Remember those school lunches we used to hate?
Bland pizza bread. Beefaroni. Chicken nuggets.
It’s tough trying to make interesting, nutritional meals if the kids aren’t interested in eating anything beyond the basic mac ‘n cheese or hamburger.

Like most of us, Web Watch remembers the joys and the horrors of grade school gym class.
Remember that annual tradition of learning square dancing during the cold winter months? Nobody liked doing that, but it was something for the gym teachers to foist upon their charges and hope for the best.
Anything was better than running laps, typically. Square dancing wasn’t it.

High school athletics are nothing to sneeze at.
For some, it’s a required part of the curriculum, intended to encourage healthy living and the strong development of young bodies still growing.
For others, it’s a way out of a podunk town and into a major university or professional career.
But if you participate in a solid high school sports program, there’s a good chance that you’ll end up hurt…. or even dead.

You’re likely familiar with the book ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN.
Sure, it’s a funny title and has almost become a cliche – but there really is a lot of truth to the topic, perhaps some item that you hadn’t taken the time to thing about recently.

Parents have it tough when their kids get sick.
Do you keep the kids at home, where you have to either take your own sick day or find a babysitter? Or do you send the kids to school so they can maintain their 100% attendance record?
Maybe you should just let the schools decide for you.

How many of you went to college? More importantly – how many of you are still paying off your student loans?
Perhaps the size of your outstanding student loan payments can be directly related to what school you went to versus the career you chose.

When it comes to beverages, there are COFFEE PEOPLE and NON-COFFEE PEOPLE.
There are also people who LIKE BEER and those who HATE BEER.
Some parents have even gotten into the habit of lying to their children about coffee – telling them that you must be 16 years old before you could legally buy or drink coffee at all, putting coffee squarely into the “adult beverages” world that is usually exclusively assigned to alcohol.

Web Watch can recall some good times eating at the college cafeteria.
From the unlimited double-cheeseburgers to the fresh scooped chocolate milkshakes (salad bar be damned!), the all-you-can-eat cafeteria was well worth the daily fee that the 21-meals a week program required.
Oh, there were some naysayers. Some thought that they could eat better in their dorm room for $5 a day, cooking only with a hot pot and a down-the-hall microwave. An in-room kitchenette? A shared refrigerator? These would be luxuries that were not available at the time.
Of course, today is different, and students are picking their colleges for their food as much as they are for their education.
