Should students receiving free lunch be entitled to purchasing food from snackline?
My answer Hellz no!
It all started this school year 2001-2002. My school district has alot more free and reduced lunch kids enrolling. The regular lunch price hiked up by 25cents, food quality went down by half, and selection went down to 1/4. The rumor is those free lunch kids are using up district's money and the district must charge us more and drop the food quality and selections to compensate for the loss. I don't know the validity of the rumor, though I find it quite believable. Our school keep track of all lunch purchases, so they can keep track of sales and see whose already bought lunch already. Usually we put money in the account and everytime you buy something, it is deducted from your account. You can choose to pay with cash, but you can't go past the check out without scanning your ID card. Reduced and free lunch kids are already tagged in the computer.
The several computers used in cafeteria are hooked up to a "lunch server" by LAN.
You have to pay full price at snackline regardless of who you are and I see free lunch or reduced lunch kids buying at snack line all the time. Given that the school has an excellent ability to track student purchases, should free lunch kids not be allowed to purchase junk food from snackline since having that kind of money means he/she can certainly PAY FOR THEIR OWN DAMN LUNCH? We already have to scan our ID card even on snackline, so it shouldn't be too hard for the cafeteria to deny snackline purchase to free lunch kids.
If the school didn't have the computerized tracking system, adding one would be rather hard. Seeing that we already have one, imposing restrictions should be strokes of keyboard at the server.
I don't think free lunch kids should be allowed to spend their money on junk food as long as they receive free lunch, well at the very least, their snack purchase shall be denied until they have paid for their lunch in whole amount that day.
What do you think?
Info: lunch costs regular studnet $2.25, up from $2.00 last year. Reduced lunch kids get it for 50cents, free lunch kid well... don't pay anything, yet are currently allowed to blow their money on pop machines and snack line robbing the district of $2.25 a day.
There are only a handful of students who gets free or reduced lunch here. Most of the problems are in ghetto schools thats on other side of the city.
GHETTO SCHOOLS are taking our reserve

It costs me $200 to retake a semester course at an off-campus site if I fail a class in school.
Reduced lunch kids are entilted to taking the same courses for $50 each even though its their own damn fault they failed the class(just as its my fault I failed my English class soph year). Consideraing its their neglect that lead them to fail the course, it doesn't make sense they are entitled to take the course for a less cost at OUR COST. The cost must be absorbed by the tax payers wealthier than them. Why does my school allow reduced lunch kids to buy stuff at snack lines(at the same cost as everyone else) when they could be spending that money on their lunch so the district doesn't have to absorb their lunch cost?!
In addition to that, I have to put up with those kids... Since they bring in less revenue for the system, that leads to even higher students per teacher ratio.
30kids taking night class. 15 students paying $200 each adds up to $3,000. 15 "failed at their fault, but entitled to taking for less kids" pays $50 each adds up to $750. I believe this is majorly responsible for such a large class at night school. If they pay the full price, the school would get $2,250 more. Enough to split the class into two 15 students per teacher class. Many of the poor students are responsible(even some disitrct statistics shows higher discipline rate among reduced/free meal high skool kids) for class disruption, over crowding the classroom and taking away teachers attention from kids that actually pay for the class cost in whole.
Their crowding of my personal space, nuisane disruptive behavior, incompetant attitude in group project are affecting my education quality!.
