The families often times COULD get free lunches and breakfasts for their kids if they filled out the paperwork. Unfortunately they would not so the school had to give them the cheese sandwiches. 4951

TheBeyonder : When was the last time you had concern about your next meal , and when you would get it ? When were you in elementry school ? Ever work at the food bank ? I can keep going if you would like
 
@Roll1Stone :
 
Well, let me see. I was on EBT in 2015 after I lost my job, elementary school in the 80's & 90's, and have been to a food bank at least 25 times. Your turn! 4951

The only reason a child is going hungry is because of child abuse. There is absolutely no legitimate reason to go hungry in this country, sorry. 4951

Humble ISD does allow a child to have a negative account balance, but forget at what dollar amount it freezes. It's happen to me a couple times where I forgot to perfund the online account. I get tons of emails when the account is getting low too so really don't have an excuse for letting it get hat close to zero. 4951

School lunch My mom sent me this earlier. She used to be a the manager of an elementary school cafeteria. She would come home very often and saying how she would pay for several kids lunches during the day- very often. At the school she worked at, if the kids didn't have money, they would get a cheese sandwich, or I forgot what exactly. But my mom used to see the kids cry and didn't want the kids to go through that embarrassment of having their food taken away at the lunch line and traded for a sandwich.. so my mom would pay for their lunches. Not sure if this post she sent is true.. but I honestly think that some parents should be held accountable for never giving their kids money or a lunch to eat at school. Just my opinion. (A cheese sandwich is still better than nothing though - it wasn't grilled cheese because it was kept in the fridge. Unless it was an actual ham and cheese sandwich) My mother always gave me a check, and would call the school cafeteria or go up there herself to make sure there was always money in my account. The food wasn't always necessarily good from the cafeteria, so most days I would take my lunch. What do y'all think?
 
@yesi27 :
 
If true is a ******? move! Is that legal? 4951

@HappyDay2016 :
 
Mine got low as DS would not always give the notes to me (was before we all had the internet). Once knew I filled. To say are going to have them in CPS custody is just nonsense. They do not have help needed for ones there already with a true need! 4951

@jthumble : Or could not, due the fact they have problems with reading comprehension. Or overbearing jerk head of household won't allow because they are too "proud" to accept help. 4951

Some kids go home to an empty pantry. What they eat at school is all they get. Saw a lot of that when I taught in Aldine and Liberty. However if kids were given cash, they bough junk from the stop n rob corner store. I did summer school a few years and we actually sent sack lunches home to all kids. On Friday they had grilled cheese( extra fat so it could hold them over the weekend. 4951

@deltadawn : Oh yeah there are a ton of reasons. I just wish the kids could all eat the same. 4951

@yesi27 : Well, back in the day, there wasn't a school lunch program...wait yes there was, you brought you 'school lunch' from home in your metal lunch box including the thermos that usually had milk.
A loaf of bread, $1 with at least 20 slices. A jar of peanut butter, $2. A jar of jelly, $1.50. A big @$$ bag of chips $2.50 and put some in a baggie. Fruit ~$0.25-$0.40.

@TheBeyonder : Facts , 88,740 children , or 1 in 4 pre school aged children who live in Houston , are unsure of their next meal . So tell me why you worked at the food bank if stats are not true ? Better yet if ya got a few minutes on Monday give the food bank a call , we both might learn something 4951

@Roll1Stone :
 
You are spreading disinformation. If kids don't know where their next meal is coming from it's because of the parents, not the lack of food being available. Food stamps, food banks, church's, etc... There is not a lack of food, but a lack of responsible parents! 4951
