Because you legally mandated that the kid be there?
Going to school isn't like going to work.
The kid isn't making money by going to school. He's avoiding getting his parents sent to jail.
Even jail has free food.

If you don't want to pay for a kid's lunch, then don't force them to be there in the first place. Simple as.

The laws just require that children be sent to schools. Due to the requirement they provide public schools, paid for by regular tax money and depending on your state paid for by the taxes on the lottery, but that doesn't prevent private institutions from opening as long as they can meet state standards and in some areas you also have charter schools which are the bastard half way version between the two where they get government money but get to be halfway free of the public school requirements like a private school.

I think Bush 2 ran partly on the platform of taking money from public schools to give to private schools back in the day. But the thing about private schools is supposed to be that they are free from a lot of the regulations that public schools have to deal with, which is why religions set them up sometimes. Though some public schools still let kids go off to Mormon shit in my area and give them high school credits toward graduation for it.

They have shit pay but they get good benefits and they are hard to fire when they're bad at their jobs which contributes to the low quality schooling in many areas.

We only had lunch in elementary/middle school (we had them in the same building) although it was absolutely disgusting so I just had my mum make me sandwiches. They did serve chocolate milk (and strawberry one too) duting the "tea break" (basically you could get a cup of tea during the first break in the morning) for some time though.

In high school we didn't even have lunch as far I know. We had a snack shop but I never used it, the lines were too long, so I also just brought in sandwiches which my mum made for me. The only food I would buy in HS was coffee from one the machines.

My school served the same kind of stuff as fast food places, and at the same price, but it was of lower quality. Think supermarket-tier frozen pizzas and frozen fries. It was a rip-off and most kids either brought their own lunches or left school to go to real fast food restaurants.

It's more like the cheap stuff a poor parent working long shifts would make for their kids. Cheap beef patties, cheap chicken, low quality french fries, low quality bread, some lettuce cleverly disguised as a salad bar, prepackaged sandwiches, frozen pizza, frozen vegetables, instant mashed potatoes with frozen gravy, fruit cups, boxed lasagna, and the like in poor urban areas. Rural areas will tend to have one or two things that are actually fresh or of decent quality alongside some of the same things poor urban areas get. Higher income urban areas get things that are fancy-ish but still a bit cheap, though of undeniably higher quality than poor urban areas, and often have a lot of choice including the ability to just buy packaged things from a school ran store or vending machines with the occasional private business allowed to sell things on campus as well. The middle income areas, often with some level of rural and of urban to them, get a mix of everything. My high school (graduated in 2010) for example had the cheap food prepaid by the cafeteria staff that cost about $20 a month for one student who didn't quality for the discounted or free lunch programs, had a school store with mid to low quality products, had vending machines for sodas, milk, water, juice, and cheese, had a hotdog/knockoff Asian/knockoff Mexican food cart, and once a week had a Domino's Pizza set up selling small pepperoni pizzas and bread sticks, though if you had a car and driver's license you could go out to get something and if you were Mormon you could use your seminary class period to stop along the way and get whatever trash Mormons eat.

All the pay goes to "administrators" inside the school district. In many cases there are as many "admins" as actual teachers in a district. They do nothing and often collect up to six figures and million dollar pensions, while actual teachers get shafted.

But you see the teachers don't protest all that much. A few years of hell teaching and either they get burned out and quit or become one of the "admins" themselves, usually through networking/nepotism. Its all a big racket, and virtually every school district in America works this way.

What's wrong with bagged milk? Have yet to see an argument against it.
You get a little plastic holder that costs $2 and lasts you for life. Then when you buy a gallon of milk it comes in 3 separate bags, so it stays fresh vs. a gallon plastic jug which is exposed to air upon opening.
Seems like a better system. The bottles and cardboard cartons are available too if you don't go through as much milk.

Americans get free school lunches if the kid's family falls below a certain income threshold. Any stories you see about 'lunch debt' are about families that make enough money to pay for their kid's lunch, but they choose not to. Then those fucking deadbeats go on social media and cry about getting a bill for the food their kid ate.

It's all pretty fucking stupid. If those families were actually poor, then their kid would get free food. But they aren't poor, they just don't want to spend money feeding their kid. Pathetic.
