I can understand why schools in impoverished neighborhoods would offer this to their students, but students in wealthier neighborhoods definitely do not need it.  By offering it to all students in every school, it's just another government overkill.

When I lived in Florida my sons school had this program in his elementary school each morning and this was 4 years ago. Each morning the kids were fed in the cafeteria.  Now the funny part about this program and I never understood why it was at his school as his school was a neighborhood school where the homes sold for $200,000.00 to over $1,000,000.00, so these people could definitely afford to feed their kids breakfast yet it was offered for free each day by the school system.  The kids looked at it as more of a social time to be with their friends and enjoyed it a lot. ]]> Thu, 10 Jul 2008 06:38:00 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=462&PID=1545&title=all-kids-will-eat-breakfast#1545 All Kids Will Eat Breakfast : Spider It's not a teachers... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=462&PID=1544&title=all-kids-will-eat-breakfast#1544 Author: Vivian Moon

Spider
It's not a teachers job to feed her students breakfast in the morning. 
The parents need to be RESPONSIBLE for their children.
They need to get up and feed their children breakfast and make sure their homework is completed before they go to school.
If the children are coming to school hungry their parents need to be called to discuss the problem.

I believe the meal will take place in the classroom during normal school hours, andnot separately/before the sdtart of the school day.  Supposedly it is too time-consuming to take place in the cafeteria.I don't think the teachers are happy about this, since they become responsible for cleaning the mess. Someone please correct me if I don't have my facts straight.
 
Why does our govt. feel the need to over-provide?
The parents/guardians must accept the responsibilty to prepare their children for schooling, which includes, proper nutrition,clothing, mentoring and adequate rest.

Journal- July 9 story- Money from state and federal funds will be used to reimburse the school districts to feed breakfast to ALL students, because "a good breakfast makes for good learners". I can understand the need for offering a free breakfast, using taxpayer money, to feed a disadvantaged student. However, I am having a problem with feeding everyone's kid, knowing the difficulty with finding money for the schools.How many kids will actually take advantage of this? Will this extra cost of providing a free breakfast really help students learn or is this just a supposition on the part of the Food Research and Action Center? What is the evidence of credibility to these claims and just who is this " Food Research and Action Center"? This is, no doubt, alot of taxpayer money being used for a program that may or may not be effective.Should we just take this verbatim or should we question taxpayer expenditures like this? It's your tax money they're spending.]]> Wed, 09 Jul 2008 08:00:35 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=462&PID=1535&title=all-kids-will-eat-breakfast#1535
