While I am incredibly thankful that BVSD doesn't let any child go hungry ... I just know that feeling you have this letter [telling you that you didn't pay] and it's just a burden.

Better yet, why not make the kid pack their lunch? There's no shame in bringing your own lunch. Why does the kid have to buy school food every damn day? If there's no food at home to pack and bring along, then maybe a visit from CPS is warranted.

Some schools actually prohibit children bringing a lunch. At those schools the kids must eat the food provided. Certain preschool programs catering to the "underprivileged" were in the news for this several years ago. Reasons include pahrunts packing junk food such as chips and Twinkies with no veggies in sight, and also the bags or boxes causing security issues by (supposedly) being used to bring in contraband.

There are some PA school districts where more than 90% of the kids are eligible for free school lunches so the cafeteria just gives free food to everyone. This eliminates the hassle and cost of cash handling. Then again, the cost is probably made up in the school taxes that even people without kids have to pay. This is why I favor a tax on kids (in addition to property taxes), lets see how many large families there are when the parents get taxed.

I admit it is a tough spot to be in. It's not the kids' faults they have no lunch money and they shouldn't be punished for their parents' cheapness by not being allowed to eat. But if you just keep on giving them free food instead of making them pay for it, the breeders just learn that they can exploit the district's kindness and not ever give the kid a dime for food ever again.

“In April 2011, a Chicago administrator drew media approbation for a long-standing policy banning homemade lunches unless excused with a doctor’s note. Elsa Carmona, principal of Little Village Academy on the city’s west side, told The Chicago Tribune her policy protected students from unhealthful dietary choices.
"Nutrition wise, it is better for the children to eat at the school," Carmona said. "It's about the nutrition and the excellent quality food that they are able to serve [in the lunchroom]. It's milk versus a Coke. But with allergies and any medical issue, of course, we would make an exception.”

Wat.
I think it's great for school to encourage healthier eating habits in students since I'm sure a majority of them are lard asses to begin with, but to outright ban bagged lunches seems ridiculous. It especially must suck if the mandatory school-prepped meals aren't free to all students. I know I'd be pissed if someone told me I had no choice but to eat what they made and made me pay for it too.

I personally have no sympathy as the parents chose to shit out the kid. Want control of what bratly eats, send him or her to private school.
