Summary: 5 Stars
Buy this toy! Not only is it sturdily made and offers stickers of many delicious foods, not only will it take you back to your high school and junior-high school days....but it will, (if you are like me), be a constant reminder NOT to underestimate anyone, and NOT to be snobbish.
Lunch ladies, (we called them "cafeteria ladies"), after all, need not own a BA degree as teachers must have. They don't even need an AA, (Associates in Arts) degree, as assistant teachers must have.
Yes, a lunch- (or cafeteria) lady IS an authority figure to students -- but, as these students grow older, they realize these food workers are NOT in the same "professional" class as are their teachers. One doesn't exactly look down on cafeteria / lunch ladies -- but one doesn't exactly look up to them either -- at least, not as role-models for future careers....
And yet -- yet these cafeteria ladies taught me something very, very important. Three things, really. To be patient with even the rudest and most rowdy persons, to take pride in one's job, whatever that may be -- and....to use a cup when taking soup or water out of a boiling pot! I don't know if it was an economy measure that the New York City
Board of Education had to abide by -- or if it was the truly brilliant idea of one of the lunch ladies themselves, but, in all the times I went to the cafeteria in junior High or high school, NEVER ONCE DID ANY OF THESE LADIES USE A LADLE WHEN TAKING SOUP FROM THE POT! Nope....they used CUPS! Cups are always easier to come by than ladels, and do not have to be bought separately! Now, I ALWAYS use a cup to "ladle" out soup from a saucepan! Not only that -- as I have stopped using a usually hard-to-clean tea-kettle to boil water, and instead use another, (closed) saucepan to boil water -- I ALSO use a cup to add water for tea or instant coffee!
Patience, (with even the worst people), pride, (in even a comparatively humble job), and practicality, (in using a cup, instead of a ladle, to add soup to bowls, and water to tea and instant coffee.
Three wonderful things that the cafeteria ladies in my high school, and junior high school taught me. Lessons I look back fondly on, and lessons I have found just as valuable to me any of the formal subjects I learnt at these schools. These "formal" subjects were taught by people called "teachers". But in the cafeteria, I learnt these equally important lessons, : )
