They really push it here. I’ve had them tell me in the past to just fill out the form even if I think we don’t qualify. I can read. I know we don’t qualify and I wouldn’t do it even if we did!!! That certainly isn’t the norm though in these parts.
They want as much data on everyone as possible. Just like the college FAFSA. You MUST fill it out even if you don't qualify for any aid.
I had a running battle with the school here over that darn free lunch form. It was the school’s policy for everyone to fill it out. I refused, I told them I was not asking for it, so it was none of their business how much money we made. My battle with them went on for years...finally they decided to leave me alone. I got very angry, some years they would have an ice cream party or something for the class that got all their forms in first. Trying to use peer pressure on the kids, but my kids knew I would not return the form.
