St Paul's Girls school which is a middle range private school, was criticised for holding an "austerity day" where they are baked potatoe with beans for lunch, instead of their normal options like herb-crsuted salmon or duck leg confit.
The event was criticised for showing ignorance about what poverty really is.
Maybe they should have gone to KFC for lunch and breathed second hand smoke all day to make it more realistic? |

Austerity to me means rations, like during the 2nd world war so maybe they should have made omelettes our of powdered egg and ate corned beef |

Wouldn't that be more of a war time diet experience? |

Yes...
I would say austerity and poverty are 2 different things anyway..
Austerity means tightening your belts and making do with what you have
Poverty means being so poor that you live below the breadline |

I found it quite crass to criticise a school for trying to teach the girls about austerity! Like they didn't do a good enough job of improverishing them for a day! |

"Can't win these days. They'd be criticised no matter what they do."
It's also a bullshit attempt to try and make them seem like an ultra elite private school when they are just middle of the road. |
