I am really starting to realize my age. I went to public school, my two children went to public school. Before school, we ate breakfast, at home. For lunch we ate in the school cafeteria. We had a choice, what ever was on the school menu, or a sack lunch, from home. Either with milk, or water.

There were no vending machines, no breakfast was served at school (free or otherwise), no free lunches, no carbonated drinks. Why do children, in school for 6 to 7 hours need snacks and sodas, on top of their free breakfast, and free lunch? It sure isn't to help them learn.

For god sake, stop pampering these kids, and require that they, not only attend class, but the learn, as well.
