Because they don't eat at school it assumed they don't eat? Hint: some of us do feed our kids.
So, are parents supposed to be responsible for ANYTHING?
Just damn.
If these publik indoctinatocrats had their way, a child would be taken away from their parents at 5 years old to be housed, fed, medicated, and totally indoctrinated according to the dictates of their "professional organization" (read union).
Starting in September, our oldest began 10th grade, after homescool all the way til this. He alternates between bacon / toast (a la Dad) and a bowl of sugar bomb cereal and whatever else he can scarf.
The boy is as healthy as can be, At 16 he is 6'2"160#. Has had very little sick spells
This is pure leftist thinking. A long time ago, my mother taught me this when young white college-trained (leftist) teacher began to come into black elementary schools (official segregation was ending). They ALWAYS thought the kids were hungry or something. My mom said, "You can't teach a child if you pity them. They may be eating the wrong things or at strange hours, but they are not coming to school hungry." These same misguided people are with us today. And make no mistake, the ones who put them up to this want to make all of slaves. They want to control everything you do, from what you eat, how much you eat, to how many times you can flush a toilet. Never be afraid to confront these people. Some are well-meaning but misinformed. Others want you on your knees in front of them.
If the school cafeteria food I've seen (and smelled) is any indication, I'm surprised it's that high. And to equate school food with nutrition; well, if that isn't a stretch, I don't know what is. Why is it that school officals think that all parents are deadbeats? Oh wait a minute, it's Auburn...
"School policies on eating in classrooms also may have to be revisited, he added."
Well, when I was a youngster (admittedly a long time ago) we always ate our lunch at our desks in school. A metal milk basket full of fresh cold milk cartons was brought to the room, and the teacher handed out the milk, and supervised the class.
All of us brought lunch from home, too. There were no school lunches provided. I would assume that today, a nutritious bag lunch could be provided by the school for those kids with parents too lazy to make a lunch.
This just can't be that hard a problem to solve, folks.
When the schools started taking on the task of solving societies problems rather than teaching kids, the whole system went to hell.
However did we survive our childhood when we had to eat breakfast at HOME before going to school. Where the heck are the parents?! Yes, I know the answer, and the answer isn't good.
There's a brilliant statement. If they aren't eating at home, they aren't eating at school (since 90% don't), and they go nowhere else in between, where else could they eat?
I find it amusing when educrats talk about kids needing hot breakfast and hot lunch. I've packed a sack lunch since I was in college, and eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast. My son has done the same all through school. Neither of us is going hungry, trust me.
Another question -- if someone signs up for free breakfast & lunch are their food stamps reduced? After all, there is less of a need for food.
