(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The school is kinda ok. It is a lot of drama their and they have a lot of bugs. And they have hair in the food. So you need to watch out for that because that happens to me all the time. And i think that is so nasty to have hair in your food so just telling you to wacth out for that. My child comes home and tells me about that everyday and i tell him not to eat it. And my child still eats it he comes homeing telling me that he does not feel good.
