re: All EBR school system students to receive free lunch

It was like the scarlet letter of poor kids standing in line in the cafeteria 
This was in middle school. When kids are already just ruthless little bitches with no sympathy for others.
By the time I was in high school I didn't care. I was happy to have a hot meal each day instead of a sandwich and chips every day like my friends that brought their lunch(esp Fried Chicken Fridays with those buttered rolls that only a school cafeteria seems to know how to make)

Yeah middle schoolers were dicks.
Paying for lunches just gave me my first experience in being in debt because I would always be like 20 bucks in the whole and if have to put the sweet eyes
On the cafeteria ladies to let me eat even though I owed. That doesn't work anymore :lol.
It's kind of a fricked up system when you think about it

Jesus.. there are people that need help. Have you ever volunteered time to make your community better? My guess is no.
I've been a big brother that turned an at risk kid into a CPA, he is now a beacon.

All the fricking time.
Thankfully the head lady had a son on the football team and I would tell her I had to eat because I had practice. That worked every time....and then she would tell the next sorry kid who owed 20 cents that they were shite out of luck.

You COMPLETELY misread my post & didn't understand my intent.
I have volunteered plenty AND I give to charities, so my sense of activism hasn't left me yet.
I was pointing out to another poster that assistance programs help, but they don't automatically alleviate all of the issues nor do they magically pull people above the poverty line financially.

Wish it would have been like that when I was a kid. I was made fun of all the time because I was a free lunch kid. Back then you had to purchase these tickets beginning of the week and they punched a hole for each day. Free lunchers had a different color ticket than everyone else
Strange, I was made of because I had to pay for lunch.
My mother would prepay for my lunch online, and there would be plenty of times where she would forget to pay. So Im sitting at the lunch table basically starving and begging. They would get a kick out of it because they eat for free while Im sitting here hoping someone would spot me 2 dollars.

I used to time it out with the different lunch ladies running the computer at the end of the line, I'd go to a different line if I had begged to the same lady too many times that week
Every once in a while they'd catch on and I'd be foodless. And that made me remember to bring some money next time

So people can (barely) scrape by. Don't act like these assistance programs put people above the poverty line.
Don't act like a large percentage of these people are just scraping by. Plenty of them know how to cheat the system and get more than they should. Maybe with a better screening process the ones who really need assistance could get more.

Because studies show that 16-17mm kids go hungry LINK sorry. Mobile link
You basically linked the thing you linked before. It sites "food insecurity". Non-nutritious foods. Once again malnourishment is not the same as hunger.

Because I know from personal experience that kids do go hungry
Once again, I never said they didn't. I'm not sure why you keep repeating this. Just because you're louder doesn't make you right.

My mom would give me money to give to one of the kids that went my church on the church bus because according to the school his parents made enough to not qualify for free lunch but they never gave him any money. Gave him money every day for a year before we moved. Can't even remember his name now but I see nothing wrong with this.

Occasionally I would wait until they shut the computers down to try and go buy another milk....they would say screw it and just let me have it.
Free chocolate milk FTW.

My father paid for all the kids school trips that didn't have money. We were private school kids though.

I'm not louder. The girl in the article says she was hungry. Obviously they are talking about hunger

Being hungry isn't starving paige

I, too, choose to navigate through life basing everything off of anecdotal evidence.
