Many public schools in Utah have students help serve school lunches. But is the practice a mild form of forced labor? https://t.co/SvQDeQvyU8

Did dishes after lunch in the 80s in Oregon. We loved it because it got you out

I did it in Oregon too. Many times the lunch lady would give us cookies after.

My kids do it and they pay them like 3 bucks. They love it.

I got reduced lunch in elementary because we qualified financially. One requirement was to do a stint working the lunch

I got free school lunch and a giant lollipop every day if I volunteered to help

The Trib is just mad because those kids are getting paid more than they are

The government runs those schools. Sounds about right.
