Sure... if the system was flush with all the items required to deliver a strong educational program. And sure... if the quality of the food was better than one might find in Unsung's underground bunker.
Pointing to the failings of a school lunch program sure takes the pressure off things like poor parenting, lack of strong social programs, or poor wealth distribution (among many others); however, schools cannot expect to fix the every failing of a society that is need of repair.
The fact that kids are showing up to schools without quality nutrition does not indicate a school system failure. It reveals a societal failure.
The band aid solution people are asking for is in place at the local levels. Just like many other areas of need, schools are doing their best to try and deal with the problems they face with what they have. Is it ideal? No. Of course not. But has the public made an investment where they should expect any type of return they can brag about? Hardly."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

You haven't said anything egregious. I'm not sure why you're being attacked to be honest. I agree that a lunch program should not be a staple of the school system. Saying this, I do feel that schools do need to be sensitive to some kids' needs and provide for them. I haven't heard you say anything contrary to this."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

The thinking around here is: if you are against mandatory vegetables at lunch you are against feeding children which makes you a nazi.
Yes we are talking about food but don’t you dare bring up that your children are in good shape and get plenty of exercise because school is meant for education!!!
