Almost 50 of Moms in this school district believe it is ok to stay home, not go out to work, and allow me the working, taxpaying Mom, to buy their child breakfast/and or lunch every day through the "Free" lunch program. Free for them, because I work to pay for their food. How nice for them! Close Quote
