Esperanza Middle school Stabbing?

[sockgirl77]

Anyway, when I was a kid and forgot my lunch money, I'd go to the school office and they'd give me a chit so I could get lunch, then bring in the money the next day to pay them back.

Don't they do that anymore?

I am pretty sure that they do. I cannot imagine a school letting any child go without eating. :shrug:

who are you to judge...my point of this matter, is, just because ia m rushed in the morning as is everyone else, and because i forgot to give him his lunch money, they should not punish him for that...not to mention, it is against the law..i have done my research. they are at least to give him a pb&j sandwich and milk....also, how does the school know or not that a child might have a medical condition and that not eating is the very best for them. you are not going to sit here and tell me that everyone remembers everything every day. we all forget once in a while, so grow up and stop the name calling.

If you think the word "dunce" is a bad name, then you have a lot of growing up to do. I really wanted to use a more profound word, but thought better of it. Self-restraint, you see.

As a parent, it is your job to ensure that your child is properly nourished, DESPITE your running-around in the morning, your lateness, and your forgetfulness. If your child has a medical condition that makes it necessary for him to eat at regular intervals and specific types of food, then it becomes even more imperative that you either provide the money for your son to purchase breakfast/lunch, or you pack him a lunch.

I certainly wouldn't call the school withholding food from your son as "punishment". It sounds like YOU are punishing HIM by not supplying him the ability to eat by YOUR inattentiveness to the situation.

So there.

Dumbass? Idiot? Ignoramus? Jackass? Any of those do the trick?

i thought this place was for adults, not middle school kids

Yeah, you're an adult, all right. Such an adult that you'd rather blame the school and/or address the school board for something that YOU should take care of yourself.

At least we make sure our children have the chance to eat.

no, they do not do that anymore, i talked to the lunch dept. and the school and they do not give them a thing to eat. my point to all of this is that not everyone perfect and to forget once or twice last i knew is only human

so mature

If I had a problem with the school I would go in and talk to the teacher and/or the Principal. Complaining to the school board is foolish if you have not been in to talk to the school. You would be surprised how caring teachers can be. You would be surprised how many school lunches I bought for hungry kids with my own money when I was teaching. Mature is acting like you care about your kid and not picking a fight over your own forgetfulness.

so let me get this straight...all of you are perfect? all of you never forget anything? a person is only human

I know damn well that if your kid was that damn hungry and he went to the nurse's office or the principal they would have let him eat. I,along with many of us in here, went to Esperanza. They have always had a great staff.

i had talked to the shcool and everything...my son, being new as he was, did not know he could go to the nurse to get something to eat.

She's too busy going to the school board to complain about her own inattentiveness to read your post, Kwillia.

But I read it.

When I forget to fund Boy's lunch account they let it go negative and send me a note.

No, we screw up too. The difference between you and us is that we don't threaten to go to the school board and blame the school for something that is our fault.

yes, i did see your post, and since learning about that, that is what ih ave done.

I'm still trying to find and read this "post" that Kwilla has in here.

Agreed. Hey meh, at no cost, you can set up an account at pay4lunch.com for your child. It will allow you to see the balance in your childs account whether you use the website to put money in the account or not. When I see the account drop below a certain number, I send a check in with my kid the next day. That money will show up in the balance within a day or two and you just watch it all over again. Your kid will never be without lunch again.

I never set it up. But, when Bug runs out of money in her account, they still feed her and send a note home saying what she owes. I send in a check the next day or so. No big deal.

Have you been to the school in person? That will help. Here is my suggestion, everytime you eat lunch, think "I wonder what my son is doing for lunch?" Then make sure you have an acceptable answer before you finish eating.

At 11, he did not know to go to the Office and biatch about not eating? Hell, at 11, I would have pitched a fit. But, I do have issues with whining too much.
