dandelionwhen my parents didn’t give me lunch money, I just didn’t have lunch - I’m don’t think the lunch room offered a “debt” program, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t going to get a lunch without payment …
EDIT: just to be clear, I’m in favor of free lunches for children (jesus, who would think this needs to be stated) partially because I went without and know what that’s like. I was bullied for eating out of garbage cans, kids younger than me would intentionally spit on their food and destroy their food to try to deny me their leftovers.
I’m just surprised kids are able to get lunch debt - I lived in the South and I suspect the schools just had more right-wing policies (like not even letting kids go into debt to have lunches). I wonder who is responsible for that debt, I would have loved to rack up debt and stick my parents with it (since it was because they were irresponsible and immoral that I was in that situation to begin with - they had plenty of money, they just refused to provide lunches).
TexasDrunkWe got a peanut butter sandwich and a lecture to bring money in the future.
Every kid should be fed. Use my taxes and feed them little goblins for free at school.
yeah, looking back I was taking food out of garbage cans on days I couldn’t stand the fasting … my parents could more than afford school lunches, so this wasn’t an issue of poverty, but I agree that kids should be fed, and if I were a parent there is no chance I would let my kid go to school without some kind of lunch
In my elementary school they had a third party company doing lunches. So they would collect money in class for the day then make exactly that number of meals and no more. However, there was pretty much no supervision or tracking at lunch, so every day they would run out of meals before the line ran out and whoever was at the end of the line got a pb sandwich.
Happened very literally every single day.
