January 21 2011 at 8:22 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI work in a school, and do not have a problem with free breakfasts and lunches for the kids who parents cannot afford to pay. What I have a problem with is the amount of food, milk and juices that go into the trash. Milk and juice cartons, unopened, go into the trash. Fruit, not touched, go into the trash. Plate lunches, some not even touched, except those who "play" with the food, go into the trash. Close to the end of the lunch period, it's announced the kids can go to the "snack" bar and buy cookies, whatever they have that day, and a majority of the kids buy from the snack bar. Can't pay for their lunches but they can buy from the snack bar (and by the way, they all have cell phones). Because this is "federally funded", the untouched leftovers can't be given to employees (and I'm including teachers) to take home. Cannot be given to charity groups who feed the hungry, and we do have hungry people in my small town. Federally funded, meaning our tax dollars are going into the trash rather than doing more good for the hungry. Getting off the subject here but saw 2 women come into the school to pick up the "angel tree" gifts for their kids. Both women had cell phones to their ears, neither one put the phone away to accept the gifts. Back on the subject, I know that the school breakfast and lunches might be the only food some of the kids get and I want them to have it. I also understand there could be a "liability" aspect somewhere in giving the food away, but these are hard times and could help so many people. That said, Merry Christmas everyone, and God bless you.

i know some people are dishonest , rich poor , or middle class
but does it say only all pooor should be honest?
while the rich lie lie lie . maybe they should have a snack bar !
then the kids would eat thier lunches . when i was a kid we didnt have snack bars , we either brought our lunch or we ate from lunches from the school it was either cold lunch or hot lunch
so either ate what ur parents sent or u ate what the school made
and if ur parents couldnt afford to buy lunches they let ur child work in the lunch room for a free lunch .
If these kids are so hungry, how did they get to be so fat?

Cots in the gymnasium. You get to have your kids home every other weekend. Your only responsibility will be to do the laundry.
