[QUOTE="mattsmum, post: 25284, member: 3532"] If it makes you feel any better, we had this same problem last year with our son. He is now in 2nd grade and does not "sneak" a cafeteria lunch anymore. My complaint...why do the schools give 6,7,8 year-olds the equivalent of a credit card by giving them the ability to get a lunch without paying for it first. This invites exactly what happened with your son and my son. Kids throw away their lunches, and get a school lunch. We told our son's school that we did not want our son to have the ability to "charge" a lunch to his account and we wanted his account to be frozen....cash only. At that time they did not have that ability and we notified them, in writing, that we would not pay for a meal for our son that we did not authorize. Long story short, they lost a lot of money that year because a lot of students were doing the same thing...so they have changed how they sell lunch. Now, if there is no money in your account, you get a PB & J sandwich. Also, there is a way for a parent to check their child's account online. As far as the buffet your school offers I am surprised that they do that. I would think there would be a health and wellness policy that dictates exactly what should be on a student's tray. [/QUOTE]
