Stylin' you're what I love about FreeRepublic. As I was reading this post, I kept thinking, "someone should post a pick of our soldiers, eating MREs in their foxholes." Lo and behold, I see your post!

There is a lesson here, for these students, if they choose to accept it. There are far worse things in this world than occasionally eating off the floor.

Well, not eating off the floor like my dog’s do, but eating while sitting on the floor.

Thanks...

or, the kids could look at it as good training for becoming “snake eaters”...

Freep On.

“There is a lesson here, for these students, if they choose to accept it. There are far worse things in this world than occasionally eating off the floor.”

Frankly, I think the parents are more concerned about it, than the kids. I suppose if we want to teach our children that the world is a dirty uncomfortable place and they are lucky to have it as well as they do, not a bad lesson to learn BTW, then their might be better ways to teach it.

OTOH, Most people would look at how much they pay for property taxes and think, “With all the money I give them, why does my kid have to sit on the floor to eat lunch?” Seems stupid, but not any more stupid than most of the policies of public schools.

I think the problems with public schools can be summed up with the observation that they are administered by idiots with room temperature IQ’s.
