[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let's look forward:  What is your school (public, private, independent or public charter) doing to make sure no child goes hungry?[/quote]

While I think it's great families are being fed, it's really not the school's job.

I'm growing increasingly disgusted by the way DC infantalizes its citizens. They get free housing, food/stamps, cell phones, every type of assistance you can imagine. That's why you see a huge blanket of generational poverty in DC like you see no place else. What incentive do these people have to be responsible? No one talks to them about personal responsibility or making good choices.

Sure, feed hungry families perhaps find different neighborhood centers to do it in. For one, they're closer.[/quote]

Do NOT agree with your message, but DO agree the feeding should not be taking place at a school there are other emergency type sites that should be established in communities for all types of disasters so that people always know where to go, not have to look something up on the Internet to see if certain schools are feeding based on who can get there. It also means people are traveling across the city when they shouldn't be, use local neighborhood facilities and make them open to all who are hungry. [b]Decisions about the safety of schools opening should not be based on feeding, but based on safety and access.[/b] [/quote]

Yet that's exactly why schools are open today: free food.  If it were about safety, they'd be closed.  [/quote]
