[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hungry kids are more disruptive.

I am also grouchy and unfocused when hungry, and my kid is even worse.  Fortunately, the money in my pocket means he never goes to school hungry.[/quote]

Can't really use that as an excuse when free meals are available.  http://www.dc.gov/DCPS/Beyond+the+Classroom/Food+Services/Application+for+Free+and+Reduced+Meals[/quote]
OMG![/quote]

Free breakfast
Free lunch
Free after school snack
Five days a week

And then on top of that, there's SNAP, food pantries and lots of other things available.

When I fell on hard times a while back I managed to survive for over two years on the equivalent of ten bucks a week in food budget, that's a lot less than what SNAP provides per person so don't tell me it can't be done.  No reason kids should be going hungry given all that's available in this city.  Anyone whose kids are going hungry isn't trying.  Anyone who is letting their kids go hungry is just flat out abusing them.[/quote]
