I have never heard of a district outlawing homemade food to school. I imagine I understand it, though. Does that mean you can only have parties with store bought stuff? Do you even have parties? What about cultural celebrations? In my world, Hmong, Lao, etc food just isn't available in the grocery store. Have they just outlawed all the celebrations all together? I DO know of schools that have outlawed all traditional holiday celebrations.
I was just curious.
