Kids’ bad packed lunches have been shared by teachers and it’s hard reading

Dozens of teachers have shared the bad packed lunches kids have brought with them, and the stories make for incredibly hard reading.

Teachers posted about the lunches some children have brought into school on social media, with one pupil from a Halifax primary school bringing a pork pie and shandy in, because ‘that’s all there was in the fridge’.

One child in Leeds brought a packet of ginger biscuits in, because their mum was ‘too tired’ to get anything from the shop.

According to the Mirror, the same teacher questioned a mum who gave her son a can of Red Bull for lunch, and was told ‘he’d had a late night on his Xbox and seemed like he needed a pick-me-up’.

One teacher in Manchester found an eight-year-old lad with a dark fruits cider can – he’d mistook it for a soft drink.

Another pupil told his teacher he’d eaten cereal with water for breakfast because his mum ‘needed the milk for her coffee’, after he came to school without money or a packed lunch.

A kid from Birmingham came into school with a cold Happy Meal from the night before, as their grandma said it was a ‘shame for it to go to waste’.
