Lunch lady fired over free lunch.

[HempKat]

I watched a news story about this, there are 3 levels of lunch available depending on income, level 3 is for any child w/o money and no access to the level 1 or 2 programs.

Level 3 is a fast food style burger bun with a single slice of american cheese on it, cold of course. that may satisfy some of a students hunger but is not nutritious as stated in the OP article. So not only is it inadequate as a meal it must also be humiliating to eat in front of classmates, in my estimation a double fail results in a distracted student not keeping up in their lessons.......

Yeah that's wrong, kids will use things like that to judge themselves better or worse then other kids. School lunch should be how most people remember it where everyone got basically the same thing that usually wasn't very tasty and there were things like pastries, cookies, muffins and fruit you could buy if you wanted more then what the school provided.

Fixing the world from what has been done to it by man, is going to take generations.

hempkat's a freemason because fixing humanity would take about five seconds if you surgically removed all of the elements keeping shit down so it can be exploited.

I see this more as the moronic zero tolerance policy schools have adopted

Disabled student suspended for cannabis

Student suspended for pop tart gun

6 year old suspended for sexual harassment

School officials use absolutely no judgment in their decisions, they all follow a little rule book to absolve themselves of any personal responsibility.

Logic and reason are gone.

A free sandwich?

I hope they made that kid scrub pots after school for a week.

When I was in grade school, we would have killed a gym teacher with our bare hands for a free sandwich.

 

[barnyard]

you had sandwiches mrcreosote? we got sprayed with a hose and told to eat the mud!

schools should have their own vegetable garden that the kids help steward so they produce some of their own food

the U.S currently spends 610 BILLION in defense spending...the reality is that we can afford to buy every school kid in the country lunch everyday but our priorities are fucked

Yet, somehow, I don't feel safe.

But I am hungry now, so I'll go make a sandwich.

A cheese sandwich.

By the way, Della Curry, the woman whose actions
we discuss on this thread, seems to be misleading
the public on the full reason for her termination.

She reluctant to disclose the details, says its not relevant.

Fancy that. An online fund has been set up to help her out.
Perhaps that will help her pay for the house she just bought...

Today, a nice lady made me a bacon and cheese sandwich, it was good.

If it was me, i would have added lettuce and tomato but hey, it was a gift.

kind of a negativland "time zones" moment

It's a sad day when feeding a hungry child is considered wrong.

I wonder how many people that say the woman deserved to be fired would flip out if THEIR kid was denied a lunch.

I got mine syndrome. What a sick disease.

 

[Capt.Ahab]

I watched Mrs. Ahab, who is a teacher of a bunch of little 3rd grade sprouts, make her own lunch this morning along with two extras. She does this often, particularly on Mondays. Plenty of parents expecting the system to take care of their kids. Mondays are usually the worst day in this aspect. Maybe the parents are suffering from hangovers or something.
What gets me is that the food program at school is run by a private company. They expect the kid's accounts to be kept up to date by the parents. Some over-pay for the year and if that money is not used by the children before the school year ends the money is kept by the company. Why is that money not rolled over into the next year to help pay for the kids who havent money for lunch? Meanwhile , Mrs. Ahab says plenty of food is thrown away every day. A lot of it is simply disliked by the kids and not eaten. Kinda fucked up to deny a kid lunch and then throw away food that could be given to them. Sad. I dont get it. Would these people turn away a hungry child if they showed up at their door at home?

Is it against the rules?

 

[Bean_UnderTaker]

i remember way back during my senor year i forgot my money and they didnt let us get a damn thing so I stole a whole pizza and i took on piece and gave to the table of chicks that sat near my table the shit was a Win-Win lol

they probably would have threw the shit away anyways lol but getting back to the topic as much of a hardcore capitalist i am i support her i mean there in first grade and they don't know any better plus its one less kid that bullies for lunch money imo

 

[LEF]

Hardcore capitalist ? Why ?

 

[Stoner4Life]

there's no such thing as a free lunch.......

 

[Bean_UnderTaker]

Hardcore capitalist ? Why ?

hahaha well if i grew an apple tree and i had all these apples after i planted the seed and looked after it while it was just a youngin then i reckon its my apples and i believe that not a damn person should get those apples since i was the one that worked for them (i aint that extreme) but reckon that them apples was you're money im sure you wouldn't want to give your money away after you worked your ass off for it just for it to be given to someone who's too good to work (minus people with disabilities and retired people)

to simplify it even further capitalism: whats mine is mine and whats your's is your's

The problem with capitalism though is that many who stand by it think that the taxes they pay is still their money. I mean how many times have you heard people say things like "not with my tax money"? The thing is it isn't theirs the second they pay it to the government. They didn't do the work of calculating, levying and collecting the taxes so what makes them think they still have claim to it after they pay it? Once paid it's the Government's tax money to do with as they see fit. If you don't like what they do with it then vote them out of office the next chance you get. If you don't the politicians will just see that as a mandate from the masses to keep doing things the same way.

your right but there's nothing anyone can do about that except rebel but any politician would make taxes mandatory plus i reckon it's easier to increase taxes then decrease spending but then again the government doesn't make much from anything else

Well that's because were in a capitalist government. They allow industry to be privately owned and run. Other countries take certain industries and nationalize it (oil is probably the most common example). People generally end up favoring it because if it's profitable then there's less or no need for taxes, plus whatever it is it generally gets sold much cheaper to the citizens then it does to foreign customers that it gets exported to. That's why people in Iran might enjoy gas that's less then $1 per gallon while everywhere Iranian oil is exported to people pay much more for the gas made from it.
