About a schoolboy who “was forbidden to have lunch in the school cafeteria. “Can teachers eat in the school cafeteria? List of products and dishes that are not allowed for sale

At the parents' meeting, the teacher said that parents can also have lunch in the school cafeteria. Invited those who work close to come to dinner. So, if parents are invited to the school cafeteria, then they will let any stranger in? What about the safety of our children? - the reader addressed to edition.

There is indeed a lot of talk about the safety of schoolchildren. After several emergencies in schools, they promised to tighten the access control: put up turnstiles and allow pupils and teachers to pass only with plastic cards. Therefore, Komsomolskaya Pravda went to several metropolitan schools to check whether a stranger could come to lunch in the school canteen. We visited several educational institutions in the city center not far from our editorial office.

“Teachers were stopped several times, and the children were escorted to the canteen”

At the gymnasium on Independence Avenue, a security guard meets you at the entrance.

How do you get to the dining room? - I ask.

And who are you? - the man is interested.

I just want to come in for lunch.

Is there someone waiting for you there?

No. I want to have lunch, - I repeat again. - May I come in? I do not for a long time.

The guard looks incredulous, but lets him into the school. The dining room is located far from the entrance. I go in the direction where the guard showed, but I run into a wall. Children, noticing a stranger, turn around.

Girls, how to get to the dining room?

Two students begin to tell: go up the stairs - go left - go down. They understand that I didn’t remember, and then they say:

Let's do it! - the girls go with me almost to the dining room.

But here to the left, - the students say and run away to the lesson. I take a wrong turn and end up in the gym.

Where are you? - the teacher in sports uniform stops me. I explain that I want to get into the dining room, and she shows me where to turn.

Today's menu includes mashed potatoes, fish and mushroom soup. The food looks appetizing and homemade. The buffet offers salads, fresh vegetables, sandwiches and sweets. And the prices don't bite. The most expensive salad is with crab sticks, it costs 82 kopecks.

So, we ended up in the gymnasium dining room. True, it took several minutes to explain to the janitor and teachers who I am and what I do at school.

"Take off your outer clothes and sign up for a magazine"

At the school not far from the avenue, the access system seemed more serious than at the gymnasium. Before I had time to say hello, I was asked to sign up for the visit log.

Can you get into the canteen?

Yes. Write your first name, last name, - the watchman holds out the magazine.

I take a pen and write.

And the purpose of the visit, - I ask, - what to write?

So write: in the dining room.

Now, under the serious entries “to the director”, “to the reception”, my “to the dining room” flaunts.

Have you already been with us?

No, I answer.

They tell me in detail how to get to the dining room. The school is not crowded: the children have a lesson. On the way I meet a couple of teachers. They do not pay attention to a stranger, where I am going, they are not interested. On the door to the dining room is a leaflet with the inscription "Do not enter in outerwear." This is where the restrictions at school end. For the sake of decency, I take off my jacket and head to the food counter. Buffet and dining room are located here together. You order food at the counter and pay at the buffet cash desk.

I give 47 kopecks for milk soup.

I will owe you 1 kopeck, come to us again, - says the cashier.

Two men and the mother of a schoolgirl are having lunch in the dining room.

The access system at the school was not as harsh as it seemed at first. Enrolled in the magazine - and you can safely go.

“If I’m on watch and miss you, they won’t serve you in the canteen anyway”

They didn't let us into only one gymnasium. By the way, it is the only one of those that we visited, where there are turnstiles.

Even if I let you through here, they still won’t serve you in the dining room, - the watchman good-naturedly explains through the turnstiles. - We have such a system. Outsiders are not served in the dining room. Go to the dining room of the executive committee, not far from here.

We talked with the watchman, I turn around and leave. Didn't make it to the canteen.

At the beginning of the fifth, when we arrived at another gymnasium, the canteen was already closed. But all the same, they learned for the future: a stranger can eat here.

Of course, the children are being fed. Therefore, we have hot lunches and a buffet. The dining room is open on weekdays until four. We are constantly visited by those who work in neighboring buildings. Do you work far? - the watchman is interested.

We walked around the school, examined the stands. You could also go to the dining room, but it was already closed.

Outsiders can come to the dining room of the next school, "if you get on a good watchman."

It's like when. Sometimes the access control is stricter, sometimes weaker, - the woman on duty explains.

We got "good" and went to the dining room.

COMPETENT

« outsiderpeople shouldn't go to school"

Strangers should not walk around the school where minors study. In educational institutions, meals are organized for students. As an exception, parents can eat in school canteens. For example, when some activities are held at school, on the sixth day of school. This applies to all schools, the education committee said.

With the advent of autumn, a new school year began in many countries of the world, and children went to schools to acquire new knowledge, so to speak, “food for the mind”. But what about food for the stomach?

Not so long ago, we published a selection developed by the Sweetgreen restaurant chain, taking into account the lifestyle and national traditions of the population of different countries. It's time to find out what schoolchildren are actually fed during second breakfasts and lunches in different parts of our planet.

Let's make a small clarification right away - there are no single lunches in schools. In private schools, the food is better, in public schools it is often worse. And there are regions where food is not provided at all, and children bring lunch with them.

Grout with milk, bread, rice porridge, poultry fillet, salad, prunes compote.

It is worth noting that the time allotted for a lunch break in Europe and America does not differ significantly, it averages 1-1.5 hours.

Unfortunately, in our educational institutions the lunch break does not exceed 20-25 minutes. Although it has long been no secret that the slow consumption of food brings more benefits to the child's body than a quick swallow. Tasty and healthy food between classes at school is the key to good health of the younger generation.
