[quote=Anonymous]There is a girl in my kid's kindergarten class who constantly asks me for food after school on the playground. Recently, when another parent said she was leaving the playground to go home and eat dinner, the girl's younger sister asked if she could come home with them. The girl gets free breakfast and lunch at school. The mother is employed, but seems overwhelmed. I don't know if the kids are truly hungry in the not-enough-food-at-home kind of way or if they just want snacks. The girl is well dressed, but that doesn't mean anything. Is this something that I should mention to the teacher? My goal is not to get the family in trouble, but if they do need something I wonder if there is anything that I or the school can do. (If the answer to this question is MYOB, I can accept that, but please understand that I am asking not as a busy-body but as someone who is trying to figure out what the morally responsible thing to do is here.)[/quote]
