last 2 paragraphs;

Kerry Krepps, a retiree in Kansas City, Mo., has seen the lasting effects of lunch shaming. Her adult son refuses to eat peanut butter because it reminds him of middle school in western Minneapolis, when students with debt were sent to a table to make peanut butter sandwiches.
?The humiliation has persisted for 20 years,? she said. ?It shows how lasting these experiences can be.?



and now we have a 30 year old snowflake.

as my dad would say, there's starving people in China who would love to have a PB samich[:)]

    From the pictures neither look like they went hungry.

    At my kids school they send text messages and emails to parents.

    1) ensures actual delivery as children are often forgetful to give school parents to parents and adults often have tjoer phones with them all the time.

    2) saved money on paper that could otherwise be used for actual educational purposes!

    I feel bad for the kids, I really do....but the only thing that's going to happen if parents aren't required to pay is that they are going to stop paying.

    I can count, on one hand, the amount of school lunches I bought throughout my 13 years of education. Sure as hell, no one else bought me any, either.

    I went through a lot of brown paper bags though. Ate a lot of PB&J, too......handmade at home by my loving Mother.

    I do not remember feeling ashamed.

    I ate a school prepared lunch maybe 2 times a week. We paid before we went through the line. I think it was 35 cents in grade school and maybe 55 cents in HS. I usually just brought my chow and bought a milk for 10 cents in the dining area.

    I actually have memories of happiness of those ole school days!

    Where my brown bag lunch sat in a hot locker for hours and when opened in the cafeteria and unwrapping that steaming bologna sandwich....oh what bliss![:p]

    Some days it would be tuna & mayo which kind of got soggy and had to be eaten in gobs and pieces.

    I must have been raised different because I was always THANKFUL for such fine fare!

    We have in this country a whole class culture that expect free stuff. I'll attempt to post a topic I received via e-mail from a pal. While I have mixed feeling about the kids, they are being taught to follow in their parents footsteps.
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    If that kid was scarred for 20 years, I wonder if he lets his kid's lunch fund go to zero?

    I fully agree that if the parents don't pay, let the kids go hungry - or make them, oh no! eat PB sandwiches.

    Something has to make these freeloaders quit.

    If they truly rate free food, then the parents should get on the ball and make sure that the kid has a "free food card" or whatever...

    Nothing will change until we stop giving stuff away because others aren't responsible...

    People that let the past impact their futures are doomed to not have one worth a tinkers-damm. There is a HUGE difference between a little embarrassment as a child and abuse. Eating a PBJ sounds like a good lunch, I had it many times.

    The 30 year old is doomed until somebody slaps the "I feel so sorry for MYSELF" out of him.

    My 51 year old brother still lets minor issues with his childhood impact his life today. I have told him straight out it was his smoking dope from 11 years old to early 20's that fried his brain circuitry and stifled adult thought processes.

    Ya just can't fix stupid.
