The teachers patrolled the areas kids are allowed to sit in, both in primary school and high school (no middle school here, high school runs from year 7 to year 12). ....That.....sounds far too identical to how public schools are here. Way too much.

In the school I went things changed too fast with the food. Both in price and quality. Starting from when I entered it up to by the time I left...:

-1st/2nd Grade: Imagine having 10$ and buying 2 hot dogs of good quality, with at least 3 different sauces for you to choose, plus a soda can, and still have enough left for another go.

-3rd/4th Grade: Now with 10$ you would only be able to get 1 hot dog, 1 soda, and maybe a candy. By 4th grade there weren't really any hot dogs being sold anymore, so we had to make do with the other things.

5th/6th Grade: Now you needed like 20$ just to get something to eat, and barely would get enough left to buy a cheap candy.

1st/2nd Year: Prices went up, now it was about 30$ just to eat a simple thing we call pastelito, or an empanada, which were done mediocrely, they were practically nothing but oil inside, and you would have nothing left, not even a single coin.

3rd Year: They went up again, but now there was even less variety of food, and in drinks, there was no soda, never was.

4th Year: The people that ran the canteen were either fired or left, IDK, and were replaced by a man so fat he made Baymax look like a stick figure by comparison. The quality of the food was muuch different: The pastelitos and empanadas no longer (always) felt like they were filled with oil, but they also felt like there was no oil at all, which means that the cheese or whatever inside felt dry, very dry. Variety of food was about the same as the year before.

At first, prices were acceptable again. You took like 40$, got food, a drink and had enough left for another one. But in less than a year the prices practically multiplied constantly. What once costed 15 was now about 35.

5th Year: They added some variety while making it also much worse than it is. Imagine having 100$, and a hamburger that costed you 95 of those 100$. Although "hamburger" is too much of an unnecesary compliment. It was nothing but a round piece of bread with a nugget inside, a single vegetable on top, and nothing more. Oh, and it was smaller than McDonalds's hamburgers. But since there's always dumb sheeps, the canteen did sell a few.

The food overall was a bit smaller. There were also hot dogs again, worth about 50, not worth it since they were smaller than my middle finger and had the most common, cheap hot dog. The rest of the food also increased in cost in about 10 again. They started selling doritos and stuff by about 60 for a small bag that is smaller than my hand.
