Obviously they should be scrapped. We keep being told that children who receive free school meals achieve a lower level of academic attainment than others so it must follow that abolishing school meals would improve educational standards.
DM?
Wot no Green Liver With Tubes or Frogspawn?
That's the first step.
The obvious next step is to privatise the lessons and let pupils choose whether they want Hard Sums with 'Basher' Brown or to spend five years of their life watching Shopping TV for Media Studies.

I thought it already had? When I was at school in the 60s, the secondary school had a private contractor doing the meals. Just before I left there was a big debate if they should actually run the whole thing, freeing up the staff from the school so they could all smoke themselves to death in the staff room. grin.

I'd have enjoyed private lessons..... Or are they called something else now? Brian
God, that reminds me of the smog in staff rooms! Some non-smoking staff wouldn't venture anywhere near them!
Are these the lessons where you enter the room with your trousers neatly foldered over you right or left arm?
I'd heard one is for PE and the other for RE ;-) can't remmeber which is which though.
I can recall the first school meals being introduced in Cornwall. The choice was between pasty or pasty , Monday to Friday. They were supplied by the local baker. Worked for me!
Was that in 1906 when the liberal government allowed schools to provide a midday meal?
