Learning table manners the hard way- Our youngest came home with a complaint

Table manners

• The hardhearted cooks who were convinced that the students were always trying to con them out of an extra bite
• The situation during lunchbreaks at school; when you have to be early to secure a seat around ‘strangers’

A few days into the school term, our youngest came home with a complaint. She said they were being made to sit by houses (assigned) instead of with their friends at lunch time.

Her main problem is that every table has a mix of seniors and juniors that she doesn't really know. She claimed she would have no one to talk to during their lunch break. Disaster!
