A few weeks ago, I blogged about how some school districts were making their school lunches mandatory. Well, private schools are also heating things up in the kitchen. Most private school tuitions include lunch for their students, and schools in New York seem to be putting this money to good use to serve their student nutritious, gourmet meals. Many schools are hiring private chefs who cook for students based on their preferences, and who make sure all of the food they use is fresh and local.
In the article, it says that lunches at private schools cost them 3 times as much as public schools, but with public school lunches only costing $1, this prive tag is still relatively cheap. I know it is impossible to have the same high caliber lunches in public schools because of the sheer number of students, but if these schools would spend their money more wisely or even start spending just a little bit more, then student lunch quality could increase significantly. Making sure students are well fed is a key ingredient to their success inside the classroom because it's difficult to work on an empty stomach.
