Shelby asked, Should we be required to provide universal free lunch to all students?
I really think putting a universal free lunch for students into effect in public schools would be a huge mistake. It would be an incredibly expensive venture, considering how many kids are in the public education system. In order to do that, taxes would have to be raised—something that nobody wants in today’s economy. Yes, it is true that some kids can’t afford to buy lunch and don’t eat during the day because of it. That is unfortunate. But I think a better idea would be to try and set up some sort of need-based aid for those kids.
Besides, if lunch were being provided to students for free every day, the food would suck because they’d be buying and making cheap things.
Question in response: Should schools be serving only nutritional food, or merely providing a nutritional option along with others that are not as healthy?
