• I wanna know how the schools I went to through various grades sucked shit in terms of facilities and teaching materials, but still managed to have decent meals for breakfast and lunch. I actually have been craving a few things I remember from school lunches the past few days…

      Living in a deep blue state growing up, our food wasn’t half-bad. Might be because we don’t have an education system in America, we have 50 education systems.

        It’s kinda even more than that for u guys, no? Isn’t the education system of a school decided by the school district?

          Partially. States retain a lot of control over budget and education standards, but a lot of district-level decisions can end up influential with regards to the day-to-day functioning of a school. In my home state, though, for example, school lunches had to meet strict state guidelines, and the district had no say over that.
