[quote=Anonymous]Some of you are seriously misguided.

The idea that it is such an abomination to provide free lunch to every child in a title 1 school because it is somehow an unfair redistribution of tax dollars is one of the most selfish and asinine things I've read on this site.

You have no idea how schools- especially public schools- and this process work. Having to keep track of which students could and could not receive this every day is prohibitive and a waste of time. There is also a stigma that comes along with being singled out in the classroom, whether it is leaving for learning disability services, for not being able to keep up with material or- and especially- for being identified as someone 'without.'

I am a teacher and I see this every day. There is no grand robin hood scheme stealing from the wealthy to provide cheap croissants with sausages to all of the children. This is seriously what you are concerned about? That in some schools where the vast majority of students do qualify for free and reduced lunch, a few children and sneaking in under the radar and getting some free meals?

Pathetic. You should be ashamed.

Just feed your kid organic yoga with no sugar added granola and call it a day.

You may also want to send in a note barring your child from eating the prepared breakfast- it is probably full of preservatives.[/quote]
