Some teachers buy their own make from their home bring to school eat lunch & some buy school lunch well that’s when I was in school elementary middle & high school I graduate year 1999-2000 I don’t know any school teacher still do that now it’s been long than school lunch wasn’t that bad lunch line you get any kind of chip you open the bag or lunch lady open put in bowl put chili sour cream on top for me frito chili pie you can use other chips to cost of it is $1.25 or $1.50 guess now price change over the years I’m 41 now I didn’t know or think it’s that bad my nieces & nephews said school lunch is bad they pack their own lunch from home now I know & understand it’s not easy for some family because they have money trouble
that mom who made lunch for someone else's child - and not only was humble about it, but expected _zero_ compensation - is the epitome of humanity. we all need to be as kind and humble as her
When I was in school, teachers never eat the school lunches, they either bring their own lunches or have their aides run out and order them pizza or fast food.
@Nathan no you tried to compare prison food to school lunch. Who said going to prison was a good thing? Stay on topic. Again if you say prison food is better you have never have prison food because I can assure you prison food is made by criminals for criminals on a 50 cent a person budget 😉.
When I was in third grade, they served "turkey subs", which were extremely small, and actually consisted of ham, not turkey. One day, a kid ate one who was allergic to ham and had to go to the hospital. School claimed it was turkey. I'm here to tell you that it CERTAINLY wasn't

I can remember some times during my freshman year of high school in small-town Texas when the lunch line was the most mentally stressful event of the whole day. Kids who could afford the lunches got served some good things when I got to the line as my father was supposed to have covered the lunch bill. The cafeteria worker said "Well I can give you peanut butter", but they took away the tray of food. I remember being in tears and I don't remember eating that day because I was so upset. I remember not wanting to eat lunch at school for nearly a week afterward until some of my friends made me face the cafeteria worker again. She then said someone paid for my lunches for the rest of the year. I never found out the reality of it, my guess is one of the other administrators had seen the incident and complained about my treatment. Since the assistant principal hated me at the time he must have "reluctantly" given in and allowed it to be paid for. They really were horrible people. My saving grace was when my dad got sent to prison my mother moved us out of state to a much better district.

This is a disgusting story from my high school. One day we had chicken nuggets and everything was normal but one of my friends chicken nuggets was very big and misshapen. We told him to rip it in half and we found what looked to be a tenden or something in his chicken. It was a big blood red line down the middle of his chicken. A few months later our school had won a food health and safety award. There was other multiple bad stories but none as bad as this one. I still don’t get how they could have gotten award for health and safety after they served him that.
There’s so many people with money that they can do stuff like this with no problems and yet they don’t. Thankful for all the ordinary people who do things like this.
Once when I had school lunch I opened my apple sauce and there was a whole MOUNTAIN of mold and flies on that thing. It was disgusting. I tried getting the apple sauce again if they still had the flies and mold, and it did.
When I was in high school back in the 90's, the school used to feed us just donuts for breakfast & Domino's pizza for lunch. 1 donut & 1 slice of pizza. All the cafeteria ladies had to do was just "serve". They got lazy & quit caring to cook for us. Then, the kids started fighting more.
Cafeteria staff have no control over what is served. Its not like they magically decided to serve this food. Most of this food is chosen by the local school district/school board. Plus there is a limit on how many calories they can serve now. I graduated in 2014 and my high school sold dominos pizza everyday. Plus they had baked cheetos and lays. They also had other food. But the majority of kids chose pizza because the other food was awful in comparison.
We’ve been saying this since 2012, all of the food is absolute trash. In my high school (I graduated in 2019) people would throw whole plates of food in the trash and on the floor because it was so inedible. The only things decent enough to eat were the nachos, burgers and the make your own sandwich line. Every other option was ass
@@vivaciousmyosotis my kid was in school when M.Obama changed things. I presumed my kid was complaining b/c it was more vegies or smthg. (I'm a swing voter). Having gone in to be a room mom and having eaten with my kid? OMG it really DID get WORSE! Why???????? Idk. It's so WEIRD. (N I do like O'Bama) 😑 🤔 Crazy as #10.
*I remember in HS, we had tater tots, pizza, hamburgers, chicken burgers, fries (chili/cheese) we a lot choices. Hell we were even allowed off campus to get our own food if we wanted*
Mhm. Though my school said that if we left campus we had to walk to wherever we were going (had students sprinting about a block or two to buy McDonald's a couple of times and sometimes they were still eating when lunch ended). And we were ALWAYS told by the lunch staff if anything seemed wrong with the food (which there rarely ever was) to IMMEDIATELY report it to them so that they could figure out what happened and fix the problem.
Please look up School lunches in Japan, Korea , Nigeria, Ethopia, Finland, England, Ukraine etc. Then you will wonder what the Hell is going on in the US when it comes to the nutririon of children
@@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 Free education, inexpensive housing, transportation, Universa Medical, food is not taxed, etc. the US has hidden taxes in every direction and abject poverty while spending 10 times on so called "defense" than the next 10 countries combined.

That's what I thought. The context of the statement was not only unprofessional for a school district but made it seem like whomever wrote it didn't really care about had happened at all
@@haleyhoag8640 Yes I definitely agree. They only fixed up their lunch menu because they were caught serving this. Glad some students actually care about what they’re eating.
I grew up super poor and even then, I didn't do more than loosely pick at my lunch trays in elementary. I've never understand why schools waste money being so cheap they serve food that will not get eaten.
This makes me appreciate my elementary school lunches and breakfasts. It wasn't the best food (though it was pretty good for school meals at the time, we even had milkshakes and they would play a song that encouraged us to shake our cartons), but they had good quality control and made sure it was edible.
School lunches have always made me soooooo angry! All lunch should be FREE nationwide. It should be balanced, good quality, fleshly prepared and all organic. Just looks at school lunch in France, it can be done. Kids should walk out nationally until our education system is entirely fixed.
My school once served a “chicken sandwich”. It was just a hotdog bun with extremely thin chicken stuff. They didn’t even bother defrosted the thing. It was store-bought and came in a plastic bag. It was frozen when we took it out!! Ice literally fell out of it and the ice melted so the bread was soggy. Another time I got an orange and I was inspecting it for bruises or something. THERE WAS A HOLE IN IT WITH COBWEBS INSIDE!!!! UGHEWWEEIGH
I grew up incredibly poor. My brothers and I where on the subsidy school lunch and in flat Rock Michigan that list has different lunches then the other kids (at least when I was in school) so not only did we get what looked and smelled worse then dog food,we had a different line we had to stand in to get food. It was humiliating.... None of my brothers nor I wanted to go to school so we all quit.... I'm still working on getting my GED 👍
i will never forget the moments of my old elementary school lunch, or the stories ive been told. one time, i was sitting with my friends talking and some girl we knew told the people at our table to look. she tried to take a bite of the greasy, cardboard pizza. the whole top lair of cheese just pulled off, it was disgusting. my brother, in high school bought lunch maybe one time and the lunch lady told him to take a vegetable. she gave him bean salad. idk if it’s just me but not in all the years ive been alive have i heard of “bean salad.” it was just straight beans. another instance, my bestie told me she tried one of our friends mozzarella sticks. she said there was zero cheese and it tasted old. she said she tried the marinara sauce with it and it was literally water with tomato chunks. we had a thing called snack time, idk if other schools did or not but just saying. a lot of people would get the cookies. now the cookies were warm and everyone liked a good treat, right? so many kids liked them. including my bestie (we have literally had a debate over these cookies😂), she used to act so elegant, cutting her cookie into little pieces to eat them so she could enjoy them slowly. so I asked what they tasted like, she let me try a little piece. when I say I have never, ever tasted anything so much like playdoh I mean it. it tasted like you were biting into playdoh. I spit it out and she had a very offended face😂. they also gave us salad, sounds good. but nah, it was 3-4 pieces of lettuce with 1 cucumber on top. the only half way decent thing in that lunch room was the pretzels with cinnamon sugar on top, even those were trash sometimes.
I am 32. We used to have awesome lunches in America. In Poland, we had breakfast, lunch, & dinner...free of charge & they were REAL meals. In America, we had breakfast & lunch. Lunch had two different options; The main lunch & a deli. If this is what they're serving you, then that's on your school.
Exactly! It’s the school district. My children had great meal options in their school. It wasn’t a private or upper middle class district either. The schools had great PTAs (Parent and Teacher Associations) from elementary all the way up to HS. People want better for their kids, then they need to get involved in their child’s schools and be the voices that their child needs.
Awesome lunches? I am much older than you and this has never been the case from when i attended elementary school, all the way up to HS. Even when i went to college the food was just ok.
@@hzzn I agree, but not this bad. I unintentionally lost weight in high school due to skipping the lousy lunches. I preferred having the extra time & not wasting (even) bad food.
My school had at least 7 or 8 cuisine options such as Mexican food Italian or American and Chinese food. We definitely had options and a booth outside that sold pizza hut personal pizzas and other snacks
damn what kinda school did you go to? must've been a school in a really nice neighborhood. mine usually had pizza or a chicken burger, then maybe once a week they'd have orange chicken
This is how meals were like the first two years of high school bc the principal decided we needed a million dollar renovations to the school and not better meals (we didn’t need renovations, he just wanted to make the school look more modern, the renovations he had done caused a lot of problems for everyone) bc he spent a million dollars like that he got fired and they replaced him with a principal that fixed our lunches
I one time WHISPERED to my friend "this milk expires tomorrow" And the one lunch aid screamed "THE MILK ISNT EXPIRED!!" And I have seen expired milk being served before.
My Mom was an elementary school teacher for 40 years and she couldn't stand the thought of a student in her class going hungry because they didn't have money in their account for whatever reason. She wouldn't hesitate to pay for their lunch so the child would have something to eat and be able to focus in class because they had a full belly, not an empty one.
I graduated HS 10 years ago in May and I remember the school lunch being extremely good. Even in elementary and junior high it wasn’t anywhere as bad as this, wtf 😭
I remember when I was in 5th grade, if you didn’t have enough money in your lunch account, you would have to get a pb&j and rarely had bologna and cheese sandwiches so if you had a peanut allergy you couldn’t really get anything
I once went to a summer camp at one of the public schools in my town. They gave us a bag of sliced apples and a sandwich for lunch. And i ate a apple and it was very mushy and then i looked inside and saw some of the apples had mold on them.
There used to be kids at the private school I went to who would not have lunch or snacks so I'd get it for them because I didn't have to pay. I did not realize at 6/7 that the reason I never had to pay was because my dad would pay my tab at the end of the month! When my parents confronted me about how much the tab was I was so scared that I was going to get into trouble! When I told them what I was doing they told me that I could keep doing it and how they were happy because they had grown up in poverty and missed many meals! My mom, now in her 70s, still remembers a girl named Mary Elizabeth who would bring extra lunch for her since she never had a lunch! I've always wanted to find her and tell her, her legacy because now my daughter knows about the great Mary Elizabeth! ❤️❤️❤️
It's not the school that should be ashamed it's whoever is responsible for making sure our schools get funding FOR ALL OF OUR CHILDREN'S NEEDS... who's pocket is the SCHOOL'S BUDGET IN? SHAMEFUL...
My regular lunch all thru last 2 years of high school was a large, freshly made, chef salad. With 2 warm rolls, milk, and occassionally, a chewy oatmeal raisin cookie. Cookies were large. I was full, it was lovely! Best lunches I ever had!

Once when I had school lunch I opened my apple sauce and there was a whole MOUNTAIN of mold and flies on that thing. It was disgusting. I tried getting the apple sauce again if they still had the flies and mold, and it did.
Schools really do be calling everything lunch nowadays,even rotten and moldy food with flies all over it 🤦🏻♂️

When I was in high school back in the 90's, the school used to feed us just donuts for breakfast & Domino's pizza for lunch. 1 donut & 1 slice of pizza. All the cafeteria ladies had to do was just "serve". They got lazy & quit caring to cook for us. Then, the kids started fighting more.
Damn.
Cafeteria staff have no control over what is served. Its not like they magically decided to serve this food. Most of this food is chosen by the local school district/school board. Plus there is a limit on how many calories they can serve now.
I graduated in 2014 and my high school sold dominos pizza everyday. Plus they had baked cheetos and lays. They also had other food. But the majority of kids chose pizza because the other food was awful in comparison.
That's why prison food is better. They know how to influence crowd control. Food matters.
“Oops! We goofed!” Is not taking things seriously and just being passive. This is not okay!

We’ve been saying this since 2012, all of the food is absolute trash. In my high school (I graduated in 2019) people would throw whole plates of food in the trash and on the floor because it was so inedible. The only things decent enough to eat were the nachos, burgers and the make your own sandwich line. Every other option was ass

Sadly I wasn’t in kindergarten until 2013, but I agree with you. I can only stomach the nachos, tacos, or the yogurt. Nothing else is edible.

*I remember in HS, we had tater tots, pizza, hamburgers, chicken burgers, fries (chili/cheese) we a lot choices. Hell we were even allowed off campus to get our own food if we wanted*
Mhm. Though my school said that if we left campus we had to walk to wherever we were going (had students sprinting about a block or two to buy McDonald's a couple of times and sometimes they were still eating when lunch ended). And we were ALWAYS told by the lunch staff if anything seemed wrong with the food (which there rarely ever was) to IMMEDIATELY report it to them so that they could figure out what happened and fix the problem.
I know right?!
Same!

It's sad how bad school lunch has gotten.
This feels both deeply depressing and oddly nostalgic…man, there were some DISASTERS served in my elementary school cafeteria.
Once when I was fourteen I had ‘clam chowder’ that was tasteless 😮
I grew up super poor and even then, I didn't do more than loosely pick at my lunch trays in elementary. I've never understand why schools waste money being so cheap they serve food that will not get eaten.
This makes me appreciate my elementary school lunches and breakfasts. It wasn't the best food (though it was pretty good for school meals at the time, we even had milkshakes and they would play a song that encouraged us to shake our cartons), but they had good quality control and made sure it was edible.
And they expect ppl to pay for that lunch?🤢🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
Actually republicans proposed to end free lunch program so yeah.
@@jairoherrera4040 that’s why the food looks nasty?
@@jairoherrera4040 now I wonder why teachers get payed less
School lunches have always made me soooooo angry! All lunch should be FREE nationwide. It should be balanced, good quality, fleshly prepared and all organic. Just looks at school lunch in France, it can be done. Kids should walk out nationally until our education system is entirely fixed.
In high school I had a friend who would ditch school but still show up for lunch sometimes because it was so inexpensive. 🤣😂
Lmao 😂
Legend
My school once served a “chicken sandwich”. It was just a hotdog bun with extremely thin chicken stuff. They didn’t even bother defrosted the thing. It was store-bought and came in a plastic bag. It was frozen when we took it out!! Ice literally fell out of it and the ice melted so the bread was soggy. Another time I got an orange and I was inspecting it for bruises or something. THERE WAS A HOLE IN IT WITH COBWEBS INSIDE!!!! UGHEWWEEIGH
OMG 🤫🤫🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
(Added): I suspect that your leftovers might have been served to our school - back then.
1:41 doesn’t look anything like chicken lmao
Gotta blame the state and counties for wasting money for unwanted things
I remember being hungry for days. Worst feeling of all like walking with no energy.
They need to figure out how they spend the tax money they receive.
I grew up incredibly poor. My brothers and I where on the subsidy school lunch and in flat Rock Michigan that list has different lunches then the other kids (at least when I was in school) so not only did we get what looked and smelled worse then dog food,we had a different line we had to stand in to get food. It was humiliating.... None of my brothers nor I wanted to go to school so we all quit.... I'm still working on getting my GED 👍
i will never forget the moments of my old elementary school lunch, or the stories ive been told.
one time, i was sitting with my friends talking and some girl we knew told the people at our table to look. she tried to take a bite of the greasy, cardboard pizza. the whole top lair of cheese just pulled off, it was disgusting. my brother, in high school bought lunch maybe one time and the lunch lady told him to take a vegetable. she gave him bean salad. idk if it’s just me but not in all the years ive been alive have i heard of “bean salad.” it was just straight beans. another instance, my bestie told me she tried one of our friends mozzarella sticks. she said there was zero cheese and it tasted old. she said she tried the marinara sauce with it and it was literally water with tomato chunks.
we had a thing called snack time, idk if other schools did or not but just saying. a lot of people would get the cookies. now the cookies were warm and everyone liked a good treat, right? so many kids liked them. including my bestie (we have literally had a debate over these cookies😂), she used to act so elegant, cutting her cookie into little pieces to eat them so she could enjoy them slowly. so I asked what they tasted like, she let me try a little piece. when I say I have never, ever tasted anything so much like playdoh I mean it. it tasted like you were biting into playdoh. I spit it out and she had a very offended face😂. they also gave us salad, sounds good. but nah, it was 3-4 pieces of lettuce with 1 cucumber on top. the only half way decent thing in that lunch room was the pretzels with cinnamon sugar on top, even those were trash sometimes.
One of the best things about growing up in hawaii is that our elders take care of us. Our school lunches NEVER looked like this.
This little girl is a literal genius hero. I Cant believe i was dumb at her age
I am 32. We used to have awesome lunches in America. In Poland, we had breakfast, lunch, & dinner...free of charge & they were REAL meals. In America, we had breakfast & lunch. Lunch had two different options; The main lunch & a deli. If this is what they're serving you, then that's on your school.
Too many people these days who don't care. At least in the past, they _pretended_ to care
Exactly! It’s the school district. My children had great meal options in their school. It wasn’t a private or upper middle class district either. The schools had great PTAs (Parent and Teacher Associations) from elementary all the way up to HS. People want better for their kids, then they need to get involved in their child’s schools and be the voices that their child needs.
Awesome lunches? I am much older than you and this has never been the case from when i attended elementary school, all the way up to HS. Even when i went to college the food was just ok.
@@hzzn it depends on what state/district you went to school in bc some places had ok lunches and other places had really good lunches
@@hzzn I agree, but not this bad. I unintentionally lost weight in high school due to skipping the lousy lunches. I preferred having the extra time & not wasting (even) bad food.

This is how meals were like the first two years of high school bc the principal decided we needed a million dollar renovations to the school and not better meals (we didn’t need renovations, he just wanted to make the school look more modern, the renovations he had done caused a lot of problems for everyone) bc he spent a million dollars like that he got fired and they replaced him with a principal that fixed our lunches
Good. mine wasted it on a 2nd gym with modern steel pillars and windows viewing the football field.
Schools take suspensions seriously but not lunch food
No because I cannot wrap my head around HOW THIS IS OKAY?! like omg you cannot give kids a moldy sandwich and expect them to eat it.
When I went to school in the 90s not only was the food delicious, but it was also free. My heart goes out to those children.
I wish I wasn't born in 1996 so that I can enjoyed the privilege of what everyone was getting back in the day.
I one time WHISPERED to my friend "this milk expires tomorrow" And the one lunch aid screamed "THE MILK ISNT EXPIRED!!" And I have seen expired milk being served before.
"Expires tomorrow" is not the same as expired. Perfectly acceptable.
“Oops”, “New menu item.”, nah fam they were just trying to pocket all that lunch money
My Mom was an elementary school teacher for 40 years and she couldn't stand the thought of a student in her class going hungry because they didn't have money in their account for whatever reason. She wouldn't hesitate to pay for their lunch so the child would have something to eat and be able to focus in class because they had a full belly, not an empty one.

I remember when I was in 5th grade, if you didn’t have enough money in your lunch account, you would have to get a pb&j and rarely had bologna and cheese sandwiches so if you had a peanut allergy you couldn’t really get anything
I once went to a summer camp at one of the public schools in my town. They gave us a bag of sliced apples and a sandwich for lunch. And i ate a apple and it was very mushy and then i looked inside and saw some of the apples had mold on them.
2:21 A few?
I wouldn’t even force a prisoner to drink that chocolate milk
There used to be kids at the private school I went to who would not have lunch or snacks so I'd get it for them because I didn't have to pay. I did not realize at 6/7 that the reason I never had to pay was because my dad would pay my tab at the end of the month! When my parents confronted me about how much the tab was I was so scared that I was going to get into trouble! When I told them what I was doing they told me that I could keep doing it and how they were happy because they had grown up in poverty and missed many meals! My mom, now in her 70s, still remembers a girl named Mary Elizabeth who would bring extra lunch for her since she never had a lunch! I've always wanted to find her and tell her, her legacy because now my daughter knows about the great Mary Elizabeth! ❤️❤️❤️

Bruh school lunch is free why is people complaining
Because no one wants to drink expired milk, and rubber sandwiches. Its more dangerous that they're feeding that to children.
because its mostly inedible.
it’s not lunch if it ain’t edible 😂
My regular lunch all thru last 2 years of high school was a large, freshly made, chef salad. With 2 warm rolls, milk, and occassionally, a chewy oatmeal raisin cookie. Cookies were large. I was full, it was lovely! Best lunches I ever had!
Coming from a Minnesotan I’m disappointed they say “oops! We goofed” and then say “ that’s not a winner”
Not serving your students proper food is pathetic
Public schools in the US have horrible school lunches. Its ridiculous.
Probably worse than prison food.
