On the surface it's seems like a cop out from the teacher, but on reflection if half the kids end up being able to cook a half decent meal themselves, all be it with a jar of sauce, it's better than them thinking every meal has to come in microwave tray or take-a-way.
Growing up I thought the only way to make a casserole was to bung a packet of Schwartz powder into a pot of meat, veg and water- as well as other travesties. My favorite meal was ham salad...
Going to Uni and having to cook for myself was a revelation!
Obviously the OP cares about the little one's culinary education and will take the time to teach him/her to do it properly. It's never to early; I was baking a chocolate cake for the wife's return from a hen do last weekend with our 1 year old in her highchair in the kitchen and talking her through it 😳 😆

I bought a jar of pasta sauce the other day for camping
We tend to use Loyd Grossman curry sauces when camping, anything heavily tomato based tastes 'chemically' to us.
