Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids?

My kids took tae kwon do with some kids who went to a nice private school - not billionaire money, but known to be very nice. The thing that was really impressive to me was that they had a fruit cart that sat out all day and kids could go get a piece of fruit anytime they wanted. It seems so simple but that idea of stopping to grab a pear between classes blew my mind.
Oh shit that’s a great idea for any school to have-- and take it from me, I literally studied education in grad school. Healthy food availability is 100% a good thing for academics and from a discipline standpoint (hungry -> grumpy). Public schools in many states just barely getting free breakfast though, so at least there’s progress.
What next, private schools with nap rooms for sleepy teenagers?

Our elementary school has a “share cart” that’s always in the counselors office. Kids can drop off any part of their school breakfast or lunch they didn’t open and kids can grab something at any time. I think they move it to the cafeteria at lunch so kids can drop off easier.

Our schools have had that off and on. Seems like they start it and then someone decides it’s against usda so it disappears and then comes back the next year.
