[QUOTE="Daltron, post: 465728, member: 61885"] My answer would be Yes and No. The public school in the United States that I attended has free/reduced lunches for families with lower income. The way the school made up the money that was lost was to make lunches cost more to students who's parents made above 100,000$ a year which when you live in a double income household that is easily achievable when both parents are working full-time. I think the whole free lunches shouldn't be allowed primarily because of that situation alone. I can feel for the kids who's parents live paycheck to paycheck, which I do believe they should have free lunches if they make below 30,000$ but the school systems should take it out on family's who make more money. Half the time I went to school I never had lunch money I always had to bring my lunch and that was just due to the fact that kids who made lower income were either free or costed below 1.50$. My lunches costed 4.50$ for a semi-okay meal which you can only ask for so much but that price jump is literally ridiculous families cannot justify spending 810$ a year just for lunches that is an outrageous price. I hope you can understand where I am coming from as I was all over the place but I presume all school districts are different but in my state that was my situation. [/QUOTE]
