@kensanata To be fair, applying for free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch is a one-page form for people who need it. It's just middle and upper class kids who have to remember to ask their parents for money.
@webbureaucrat @kensanata that's... Somehow making it worse. Yet another piece in a ludicrous bureaucracy that subjugates people that the US became
@stooovie @webbureaucrat @kensanata
Also it ignores that reduced price =/= free and therefore excuses not feeding children who had the TEMERITY to choose poor parents.
Hungry children don't learn, this isn't a debate.
Reduced price is for kids with parents who could afford to pay a small amount. Kids who have parents who can't afford to pay receive free lunches.
These are programs I know about because I benefited from them and I am happy to educate you, but if you're going to use caps with me then go fly a kite.
Interesting.
The point that you're trying to avoid is:
There are families with children too poor to eat yet not "poor enough" to receive free food.
I repeat hungry children don't learn.
Explain lunch debt with your experience of the situation. Are the families which need fundraisers too stupid to get free lunches or too lazy?
Or might there be another reason?
