Seemed to me like 90%+ of the people in my Elementary school got free or reduced priced lunch, and over 50% in MS and HS got the same thing.

I had to pay full price for my lunches. How about the rest of you, did you get free lunch?


Op made the same thread a few months ago. Here.

Free lunch from elementary to high school. Went through the entire public school system from elementary to college. All medical expenses free from elementary to college. All paid for by tax. America, fuck yeah.
 
I got reduced lunch all the way through HS. I only had to pay .40..which seemed to be about what the meals they were serving us were worth.

My mom made "too much" money for us to qualify free lunch but somehow we qualified for reduced lunch.
 
What is interesting is at my HS their was a special line for people who received free or reduced price lunches. So you could tell whose family was poor, since they got into the free lunch line.

I went to what would politely be called a "diverse" high school, 55% Latino, 23% African American, 11% Asian, and about 9% white (with 2% being "other").

Pretty much 3/4 of the school were free or reduced lunch.

This is true, but the taxpayer probably got billed $10 each.

Ah no; they cost very little. Average was less than $3 a meal last time I looked.
Use to be they cooked a lot but cutting cost meant more and more processed foods. So less staff since all that was required was open a box and nuke it and less food kids ate.

Many districts are trying to squeeze it as best they can since many kids would not eat most of what was served. But cost keep rising.
 
When/where I went to school everyone who chose to eat school lunch got at least a reduced price lunch. Some got free lunch. It was a middle class and working class town. For subsidized lunches there was no income requirement.
 
Half the kids i knew getting free or reduced lunch were dropped off and picked up at school each day by their mother, in a shinny newish benz or similar luxury car.

The system is (was?) broken.
