[quote=Anonymous]There are efficiencies in the economies of scale of just making lunch available to every kid. You don't have to worry about employing folks to do the paperwork of figuring out who gets the free lunch and who doesn't. You don't have to have folks taking care of the payment system. Those resources could go to teaching resources. While we're at it, could we also centralize the supply lists? The sheer inefficiency of fifty thousand families each buying five notebooks and a dozen pens every year -- from both the standpoint of the cost of the goods and the cost of the labor -- is insane to me. (Also wondering why it's "entitled" to expect free lunch but not entitled to expect free soap and bathroom supplies. Surely both are essential to students' learning?)[/quote]
