[quote=Anonymous][quote]Of course not. But, there will be plenty of kids who do not need the assistance that will take advantage of the program. As a side note - as a young teacher, my husband and I struggled to make ends meet in the DC area. We pinched pennies, worked hard, I took on summer jobs - it was tough. I had students who were getting free lunch who had nicer clothes, very expensive shoes (brand name tennis shoes - think Michael Jordan), the newest electronic games, etc. These were items that their parents bought them (the kids were proud of the fact that their parents got them pretty much everything they wanted). It was experiences like this that made me start to question our nation’s effort to assist those who are in need.[/quote] I understand. You need to come and see the suburban and rural poor (immigrant poor do not wear expensive clothing). The programs are not perfect, but they help lots of kids who need help. [/quote]
