I hear ya.
Signed my son up for high school on Friday. You should have seen the look on the face of the lady that asked me if we needed a free/reduced lunch form when I told her that we didn’t. She had to do a double take and look up at me to see what kind of alien creature was standing before her.
Big giveaway for school supplies in August for this area. Free breakfasts. Free lunches. Free school supplies. Some people don’t have to pay for anything any more.

Oh, I know, and we don't want to “embarrass” the kids that can't “afford” lunch so we have a machine they put a code in so no money changes hands. Those that don't need free lunch and breakfast gladly take it, but when my kids get lunch the money comes out of an account I have to set up. Can't just send them to school with a couple bucks. Might make the other kids question their parents lack of responsibility to feed them!
But the kids know the kids getting free lunch. And most of them are on their iPhones as they punch in their code!

Hell....In my old hometown, they have free meals all summer long...cuz the kids are too damn lazy to walk home and make a pb&j sandwich and pour a glass of milk. Of course, that might cut into momma's beer money for her boyfriends.
Don't ask me the demographics.

You MUST have been signing up in the district where I teach! You WOULD have been looked at like an alien for refusing the free lunch form.

It's almost as if they are trying to condition the students into an entitlement mentality!
