not_woody_shawI’m seeing an opportunity for some rich schmuck to do some reputation-repair.
nocturneShort of paying for the entire meal program, it may not be possible. Some districts do not allow people to pay for meals/debt that OSS not their own.
When my youngest two kids were in elementary school I used to go eat lunch with them. One of the boys in my son’s class had too much debt and they would not give him food. I tried to pay his debt ($20ish) and they would not let me, so I tried to pay for his meal, not allowed. So we went and sat down at the table and I gave him a twenty. The lunch lady accepted it, but gave me a hassle about it. I told her he found it in his pocket while we were eating.
Wild notion here for most USAnites. In almost all of the world, the parents can indeed just walk into the school and see what is up with their kids, part of the school’s job is to know who are the parents to which kids. It’s part of institutional transparency and parental rights. My nephew’s schools (admittedly, in Europe) allows a family lunch day a week, when parents can enter the cafeteria and eat with their kids unannounced or simply watch what they are being served.
