    Orphan crushing machine material

    In the UK all primary school students and all students who can’t afford it get free school meals.

      Poor kids in the US can get free school lunches, but this requires paperwork by the parents, puts stigma on the kid, and that food isn’t enough to make up for the kid getting no breakfast, no snack, maybe no dinner.

      It really is shameful.

    It’s wholesome, yes, but they should’ve been helped by the school system instead of one of their peers. The kid shouldn’t have had to do anything.

      I’m so happy to be in a state with universal free lunch so my kid’s school underground markets can center around funny things and junk food lmao

      But fuck were the selfish people coming out of the woodwork on nextdoor for it when it was time to vote on a tax increase (only on the “very well off” tax brackets mind you) to support it, “WhAt iF a RiCh KiD GeTs fReE FoOd”
