Looks to me like the original poster has gotten lots of support against the school.
Sorry, but I do not agree. I did not read all the notes, but I read the original angry post seeking assistance plus several supportive types of responses.
My wife and I raised five children to adult age. The schools had no responsibility to feed them unless they came through the line with money (yeah, before online accounting).
Since you did not indicate the age of the child in the original post, I have to assume he is below the age that he could reasonably be held responsible for managing his lunch money. That only leaves two people who both know they have that responsibility, you and your wife. Both of you failed in your responsibilities and want someone to blame besides yourselves. Sorry, I'll pass on providing any sobbing support. My kids tried that kind of trick when they failed to meet their responsibilities as young men and women ( it didn't work then either).
You muffed it, be an adult and apologize to your son. Then go back and apologize to the falsely blamed school system.
Pay the food bill annually if you can't manage it any closer than that.
I apologize in advance to all the bleeding hearts who take offense at this type of response. It is NOT intended to be hateful in any way. It is an attempt to shed another light on the subject.
One of making each person responsible for his or her actions or inactions, rather than blaming everything on someone else. If the kid is older than ten he should have the responsiblity for himself, in my opinion. Yes, the parents would have to provide the money, but the kid should manage it or do without, it's called learning responsibilty.
Now that there's a new focus on the responses, I'll just sit back and read.......
Have a great day!
and this is the post he found first to reply too?
