1st off, I am not making fun of or criticizing anybody who gets social services. I know many people who do and I am best friends with.
2nd here is what I think: when I was in elementary school, to be on free lunch was the most embarassing thing, it was a sign of being poor, and you were often called poor. Now I do not live in a rich or poor area, my town is right in the middle, but the free lunch rate at our high school is 58%. But what i wonder about is I see many kids on free lunch wearing $120 Air Force Ones or $80 basketball jerseys or sweaters. I am wondering what is happening. I am not criticizing anyone, but I believe soon, school lunches will be paid for by taxpayers, would you agree?
and does the expense from the free lunches come out of Local Taxes, State Taxes, or by raising the lunch cost for everybody else
I am doing a report in my economics class about the various social services, and why they need reforms.
