Being in charge of SOMETHING
By Julianne

Some people just need to be in charge of something. It sounds like this person is one of them. You're probably on the right track if you're going through your principal and school board on this issue. If you each complain
individually to this woman she will probably not change anything. But if there is consensus that things need to change, then the changes should be made in writing and presented as policy by your principal. Some suggestions: Portion size should be specific - 1/2 cup vegetables, for example. Teacher rights and responsibilites should be listed - teachers must accompany their class to

the lunchroom. They may go to the head of the line to receive their lunch. If everything is in writing it's harder to ignore it and the cafeteria supervisor can "enforce" the new rules just as well as the old ones. In other words, she's still in charge, just new rules to make others follow. I'm betting the one thing you can't make her change is her disrespect for the students and teachers.
