“More likely because the thugs theyre warehousing in these government camps will steal it from the other kids.”
My guess is, that’s precisely why. Don’t punish the thugs to de-incentive them, do it by not allowing the children a reason to carry money. Oy!
Um, these are little kids, not adults in a restaurant. It’s ridiculous to treat them this way, and equally ridiculous to throw the food away.
Just wasteful and sinful all the way around.
Maybe, but taking the food away from the kids and trashing ti is just wrong. They should record the negative balances and then just bill the parents for the difference, enforceable through liens or such.
Unbelievable. Feed the kids. There are other ways to get the money.
Bingo.
Because otherwise they might learn about responsibility as children, and then how can they grow into the welfare drones that society desires them to be?
Good show.
In our school’s system we can set a balance level at which we get a notification email - I think I have it set for $10.
I imagine most systems have something similar.
On the other hand, if a student is just a few dollars in the hole they are still served.
If the deficit gets larger the school contacts the parents about the free/reduced lunch programs that are available.
Regardless of who pays, no child should go without lunch.
Sounds like Erica Lukes will have to get off her fat ass and make her child some lunch. Oh... the horror!
The Government Giveth, and the Government Taketh Away.
If only the children were still in utero, these people might care.
“If you like your school lunch, you can keep it.”
How about parents make their own kids’ damn lunch.
How about auto-send email alerts triggered by the account balance. I swear, this country is becoming more ignorant as time passes.
HAHA! Excellent!! Love it!
My son got his lunch taken away the other day. like it says they have them pick thier lunch and then they go to the puter to have the cost deducted. He had a $3 deficit, and they tossed it in the trash. BTW the check I gave him two weeks ago was still in his backpack when he got home. Some time it aint the parents fault, nor the schools. I do question the wastefulness of the tossing the food though.
No wonder there is no learning going at a schools anymore. The idiots are in charge.
Of course, they threw the meals away instead of letting
the kids finish. Typical liberal “common sense”.
When will people wake up to what has happened to this once great country?
Remember the lunch box with thermos and the nickel in the hankie? LOL!
I agree...and if the child’s account does go to a zero/negative balance for some reason, the school should still ALWAYS serve the child their lunch, but the parents should have to cough up what is owed to the school.
