Okay I agree that families who don’t qualify for free lunches shouldn’t get the free hand outs. But I don’t agree with letting the kids starve. It’s not their fault their parents are losers. It’s not their fault they don’t have lunch money to pay for lunch. You all are also right, on the fact that beggars can’t be choosers. And the lady who wrote the article got it wrong, cheese sandwiches are not served cold, the majority of schools heat them up.
But just to argue for the sake of arguing, I think something needs to be done. I don’t agree with not feeding a kid if they don’t have any money. That is the very wrong way to go. Sure, it might work for a kid who misses out on 1 or 2 payments, but when a kid never has the money, because his parents don’t care about him, that will lead him down a bad path. I knew a lot of kids growing up who depended on the school systems breakfast and lunch, it was the only source of nutrition they got.
If the parents are poor then the kid get the free lunches. If the parents don’t give money cause they don’t care bout there kid then that should go to DSS.
I would have saved my lunch money for other things and ate the free cheese sand and bev for lunch every day if it was available even if it is cold
