Given the amount of children we have seen starved to death by their so-called parents I'm willing to pay for any child to get at least one meal a day out of my taxes regardless of how much their parents earn.

in reply to Neil Darlow :gotosocial: :silverblue: :xmpp: • •Interestingly, I've been saying for years that schools should provide at least one hot meal a day for free for all pupils. I'm fairly confident those parents who can afford to contribute would even if it was to pay for another child's meal.
For me, it's not about providing a "Freebie" it's about ensuring there's not another bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmโฆ

We looked at this in a local primary school I was a governor of a few years ago. We tried to find funding for a lunch for all pupils. The evidence was that attainment and health was improved by doing this. However we could not get it done.
The issue was not around cost as it actually would not have been too costly. However we had issues finding a specific budget pot that could be used to fund it.

in reply to Kigelia • •The sensible idea would be to have a "Meal Club" account. The only issue I see with that is if the account accrues too much money, some councillor or MP will try to get their grubby hands on it rather than letting the school fund a Christmas dinner or something extra.
The only other thought I had was there would be scum out there that would stop feeding their kids: "You had something at Breakfast Club, didn't you?"
