The school directors in most schools are corrupt even shows up in the children’s lunches TIT

My wife had a food shop at a university until covid put paid to that. Granted she's very experienced having many shops over the years and she also knows how to buy at the market. Her prices ranged from 30-50 baht  and the serves were designed for students who were young adults, she rarely had any complaints. Many Thais simply can't cook and have no idea how to buy decent produce at the right price. 

What!!!. No tomato sauce!!!

Absolutely heartbreaking ... as well as being downright criminal child abuse.

Hey look at the bright side!  That food tray is the cleanest I've ever seen!  Tabletop doesn't look too bad either.

Yep.....could be worse.

No ketchup..... inedible!

What a bl@@dy disgrace! A land awash with fresh green veggies and beautiful fruit.

 

Makes my blood boil!!

 

Could it be someone or someones skimming the money away from the kids lunches?

It has been known

It seems that this food is in accordance with the Education System.

Rather have tapioca than the porridge we had to endure every day.....gave us boils!

I feel charges for slander are about to be lodged. 

LUXURY, compared to when I was young and we only got to eat sand… after walking the 138 km to school each day…

Thai government schools are bad but not all teachers are bad. Visited a school outside Hua Hin recently where the teachers buy vegetables from their own pocket and help cook the food for the kids because there's no budget for a cook. Not surprised they can't wait to be transferred. 

just 1 of the reasons why i will be homeschooling.

there is a school across the road and i live nextdoor to 2 teachers
one of them has dogs, her dogs don't get any food when it is not a school day

I bet it's a Sarasas school ????

Sausages and rice? Those kids are lucky! I've seen kids at private schools being served some Mama noodles, perhaps with a chicken bone with a little meat on it, or a few teeny tiny vegetables...

 

Perhaps the parents pay 3,000 baht a month for their kids' lunch at those small private schools, but what the kids actually get is worth more like 300 to 500 baht a month. Once more, people (here parents) are getting scr****...

those so called "sausages" are about 20% meat, the rest is flour, tons of E numbers and goodness knows what other additives and flavourings.

By my calculations they are paying about 30 baht per meal. I assume the meal is served to them and people tidy up afterwards. It may not be gourmet food but what do they expect for 30 baht?

More than shown - although photo make it look much larger than it is - that is one section of a tray with a spoon of rice and two mini franks.  That is it.  You can do better for your 30 baht at any street stall.  Below is photo of 20 baht school lunch.

Yes, I have worked out the same.

 

That said economy of scale suggests something a bit better!

 

The school from which I retired was run by nuns. Whatever the issues/irritants with having nuns in charge (and there were plenty), corruption and skimming by the senior management (nuns) was not one of them; mind you some of the lay teachers were not averse at having a go - purchasing textbooks springs to mind! We would have (and did) manage to provide some vegetables, a sauce and a piece of fruit as well for that price.

Meanwhile the director is buying another Benz and adding to their bank account and collection of gold.

B3000 Per semester? Doesn't that work out at around B30+ per day. Nuf said.

Frankly at THB 3,000 per semester, I am surprised they even get this. That's 16 weeks x 5 days = THB 37.5 per day. That needs to cover cost of goods, staff, kitchen facilities, utilities and any margin for the operator. The problem does not seem to be the food ... but rather the expectation of the parents for the amount they pay. Packed lunches would seem an optional solution.

We read reports like this over and over again. Stealing food from children is just part of the culture in a morally bankrupt country.

plenty of vitamins there EH !!!!

What a disgrace. We all know there's corruption in this fair land, but to take (paid for) food off children is the lowest of the low... right out of Kim Wrong-Un's handbook. How's about some proper retribution for a change, like emptying the director's (or whoever is in on this) bank account and divvying it up among the parents?

Good for you. That's the way it was done when I was attending school. 

 

It says "sausages", that's processed (junk) food. I don't see any vegetables on that plate either.
