Stop. It is one thing to go after the parents, but it is another thing entirely to drag the kids into a discussion about a situation that they have zero control over. And, the fact of the matter is that what we would consider the 'working poor' also are eligible for free or reduced lunches so those children very well could come from families that ARE working and simply still falling below the poverty level. Leave the kids out of it. I don't think anyone is blaming the kids. Just stating the percentage of kids that are getting the free lunch, which means that the family is getting benefits. Nobody is attacking kids. In my area you don't have to be getting benefits to qualify for free/reduced lunches. We technically qualify, but it's because we own a small business (which means we make no money on paper lol)
