Headteacher refuses to feed children who are ‘more than a penny in debt to school’
Pupils whose meal accounts are more than a penny in debt at a school will be left without food at lunchtime.

The severe warning was issued in a letter to parents sent by Neil Foden – the strategic head of Ysgol Dyffryn Nantlle in Penygroes, Gwynedd – as part of an approach recommended by the local council.

@zleap the school i went to as a child would take your order, see your account was negative, give you a peanut butter sandwich and still charge you full price for the original order.

i have no idea what the theory was behind this because it was also the only way to get a peanut butter sandwich so it basically became a poverty penalty food.

@icedquinn fast forward to 2021 if someone has a peanut allergy what would happen.

quinn: school is useless they should just teach survival skills

everyone else: quinn no schools are for CuLtUrInG

[later]

:blobcatonfire: what do we do about starving kids!!!
:blobcatquinn: stop teaching them about whites bad and teach them how to skin a fish and grow a potato?
:blobcatonfire: no, bad

@icedquinn @freemo

We need people with skills for the future, computing, engineering , sciences etc etc so we can really solve the problems of the future.

But we also need people with practical skills to build stuff, we need people to care for others at all levels

@zleap @freemo yea so actually fun story i learned nothing at public school that accomplished any of those things you are talking about.

i learned algebra from myself and programming from myself and all school ever did was destroy the will to live and be a minimum security prison that literally physically assaulted me.

burn it down kill them burn the corpses salt the earth and replace pls.

@icedquinn

It is great you learned those things for yourself, and it does perhaps speak to the ineffectual nature of how we teach (thus why I call for reform on how we teach).

That said, not everyone is you and many people learned a lot of base knowledge from school they wouldnt have learned otherwise for any number of reasons.

> not everyone is quinn
this is why society is fucked ngl

@icedquinn

That is true, A society exclusively filled with quinns would not have these problems :)

@zleap

I was horrible in math class yet it wasn't until watching Miller Puckette's lectures on PureDATA that I was simply preferring to have the text-book follow me instead of following the book.
Alright. After reading the Onion the past few months I must admit.

I am forming a micro-nation /break-away society .
