Esperanza Middle school Stabbing?

[Pete]

Oh, I pretty much ignored the gangbag pile on bunch so I thought you were mad at me for saying middle schoolers are primarily responsible for whether or not they get fed on any given day.

No not at all. I did hate the "you have a rude awakening" bullchit. I have seen and endured bullchit most cannot even fathom and raised a kid by myself for over 9 years so I believe it a tad presumptive for anyone to assume I am short sighted and have any type of awakening ahead.

I totally understand the concept of a graduated schedule of personal responsibility. I also understand that "shiat happens".

that was one of the points i was trying to make earlier too...there may be some lunch ladies that let them slide and let them eat, but i know there are a couple that won't let you get away with it.

I'm in Charles county but I was told it was the policy of all our schools that in the case of forgotten money you get the sandwich. Maybe you should call and ask about that?

 

[meangirl]

OMG!!! Another unfit parent!!! The world is FULL of them!

And she's a SAH mom to boot...

Like, what else do I have to do all day right??

 

[Pete]

I forgot my lunch. Will you buy me a pizza?

If Chasey is busy I wont buy you lunch but you can go with me and watch me eat lunch. It will build character

Oh bull####.

Socki wanted to get all high and mighty and bust on someone else to make herself feel like she was better. Merely bringing her back to reality.

I do not need to bust on someone to make myself feel like I am better. I know that I take care of my children. I know that I do it well. TYVM.

no gubbermint cheese sammich?

Right. He didn't tell me they offered or that he refused it though. Typical boy. What really riled me up though is I have two kids with lunch accts there and they wouldn't let him use his brothers acct. Anyway, they were very nice but let me know a cheese sandwich is IT if you (me/them) forget their lunch money.

They should make it so you have a family account, seems like it'd be less paperwork and you wouldnt have to send in 2 checks.

Socki doesn't have to make herself feel like shes better, she is better. Socki is awesome and amazing, shes my hero.

Well, there's a rousing endorsement.

Shes an awesome mom! Better than at least a few I can think of.

A few years ago I had 3 accts all at the same school. They don't do a family account that I know of.

Thats stupid though, they should. It's not like one of the kids is gonna eat 3 times a day and leave no money for the others or something Just seems like it'd be less work for them to have one account per family. I wish I got paid to think for them :sigh:

IMO, that is a good mindset for elementary school, but not for middle school and up. Think of it from the lunch lady's perspective having to deal with an entire school full of pre-teens. At that age, you give them an inch and they naturally take a mile. I see the consequence of having to do without to be incentive to remember the next time. We aren't talking about just your kid forgetting. I see it as the school setting a standard and sticking to it, thus putting the responsiblity where it belongs, on the kid and secondarily on the kid's parent. I don't want to see my kid go without, but I agree with the policy. Again, I'm talking middle school and up.

Agreed.
And for any parent of a future high schooler, let it be known they will not comp your meal or let you go into negative balance at Chopticon. If you want to eat you need money.
To be honest most of those kids walk around with more money in their pockets than I do.

Pete says that is not a word. I like it and think I will use it more

In high school, we used to sell our lunch tickets for smokes or a nickel bag.
