MIRACLES are made in heaven - Not schools (Goverment Funding)
By Kacy Carr
I would say the education department is celebrating with
the injection of 380 million smackers received from the
government to help fund schools with the new healthy
eating diet plan.
Hallelujah and about time too, hallelujah my foot let us
do our sums. If we break down this grand total between
them all you will find secondary schools receive approx
6,000 pounds and infants around 4,000.
Feeding the five thousand on bread and fish should be left
in the hands of a miracle worker, namely Christ. Schools a
place of learning where children are taught to read and
write and now on top of that being told what to eat
The introduction to a healthier diet plan is a move in the
right direction for controlling obesity also giving the
kids a chance to lead a longer healthier life.
But how on earth without a miracle can teachers get
kiddies to choose between their favorite meals to the ones
that are chosen for them?
More funding is needed in this department for this
changeover to take place.
More varieties of meals to choose from then more chance of
the new menu being a success.
But with measly pittance handouts from the government this
task is going to be a long hard struggle for all involved.
We all know what kids are like if forced to do something
their not happy with. They become stubborn and develop an
attitude such like, no matter what you say or do, I am not
eating that. Give them time; let them decide when they are
ready to start eating healthy.
Listen up all schools.
When introducing the new diet, say nothing. Place a plate
of greasy chips covered with a yucky Bovril tasting gravy
alongside a fresh pasta salad. No contest in the eye of
the young student. Take action offer the pupil some sort
of reward for choosing to eat healthy like offering a
10p token with the pasta meal, indicating when so many
tokens are saved they will have qualified for a special
treat towards the end of the month.
If the child's choice is the chip meal,then that's fine.
But believe me when I say there will be no Oliver Twist
asking for more after they have tasted the gravy.
How is chocolate cake rated up against the banana? Schools
why not try adopting a monkey in a zoo. Then let the
kiddies know that by eating a piece of fruit before a
fattening slice of cake they will be helping the adopted
chimp/monkey lead a comfortable life.
Coaxing children into eating healthy couldn't be simpler
by beautifying the dish up with plenty of colour; this can
be done by adding creative touches to the meal making it
look more appetizing than that, of the dish that is not
good for them.
For example, the plain scone versus the fancy cream cake
sprinkled with rainbow colored hundreds and thousands with
a bright red glazed cherry on top, in the child's eye
presentation and the entire extras win hands down.
Now for the minors weighing in at 13 stone and standing
six feet tall, coaxing blackmail whatever you call it, is
going to be hard. The only way to approach 5/6th form
students is to point out the benefits of healthy eating.
Should he/she choose to ignore the warning signs, then we
ask ourselves did they learn nothing at school. In saying
that, there could be a genuine reason behind their
ignorance. Which brings us back to government funding? Not
enough teachers to show them the way?
Students, pupils and kiddies eat healthy to live long
enough to collect your pension
