what’s the problem with carrying your own lunch money?
“what’s the problem with carrying your own lunch money?”
I suppose one answer is security - kids can’t have their lunch money stolen if its in an EFT system. Probably also easier to manage and quicker than handling cash.
I think another reason they’ve done it is so there is no noticeable difference in the lunch line between those who get their school lunch for free, and those whose parents pay for it (except, of course, the welfare kids probably don’t ever have to worry about being denied lunch because their account is empty).
