This thread reads like a Daily Mail comments section. Good look, guys.

Yes no money for food!
make sure all the kids have a packed lunch
is the best way.

what is that supposed to mean?

I mean yeah, she should be paying for their lunches, but that’s not the fault of the kids, to ‘punish’ the kids and single them out in front of everybody and not feed them a proper meal is cruel and unusual, take it up with the mother, not the kids, awful behaviour from the school

I got the Story first from LBC Live radio
he got it from a local paper.
Schools have to get paid
Times are hard


TS could she not pack a lunch instead,

He is saying we are are all to tough

Its HER fault

nowt to do with the school

The Schools nowdays must get money for Foods
The Mother is the Problem

Exactly, her fault, don’t punish her kids for her behaviour

:umm2:

she punished the kids with her financial neglect

No, she did something and the school decided to lay the repercussions at the feet of the children, they used them as pawns to make a point to their mother, they’re children, they shouldn’t be involved in an establishments battles I’m afraid, the mother is wrong for not paying what she owes, but the school is just as bad for not feeding the kids properly to make a point.

A bunch of supposed adults sneering and jeering about primary school kids being shamed because of their mother's mistake. Pathetic.

The responsibility to look after YOUR kiddies starts and ends with the parents no one else's responsibility

The so called Mother shamed them by going to the press

The only one who shamed the kids is their mother!

She could have made them a sandwich/packed lunch?

:thumbs:

Or paid HER debt

She can pay the debt
Every other parent does


Taking it to the Local newspaper
was wrong of her.

She is a Care Worker with 6 kids
and her phone run out, so she did not get all the updates
which means she now can pay it,
no need to take it to the local newspaper

From a Ch5HD AM debate

It does say that this is a School law, which does allow you to get £10 in debt. You start making exceptions for one, and they all want it.

I know if I was a dinner lady, I'd have give the kids some grub on the sly, would at least put something inside the bread and butter and make it a sandwich. But the mother is the one at fault here, hopefully she made a few bob from the story and settled her debts with the school.

This is a discussion forum. As far as I can see no one's been infracted or even reported for anything that's been said on this thread. No one needs you popping up playing everyone's conscience, TS.

Their mother took this story to the press.... otherwise no one here would be discussing it.

...And then their mother took it to the press. If anyone's shamed those kids it's her.

Case closed.

If anything she’s shamed herself, not her kids
