Christmas Lunches

These have been very controversial amongst the parents as the school opted to buy fish and chips for each student rather than provide a proper Christmas dinner.  The argument is that it is less waste but it does seem a little odd to call them "Christmas" dinners!  I don't feel strongly either way.  The school pays for it as a treat so it doesn't worry me.  I went up on both Thursday and Friday to help with setting up, handing out and cleaning up.  My son was only one of three (boys!) who did not have the Christmas dinner out of all the children in the school!  I did get a large dose of the school politics as well.  It has been quite interesting being "only" a parent this year but also having a little inside knowledge as a teacher.
