozen, all processed crap. The high schools no longer have "open campus" policies where students can drive off and get food, so they are more creative, again with PTA involvement to offer choices kids want, whether it's bagels and donut fundraising in the morning from a local bakery to special things like local sushi giant Sushimaki deliveries (also sells to Publix).

My high school had 3 lines, 2 big lines serving whatever the designated lunch for that day and a smaller one that just sold tacos and burritos when I started you got to pick 2 between beef tacos chicken tacos and bean burritos with whatever the side was (fries, smiles, onion rings) and a veggie or fruit with chocolate or regular milk and a juice. My districts lunch budget got cut so by the time I actually graduated you could only get one taco with a vegetable and some plain milk and maybe a juice if they had them that day. I wonder what kids are getting now?

All we have is shitty Jamaican bread and nigger food here. The only actual effort they did back in high school was serving some thai noodles.

Even Canada copy Americans cafeteria now.
