[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feeding kids is fine with me; food has always been part of what schools do.

But clothes, food sent home, parent classes, etc., etc., unless they are coming out of a different social services budget, and use separate staff, but just happen to be housed at the school as a convenient place to contact the parents? Nope. I'd like to see that go.[/quote]

Clothing and food home are not coming from social service budgets or even gov't.  They are from private donations or food pantries that the teachers/staff do probably on their own time.  Why on earth would you take that away beyond being selfish?[/quote]

Because it starts out as one teacher with granola bars in her drawer, and turns into an office or classroom space becoming a food pantry, with significant resources devoted to maintaining it. As I said above, if it truly doesn't impact the school budget or instructional needs, and just happens to be housed at the school for convenience, then sure. That's not what people are talking about here.[/quote]
