[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] it all detracts from the schools mission which is to teach. If school’s returned to that mission, the education they provide would improve. Thus I’m not P-ing vinegar… I’m offering solutions that will actually help.[/quote] They can't perform their primary function of teaching if the kids are hungry.  In fact, this is what makes the rest of your slippery slope hyperbolic argument nonsensical, because all these hungry people are not being taught by the school, so there is the logical extension to students only.[/quote]

Did you read the post, it admits is hyperbole so calm down… its point is the kids shouldn't be hungry.

DD attends a 'low-income' school, she says no one eats the breakfast... so I'll have to agree with the original PP you responded to (what’s the acronym for that?)  cynicism and all. Schools need to teach, let the parents do the rest. If you are inspired to do more, do it through your church, mosque or civil charitable services… donate to meals on wheels, etc. I want my child to attend school for an education, which is why we have a public education system. It’s transitioned over the generations to a public social service system and the education provided is increasingly wanting. We DDs parents will not only supplement that education at home but provide all the ‘social services’ necessary for DD (or seek them elsewhere for her if need be). The more the schools alleviate the parent from their parental responsibility, the less responsible they and the child will be making it more likely their education experience worsens, not improves.
