That might be the way your world works...but do you notice in that world the welfare rolls don't go down and poverty remains multi-generational? And I'm betting you squawk about it big-time.

So instead of feeding the children and contacting their parents they wasted items that could have been eaten? Talk about a lack of regard for what's going on in the world. Half the people on this planet are starving and they're throwing away food to set an example, what a joke.
I want to take every adult involved in this and crack there heads together. Stupidity at its best.

That's pretty horrible.
Kids should not be held accountable for what their parents do. Let alone be singled out like that in front of their classmates.
My goodness, I can imagine how belittled they must have felt. Hell, raise my taxes to cover the cost of their lunches if you have to but don't treat them like second rate citizens.

And while you're at it crack the parents heads together also, for not keeping enough money in their kids accounts.
If they can't afford then they should go on the Free Lunch Program.

Actually study after study has shown that the single biggest factor in student success is parental participation and interest in their student's life.
Sending Johnny to school and expecting the school to take up the slack by default kind of shows the level of participation here, ja?

I give ( or used to, i'm retired) about 35-50% of my income in taxes. Be in local, provincial, federal, sales tax, HST, unemployment insurance, retirement savings tax etc..
Considering how much actual dollar value cash I've provided, just myself to the government over the last 35 years or so, yeah, I do expect them to spend 8 hours, educating and taking care of my child.
Otherwise they can pay for the private tutor to come to my home and teach my kids for the equivalent period of time. Which ever they prefer.
Forgive me for expecting high quality for a service that is VERY expensive. Not only to me, but all Canadians.
