Lock in for school lunches I tire of the continual stream of “experts” who tell us with great authority what our school and children should and should not be allow to do on an almost daily basis. First we are told by Jamie Oliver with a flood of bad language how to feed our children, we then have legislation on what we can and cannot provide in children’s school lunch boxes. School lunch menus have been so structured that many older pupils have vote with their feet and no longer eat them. We have have been told we must not drive our children to school even though we cannot get a place for them in a school near our home or work place, they must ride bikes or walk we even have national walk to school week. children should not be allowed to watch to much television or sit a computers they should be outside exercising, our street are more dangerous by the day, traffic has increased tenfold in the last decade. Yet planners continue to build smaller house with even smaller gardens and housing association provide more and more flats for families with no play area or garden. Government sabotaged the national curriculum and removed almost all vestige of games and sport whilst telling schools they should provide more at lunchtimes and after school and now we are told that despite great election promises of “we will reverse ” the Tory practice and stop the selling off school plating fields but it is continuing at a pace. But this is okay they say we are building more play areas , WHEN and who will feel their children are safe in these areas, where will they be built?, away from schools and houses ideal venues for PR editors and bullying gangs and drug pushers. There is only one thing left to conclude political headlines are great for getting re-elected but disastrous for our children, lets rid ourselves of the cost of all these quangos and spend the money on preserving school playing fields.
