The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I've always had this question about exclusive private schools for extremely rich kids, like kids from multi-multi-millionaire families. This question applies to private schools from elementary to high school. Do their private chefs just pack them lunches, or do private schools have high-end food for lunch in the cafeterias?

I worked at an outdoor ed place which catered to rich private schools and some wealthy public districts. They could seat 400 people for lunch service and had two separate kitchens for upstairs and downstairs dining rooms). I looked forward to meals there 3x a day.

Things that stand out:

  1. Buffet style, all you can eat. Staff serving you the food from a serving line. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
  2. Always had fresh food, prepared that day from scratch. Nice restaurant quality, but not like Michelin Star fine dining. Stuff kids like, bit also aduts would too. Usually some comfort foods and some things more interesting / unusual.
  3. Menu on an 8 day rotation with some special changes thrown in, for example "chicken waffles" day about once a month. Great variety.
  4. The head baker (separate from the head chef) would always be testing new recipes and handing out fruit bars, cookies, pastries, etc. to staff. These were typically only available to the teachers as a lowkey incentive to take their schools to our place for field trips. The teachers also had all kinds of booze in their rooms and had vacation while we took care of everything.

The kids tended to be super spoiled, but there were some nice ones. We bribed them all to drink water by getting them a pitcher of "Special Drink" for the table after they finished a first pitcher of water as a group. This was a pitcher of ice and soft drinks/ powerade made and layered in such a way that they made cool patterns. We had sunrise, "hulk drink", various rainbows, etc. Staff would have their specialties and trade techniques.

I met some other educators who worked at a less fancy place nearby and they said their cafeteria was all fried foods and gross.
