Reply #29: I don't get the anger [View All]

We do have free lunch if parents apply. My kids now get a cheese sandwich, a piece of fruit and milk on weekends. I think it is actually healthier than processed fried food, french fries and punch. As long as the cafeteria workers do it tactfully and parents are told about applying for free and reduced, then that is okay. I know I can afford it but have failed to send money (or my child pocketed the money) and at least my child was fed. It would be so much worse if the child was turned away. I think the school district should be applauded. They are insuring that no child is turned away because of poverty.
