Did you also walk to school up hill both ways
No, but I did have a catastrophic open lung surgery and play football a year later. I also lived in NOLA East and saw what happens when people get conditioned with receiving free stuff they didn't earn.
I feel for the kids, I really do as they didn't get to chose their parents, but at some point you have to try to break the cycle of just being handed free shite.

That teacher is an idiot then. I think most of us would be thrilled to get a hot lunch at work for only $3.50.
Especially one that included school cafeteria buttered rolls
Exactly. To get a lunch equivalent to what they serve at school, I have to shell out at least $10-$12.

I know what the word means and I know a fascist when I come across one.

The school has no mechanism for punishing the parents. Any action taken by the school will have to affect the kid in some manner.
That’s easily fixable. Put it on the property tax bill. Or have the sherriff’s office mail them a ticket with a court date if they don’t pay.

Second, the consequence here is incredibly minor and has no long term negative effect on the child. Missing an hour of recreation, to which you were not entitled, is minimal.
If the effect is minor, then their is no point in doing it in the first place, especially when more effective measures (like the ones above) are possible.

My wife works In the office at my kids school so I can give a bit of clarification on this.
1. Even if a kid has a zero or negative balance in their school lunch account, by law the school still has to serve that child a lunch. However, the kid cannot get extras with that lunch like ice cream or sweet tea if their account is empty. The child also cannot get breakfast if they do not have and money in their account. As for cokes, they do not allow any carbonated drinks in the lunch room. Kids aren't even allowed to bring them from home if I remember correctly.
That may be true at her school but is 100% not the norm.

The story in the OP is a horrible attempt to do that. Breaking cycles start at home, not school

Put your kid, if you have one, in a “break the cycle” scenario and see how gung ho you are

I highly doubt that considering you seem to equate fascism with conservatives.

It is law. The one thing he forgot to add is kids with overdue balances aren’t dntitled to regular lunches. They can be served PBnJs and the like

Do they even still serve the buttered rolls in the cafeteria? Those things were amazing.
Those things were treated like gold when I was in school(elementary, middle, and high school). Kids might not eat the rest of the stuff on their plates...but you never saw an uneaten roll on the dirty tray line

All of this requires changes to the law and a ticket is a criminal offense.
There is no mechanism for this enforcement.

The negative effects are minor. The positive effect is instilling an understanding in young people the importance of meeting obligations.

You just used that term to describe someone who was voicing their opinion that behavior should have consequences... No, you don't know.

I've already said it's a dumbass mechanism.
That being said, I'm open to some smarter examples. Maybe the reduced/free lunches should be something insanely healthy, cheap, and not what kids want to eat.

What public school kid has an unpaid lunch balance...
My grandson's entire school gets free lunch and free breakfast because a certain percentage qualified. A lot of six figure income families getting free lunch and breakfast.

Give these folks like Darth_Vader their way and it would happen here.

I think they do, just not every day.
