    I fully agree. We were teaching how to take tests back in the 1990’s. I’m not going to start on how the voucher system is so beyond faulty. Don’t have enough time for that. I also remember when cafeteria food was semi decent. Cafeteria ladies liked my skinny butt back then. Fed he heck out of me.

      Doesn’t that mean they didn’t like your skinny butt?

        The food was pretty decent in the early 90’s. It was made at the school so it was fresh. A sight cheaper as well. This was not more than a few years. Food quality changed dramatically after they wanted to run the cafeteria more like a business.
