ive been outta school for half a decade and i'm american, paying for lunch in public schools is a normal thing (pretty sure it is for charter too but idr). i know here at least as young as middle school you have to pay. is it normal for people in other countries outside of the US to have to pay for lunch?
Where I am in Australia, we all packed lunches at home and brought them to school. Few schools actually had food for sale, and when they did, it was individual snack items with no mess hall to eat at. You’d just buy a hot potato cake or dim sim (an Aussie dim sum variant) with spare coin and then eat it with your packed lunch on the grass with your school mates. But as for me and my group, we never really bought anything in all our years back in school.
I'm still a student too, and yep, from the time you start school until your last year, you have to pay for lunch. It's so normal here in my country to the point that I wish I were born in South Korea because I've heard school lunches are free there. And sometimes I just starve myself~~ (〜￣△￣)〜(〜￣△￣)〜
Depends on the country really. In Korea and Hong Kong you have to pay the lunch fees. So like its a monthly fees. In Japan, it depends on the school, there is where you pay it on the apot or the monthly fees again. This is based on my experience

Not really, in SK unless you are funded by school (poverty program) you have to pay monthly fees. In primary school only the lunch is free (also depends on the school) in middle and high school you have to pay lunch fees. And usually its not that high (again depends on school)

thats really interesting! my mom always worked, still does, so i never got proper home cooked lunch most of the time. i particularly grew up around other working class kids so a lot of us when we had something special for lunch it was usually snacks, sometimes kids would stop by the corner store for bags of takis that kids would beg each other to share lol

Yes in my country we always have to pay for lunch, unless you packed lunch.

yeah we always had a canteen but most of the time we just either bring our own, order food or go out to get food
