Parents should be responsible and understand that their kids are their responsibility and the effects that has on their kids!
Also, no one is FORCING them to pay for school lunch. Nothing wrong with brown baggin' it. You aren't forced to buy a meal plan with the school or pay them for lunches you don't eat. If youre less fortunate you are on free or reduced lunch, this is for people who straight up don't pay or who have gone too far into the negative.

You very obviously have no idea how school lunches work. This "alternative" lunch is for students who have already used up this "deposit" and have a zero account balance
It means you put a security down, it is not used to pay for the lunches. If you don't pay for your lunches, you lose your money.....many parents would choose to send the 10 bucks in to feed the child versus lose their 100 buck or 200 buck deposit. That way the school system is shielded from a loss, the kid is provided a meal, and you have a 100 buck cushion to utilize to secure additional payment. Buying you a couple months.
We do it for all kinds of utilities to secure payments are made, treat the food as a utility.

thought you just weren't allowed to eat when you didn't have lunch money.
Yeah, either had to borrow money or eat things other kids don't want from their lunch.

Depends on ages.
They can deny meals if the kids don't have money in high school. This is not allowed in elementary school. You can't have 6-year-olds starving because their parents are shits.

New to me.
No money, no eat is how it used to go.

Pretty much all that needs to be said. Anyone who can willingly take food out of the mouths of children in need is a piece of shite.
But thats not what is being done. They just get pb&j.
And judging by the crap they feed my kid (thanks Michelle), it's probably an improvement.
And if you cant afford the lunch at the school I have a novel idea. Make your kid a lunch. I do it every night for mine because he hates the school food.

I think school lunch should be provided for every student, regardless of income. No kid should ever be given a cheese sandwich because of the actions of their parent(s). Not only does the kid go hungry,but he/she faces public humiliation. Schools shouldn't operate as businesses. So much of the food is thrown out at the end of the day anyway. Why waste it?

Some schools are CEP, meaning their percentage of free/reduced students is high enough that they can go ahead and give everyone free lunches. EBR is all CEP. Other schools choose to pay for the "full paid" students anyway. If many of their students are free/reduced anyway, the cost isn't TOO high to go ahead and cover the costs of the full paid students.
But some schools have very few free/reduced students. And provided free lunches to them is expensive.. a cost that many schools cannot afford.
Now if what you're saying is that the NSLP should provide free lunches to all students (outside of private schools) regardless of their income, I don't disagree with that. But that goes beyond the school level. You're looking at reform within the entire program.

I'm sure the school district could find a way to solve the issue without being mean to the children.
I disagree with this logic.
It's not "mean" to provide someone a free lunch. Just because the lunch is not the exact same as the other children (who's parents are paying on time) does not describe it as mean.
It's a life lesson. Builds character.

frick it. Why make them pay for anything. The school should pay for their school supplies and school uniforms as well. Hell, pay for their book bags.
Odd that we pay for all those things for convicted felons...

frick, because of the new rules, some schools won't even let kids bring a lunch anymore.
The schools yell at you if they don't have all the "food groups". Nasty that they force fed me milk all those years. I had to get a note from my doctor to get a glass of water.

Not sure where you are but I checked today, students pay 1.15 per school meal

No, it does not. I'm sure the school district has the funds available to pay for the lunches.
What a stupid statement.
Go ahead and send a check to my kids school to cover his lunch.
