Prof. Hughesprofessor
Diet has a strong effect on long-term health. Should schools be responsible for teaching students how to eat healthily, or is that a family matter?
Sofiastudent
Schools should teach it. Many students lack guidance at home, and a single class can give every child the same reliable knowledge about nutrition.
Marcusstudent
Nutrition starts at home, in my view. Families control daily meals and habits, and schools already struggle to cover their core subjects.
