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.

@freemo @zleap
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
@freemo @zleap i think i was literally told the supply chain provideth so nobody needs to learn things like how to remain alive because the obviously they will just take their government diseducation and become an administrative assistant and always buy their food from the bread lord forever.

@icedquinn

To be fair even if the supply chain completely collapsed right now and super markets were empty most people with survival skills would still just die. There would never be enough land to support hunter and gatherers or even personal gardens and still expect everyone to get fed.

That said I think survival skills are good more from a sense that it enables people to go on adventures and those are very important for adults to do IMO
