Aug 25, 2017, Garden City (KS) Telegram: New app provides info about school meals http://www.gctelegram.com/news/20170825/new-app-provides-info-about-school-meals Garden City USD 457 has a new app that will list details about nutritional content of the school district’s daily breakfasts or lunches, making it easier for parents to find information for the children with allergies or special diets…. There’s so much more information that people want to know about our meals,” Johnson said. “People want to know what the food looks like. They also would like to know the carbohydrate counts in things, in case their child is diabetic. People with children with food allergies want to know the allergens that might be in their meal.”
Childhood Lost
Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).
Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.
