I have been a lunch lady 32 years. Absolutely love the kids. When I retire I will miss them all.

Honestly was tear grabbing more than anything for that lunch lady and honestly for the troublesome boy Def needed help and needed that hug not detentions suspensions but a hug and probably someone just to talk to

"Lunch Ladies changing lives" is a great children's book that really showcases what we do everyday!

There was plenty of resentment & hurt on his part: Through consideration, patience & kindness on her part, she discovered the pleasant & charming side to the boy. Blatantly obvious who messed around in English. & didn't pay attention by some of the comments below.

Starting as a lunch lady soon. Very moving.

The fact they force us to be there for 8 hours and then make us pay for our food like we don't already pay for school is disgusting I hated watching kids get declined at school I always brought extra money just in case someone needed it and they always did I feel like this is a problem more people should pay attention too the government has enough money why take money out of ppl just trying to learn or the fact that we have to pay for our diplomas is fucking stupid
