"Please don't make my child say 'Itadakimasu' as we are paying for school lunch."

2025/11/30 Edited to

... Read more「いただきます 廃止」や「いただきますを言わない」って検索してみると、賛否が本当に割れますよね。私も最初は、給食費の話が出るとつい「払ってる/払ってない」の議論になりがちで、気持ちがギスギスするのが苦手でした。でも教室で子どもたちの意見を聞いていると、「いただきます」は誰かを責めるための言葉じゃなくて、“見えないところ”を想像するスイッチなんだなと感じました。 給食って、献立を立てる栄養士さん、朝早くから大量調理する調理員さん、食材を運ぶ人、農家さんや酪農家さん、そして食べる側の私たち…いろんな人の手間の上に成り立っています。給食費はその一部を負担しているけれど、例えば「育てる時間」「天候のリスク」「命そのもの」みたいに、値段を付けきれない要素がたくさんある。子どもにそこまで難しく言わなくても、「お金で払って終わりじゃない部分もあるんだね」と気づけたら十分だと思いました。 一方で「小学校 給食 ひどい」「日本 給食」みたいな検索が増える背景には、量が少ない・予算が厳しい・地域差があるといった現実もあります。足立区の給食、奈良の給食など自治体名で調べる人が多いのも、その差を体感しているからかもしれません。だからこそ、現場としては“精神論”だけで片付けず、「今の給食はどういう条件で作られているのか」「給食費で賄える範囲はどこまでか」も、できる範囲で共有したほうが誤解が減ると感じます。 もし「いただきます」を言わない家庭があっても、私は否定したくありません。代わりに、食べ始める前の一呼吸として「作ってくれてありがとう」「今日も食べられてよかった」みたいに、その家の言葉があってもいい。大事なのは、誰かを言い負かすことではなく、子どもが食と命を雑に扱わない感覚を育てること。給食費の話題が出たときほど、そこに立ち戻りたいなと思っています。
