Marking the kids who won't be able to eat? How very Josef Mengele of them. Welcome to the new Confederacy.
@TwiHusband We would have qualified for free lunches when I was in school, but my mom refused to apply because they would have needed her yearly income (which was the most personal thing you could ask) and because she remembered the kids who got free lunches were served on a different tray from everyone else which marked all of them as poor. So she scraped up lunch money until we were old enough to get jobs and pay for our own.
@cjcrew My elementary school drafted upper classes to "cashier" during lunch. I HATED that job. Having to tell some kid he or she couldn't have their fucking lunch because they didn't have enough money.
@TwiHusband That would be a horrible job. I don’t even like telling some adult they don’t have enough to buy their beer or cigarettes. I can even imagine the toll that job would have on a child.
