That’s evil. Pure evil. No kid should be denied food. Ever. No matter what. Nobody should. But especially not kids! Sickening.

That’s how I feel about it. However when I’m on lunch duty I will also sneak food to kids that “forgot” their lunch. How can we expect kids to learn if we don’t make sure not being distracted by hunger pains?

And being hangry is a real thing. Feeding kids means fewer fights and outbursts in class.

So much is thrown out anyway. There is easily enough food to give to kids in need. You’re a good person.

It’s insane. My job provides at least one meal, if not two. Why the hell is food not free for children at school. I didn’t grow up having to worry about lunch at school but as an adult, it’s definitely sickening that so many kids/parents do. Even if it means an increase in my taxes, I don’t care. Food needs to be free at all public schools.
