No quite.

From the article:

"Pearson says Natalee attends the private Children's Academy as a public school student under the state's preschool option program."

She is not a private school student. She is a public school student.

What is with the potatoes and bring bread with it?

And don't a LOT of kids eat peanut butter sandwiches?

GLAD my son is 32...

I would have starved in this school all through elementary school. I would only eat peanut butter sandwiches. My nephew is the same way.

That's exactly how I see it as well.

School District Served Pork Expired Six Years Ago

Then there is this school district serving freezer burned 6 yr old pork roast to their students.....They don't seem to care what kids eat...

parents control what their children eat

if a parent prepares a lunch for their kid, the school nor anyone there should have no input

schools can only control what is on their menu

if you send your kid to school w/o preparing lunch then they eat what the school has avail

simple
