Anyone off here got or had a child in secondary school?

How do they do the food? Ours has a canteen where the kids "pay" with their fingerprint. They don't seem to show prices anywhere obvious, and they can buy stuff at morning break and lunch. As a result my greedy child is buying stuff twice a day and spending all my money.

Seems a stupid system, and I am incandescent about it.

And yes, I can tell her she has a budget, but if you think that goes in you are more stupid than you look.
