You know. I can read the arrogance in your statement, and I think that's exactly how the school would respond, with exactly that tone. I think that was your point.

It's terrible that we would respond in such a way, rather than fixing our ways and feeding children a healthy lunch when they get the assisted lunch plan (this is often given to kids that honestly cannot afford other food, and may be their only real meal of the day).

You nailed it. Of course all usual caveats apply. I won't be surprised to find a few excellent schools out there; but, I expect them to be the exception, not the rule. Education in this country is a national disgrace. Have kids? Get yourself on the local school board.
