[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My daughter is in third grade in a relatively well-off school, and a lot of kids from her grade, DD included, buy lunch at the school cafeteria. It is not free for us, and it is not 'unpopular'. Makes me wonder why Title 1 kids don't eat food - for free - that our relatively more affluent children have to buy.[/quote] PP, there's no such thing as a "Title I kid".[/quote] Title one identifies a school with a high percentage of parents with lower incomes who get free lunches. Many kids bring their lunches as the school lunches are gross. Just because it is free doesn't mean it is good or healthy.[/quote] I worked at a Title 1 school where children would bring a gigantic bag (8 to 10 servings) of chips to school and say that was their lunch and I always make them go get the actual school lunch because at least that had some nutritional value. I think the potato chip thing was like a status symbol[/quote]
