I taught in a school, for years, that had free breakfast, free lunch and free afternoon milk. It was a walk-in school. The kids stopped at the local 7 - 11 and bought candy soda etc., on their way to school. They had money for all sorts of things, just not their lunch. I remember a fellow teacher saying, "Pretty soon we'll be sending doggie bags home for their dinner." Not very long ago I read that a school district was sending home food, with the students. When is enough enough?
