My wife works in a high school in the office. She is very good with kids that have emotional and learning problems. She told me a story recently of a kid that just would not calm down for anyone and was just flat out freaking out. She finally got involved and was able to get the kid to tell her what was wrong. This boy is one that his parents aren’t on free and reduced lunches. so if he doesn’t pay he gets only a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They can afford to pay but just won’t.
The boy had pretty bad emotional problems and I can see why from some of what she told me. This whole instance came down to he just wanted an ice cream cone and no one would help him. My wife told him it cant be all the time but when he wants something extra for lunch to make sure he tells the lunch lady to put it on our account. The whole problem was the kid wanted something simple and his parents are pieces of crap for not paying for lunch. He was eating peanut butter and jelly every day.
this was just one instance. My wife sees things that will make you want to give up your next 10 meals simply because people just don’t care about their kids.
