It's nothing even close to being acceptable.

But again, surely you agree there must be a cutoff point somewhere? Or parents who don't want to send in packed lunches, but also don't want to pay for dinners..can just continually send the kids in with nothing and know the school will pick up the bill else the school is nasty and whatnot? And yes, some parents really are that awful unfortunately :S
