I don't get why this bill is making school food workers get more training. It seems like a waste of time and money. Why do they need to learn more stuff anyway? Can't they just keep doing what they're doing? How will this even help me or my kids?

I don't like this new bill for school food workers. It's gonna make things harder for us and I don't think it's fair. They should be focusing on other things instead of making our jobs more difficult. I hope they change this soon. #notcool
