Well that went well when my back was turned. Back to the thread... IF a child is entitled to FSM, and the school shuts, should they get food provided or not? The decision at Govt is yes.
I know from 30 years' experience, that for some children, the 6 hours in school is the best 6 hours of the day. Where 'whiney' teachers (Marcus too, maybe) are coming from, is that for some pupils, IT IS for more than one meal. As with the best six hours, so it is with a hot meal at midday. Finally, getting on the list for FSM is not a breeze- as is right. Never mind the fecklessness of parents or otherwise, children need to eat.
How good we are or are not with money; or what we think of bad parents, doesn't change that.
CG out!
