Summary: Matt Antignolo has been working in schools for many years and continuously sees children struggling to pay for their lunches. Research shows that 76% of school districts have students in lunch debt. Many lunch ladies have tried to help and pay for their lunches but have been fired or resigned in response. New Mexico has recently banned lunch shaming and many hope Texas will soon follow. Debt continues to rise and more schools are wondering how to solve the problem. Many GoFundMe accounts have been made to help students pay off the debt. However that is only a temporary solution.
Analysis: I think this article is very sad because every child deserves to have a healthy lunch and not have to worry about how much debt they're going into. Hopefully they can make better food all around or make all lunch 100% as it is as btwhspva. This is similar to the New Deal programs in that many things could not get paid for after the depression and they had to find a way to do it anyway. There will be a way to pay for these lunches eventually just as the New Deal programs did. All that we can do now is help the most we can.

This is so unfortunate! I feel like everyone deserves a free lunch and we may sometimes take advantage of the free lunch that we receive at Booker T.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of ISD students dont appreciate the free food that is now provided for us. I also like your synthesis.
ReplyDeleteFree lunches are an advantage in which many take for granted as seen not everyone gets the opportunity we do at our school.
