I thought schools in Singapore are trying to promote healthy
eating, but my child's school serves mostly biscuits during snack
time. And each child is given about six pieces each time.
Given the duration of four hours in school, how filling can the
six biscuits be? If it is not biscuits, it would be a hotdog bun.
Occasionally, they are given cake.
A few parents checked with the teachers and the answer they were
given was that the general election (GE) was coming. The room with
a pantry and a stove has been locked up for some time because of
the GE, so they have not been able to cook macaroni, which is what
the pupils got to eat at least once a week before.
I hope the relevant authorities will look into the healthy
eating habits of pupils.
