Can the kiddies have tacos now, Kathy Knecht?
Author: Sterling Heltzel | Filed under: Life
Allow me to take the time to rant and rave about my high school (good golly gosh I’m so young), by stating obvious things that everyone has been talking about for months via Facebook, or in one case, just today. Towards the beginning of the year, there was a big push by the district administration, which I have publicly shown much disdain for on No Honeymoon and Eye on PUSD in their comment sections. Now I have learned that those two fantastic blogs don’t exist anymore, which is depressing. I miss those things dearly, even though I ignored them for a while. This big push by administration on all the schools were over a policy that REQUIRED students to wear IDs on lanyards at all times while they are on campus, and would face stiff consequences if they didn’t. This stuck for about…two weeks, until it withered away. I made sure to count every ID I saw this week, and I saw two. Two people wearing the damn lanyard with an Ironwood ID inside. I also saw three other people waring a lanyard, but with either a fake ID inside it drawn on paper (lulzy) or a Cenntennial ID. That’s right, nobody wears Ironwood IDs now, guys, just IDs from OTHER schools.
So what’s special about today? Something that has nothing to do with district administration and sits only on the shoulders of the school itself. I don’t eat lunch at school; I don’t have enough cold food at home usually to take (we tend to have ingredients for things other than things in bulk; it’s preferable outside the hours of 7-2 on weekdays), and there is usually nothing to actually get at school because the lunch hour is so so so so short. Lines are too long (the fault of the district. Kathy Knecht didn’t want the kiddies to get a taco, watch below) and there tends to not be anything that is worth spending money on. But today, the health department released their health violations for the school cafeteria, and…it’s disgusting.
It’s just better here; except when it’s not.

I’m really glad I spent my entire 4 years of High School eating in our cafeteria….marvelous.
As for the ID’s….there will always be some big power struggle going on between the admin and students…the big one of my day was the closed-campus policy…which the students obviously, ultimately lost.
The ID thing is actually kind of comical…especially considering the only time I ever used my high school ID was to buy said dirty lunch. Have there been a high number of suspicious pedophiles lurking around your high school’s campus?

That has to be the most disgusting thing I have ever read. I don’t even feel like walking on campus again. A pipe might burst out of the ceiling and kill me.

When I heard about this, I couldn’t help but laugh. I have never bought lunch from the cafeteria, and always have brought my own.
Still, that’s completely disgusting.

Aha that lady cracks me up every time I watch that stupid video. Reading this made me happy to be a senior! I’m glad I am never there to eat the food or wear some stupid lanyard!
