[quote=Anonymous]The kids getting a free breakfast also get free food at home. Via the govt in food stamps and many of them also get WIC (goes up to 5 years and provides food once the kid is off baby food). The parents at home may squander the food, eat it all themselves, sell their foodstamps, etc. I am all for scaling back the food program to just lunch and putting the responsiblity back on the parents to provide food at home. If they don't. so be it. The school needs to stop sending the message to kids that they as the school are resposnible for their basic needs. It feeds the cycle. Tell the kid "your parent is responsible for you being hungry. They choose not to feed you. Sorry." And if the school knows this, it should contact social services and let them figure it out.[/quote]
