I’ve always had this question about exclusive private schools for extremely rich kids, like kids from multi-multi-millionaire families. This question applies to private schools from elementary to high school. Do their private chefs just pack them lunches, or do private schools have high-end food for lunch in the cafeterias?

    My kids took tae kwon do with some kids who went to a nice private school - not billionaire money, but known to be very nice. The thing that was really impressive to me was that they had a fruit cart that sat out all day and kids could go get a piece of fruit anytime they wanted. It seems so simple but that idea of stopping to grab a pear between classes blew my mind.

      Oh shit that’s a great idea for any school to have-- and take it from me, I literally studied education in grad school. Healthy food availability is 100% a good thing for academics and from a discipline standpoint (hungry -> grumpy). Public schools in many states just barely getting free breakfast though, so at least there’s progress.

      What next, private schools with nap rooms for sleepy teenagers?
