- Children’s book author Jarrett Krosoczka shares the origins of the Lunch Lady graphic novel series, in which undercover school heroes serve lunch…and justice! His new project, School Lunch Hero Day, reveals how cafeteria lunch staff provide more than food, and illustrates how powerful a thank you can be.

Even as a junior paramedic in the UK, I see cleaners work away in the background. The other staff most of the time just seem them as if they are a part of the background. But for me, I see cleaners as important as me, they clean and reduce infection and as a result they save lives. Without them our hospitals couldn't function!
For healthcare, cleaners are the the unsung heros!
This became even more true over the last few years.
I cried a little when he said she passed away : (
In elementary school we used to do these wonderful sort of "thank you" acts for the lunch workers and custodians. But as I entered middle school and high school, that gratitude quickly vanished from the student population. I hope this reminds the older students watching that you're never too old to make a hamburger card saying thank you.
Wow- thank you for this.
As I was reading the comments, I was thinking to send the link to this video to our elementary school principals. I don't know why I ended it there. I will now be sending the link to ALL our school principals. :-)
I was a lunch lady for some years, and, because of the kids, it was a very fulfilling job. Great memories...
excuse me what's mean lunch lady ? could you help me to realize it

a ;lunch lady is someone who works in a school cafeteria, preparing and serving lunches to kids:)
***** thanks a lot
I don't think people realize what a lunch lady/man does. We feed your kids with pleasure. We connect with them in ways others can't sometimes. Put a smile on there face or help when their having a bad day. I know every child that comes through my line & know what they want most of the time. I have paid for kids lunches out of my own pocket TOO many times to count. I'm not a hero in the sense that I've saved someone's life. But I know I have made a difference to a lot of kids. They have even asked me to sign their yearbook. Every day is not perfect but I wouldn't trade it. I'm more than JUST a lunch lady.
He came to my school and I remember him talking about this... Same exact words
It really amazes me how many people whose job it is that may seem trivial but in actuality, provide an almost vital service to society. Take sanitation workers, sewers and Garbage workers. They have done more to save lives then a doctor ever could. My mother is a cleaner, she cleans to make a house look nice but she does show some pride when I tell her, her work keep infection away and has properly saved a life. However, does this deserve the dinner ladies the praise that this man proposes? I don't know.
Lunch Ladies CARE, man. They care just as much as anyone. They put in an extra step to make sure to help students, watch over them, feed them... Lunch Ladies deserve more, because they're really important.
When any person who has this type of job and they take pride in doing it well is a hero in my book..these people are the real givers ...the rest of us are just takers who think we are entitled to their kindness.
I've been subbed to TED for years, normally roll my eyes at these emotional videos.
But this might be the most powerful TED talk i've ever seen.
Thanks.
Thank you so much, this comment and this video made me tear up, From an elementary cafeteria monitor who loves all 600 crazy kids 😀
For my grandmother, Bernadine NANA Kelly Gubisch and her 'Lunch Lady' days so looong ago. . . .RIP Nana and Thank You for everything. . .
I've got one of those smiling down on me too.😘😘❤️
Makes me miss my awesome Lunch Lady from 1-5th grade.
He's my favorite author
All my love and admiration to my lunch lady hero my wife. Honey what you and the others do for the kids is amazing.
What a "wow" talk
this is awesome! so glad you acknowledged their jobs habe value & that people love them!
I love lunch lady I always get it out my school library
I love this... and also, what is this salty substance coming from my eyes? Thanks for sharing this great and important topic. Three cheers for lunch ladies, and those that feed the world.
jobs like these (cleaners, garbage disposal men, etc.) are jobs people should take pride in! everybody is important in their own way, and some people may have more influence on people, but everybody should feel like they're just as important as a minster or a lawyer. because they are!
This is fantastic. Never heard of this, also it makes one reflect of other duties people do for society that might "easily be overlooked or unnoticed" and not respected for what it actually is. Thank you.
Anything but you, Topkek.
Really really happy about this one ted.
My lunch ladies are the nicest people I’ve ever met they always say hi and smile and they talk to you,they never get their proper credit
At junior school there was always a kindly massive-bosomed dinner lady to talk to if things were difficult at home. They were like social workers in a way.
Where can I purshare this book for my grandchildern Ms Betty
There was this really nice lunch lady at my school whom had been there for 15 years or so that was able to remember possibly all of our names which I think was impressive.
he just came to my school about 2_3weeks ago
can you come to poter elementary school in mesquite please
I always thought when they said 'lunch lady' they meant the person who was there to facilitate the seating of children and dismiss them from their tables to go to recess. I have no memory of the people filling the trays with food, but I definitely remember the other lady.
Some lunch ladies / men are better in giving nutrition than others. Though I have thanked those that worked to give a meal before when in school and otherwise.
great great
So cute
Beautiful!!!
I have the feels
That was beautiful.
so sweet i love.
I mean Jarret and Lunch Lady

Sorry, I didn't watch the video, just came here to quote Adam Sandler.
Did he write Captain Underpants?
😃
ciao a tutti
Hey i know you you went to gate lane school
Over here elementary schools don't serve lunch for the students, it's mostly the (private) kindergartens who take care of feeding the children during the mid-day pause. Restaurants in education facilities won't appear until the University campuses, and they really suck. One restaurant per campus, which will have to feed approximately a thousand students, and the food isn't even clean and healthy let alone nutritious or delicious. The students who go there do so because it's really cheap (like in pennies). If I meet any of our "lunch ladies" I'd be sure to extract revenge for all the hair and nails you'll find in our soupe
I feel like Ted talks has become progressively less interesting
Why is this a TED talk?
Onion talks, I found your lost guest.
Bekfast
their job has value of course, but that is not heroism.
Tell that to a hungry child.
A journalist isn't a hero either, but Superman (Clark Kent the journalist) is.
Jarret's main point isn't about the glory of the job, his main point is about *media representation*. It's good for people to see positive representations of aspects of themselves in the media, it has a positive psychological effect. It's like seeing non-white people, gay people, and women on TV playing good character roles.
No-one likes being invisible.
You missed the point.
No worry, one day you will get it.
Cheers
"A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended." - Batman.
Read Joseph Campbell's Hero of a Thousand Faces. Heroes and heroism are different things though they are often involved in a similar way. Anyone who overcomes an obstacle is a hero and you can tell a story of any hero in any situation possible.
If you think that a hero is someone who 'saves the day' or saves someone's life, then you don't understand what the word hero means. You do not have any 'rational coherence' yourself if you don't even understand what a hero is in the first place.
Eventually, they'll be replaced by robots...

what type of food you eat is as important as your genes in determining how educated you become. computer programmers, doctors, scientists, engineers etc. see India's school lunch program; they eat real food! I don't blame the lunch ladies as they and their parents grand parents been taught to eat low quality foods by their masters who own their country. as Hitler said; when you make people used to living in the most miserable conditions yet they think they have it made. know your enemy; real My Struggle by Hitler and Satanic bible with great caution and pray a lot for evil is a force we must fight and stop forever. imayabell twitter/facebook

Hopefully the job will go away soon and will be automated with robots. What a waste of a humans mind on such a menial labor job.
