I live in the US and I doubt the student cleaning tradition ever gets imported…but it reminds me…

I’ve always wondered why we don’t ask sufficiently old children to make their own lunch at school. Surely a sixth grader is capable of making their own lunch and it’s a huge opportunity to learn about nutrition and basic kitchen skills.

I obviously don’t think that a 12-year-old child should be deep-frying french fries but there’s a lot we could find for them to do.
