When we decided where to live (or remain) it was with the PRIORITY of placing our kids in a catholic school. They get a great education - and I am confident that they are being taught with the same values that are important to my wife and I. Problematic kids are not tolerated - and they shouldn't be. My wife is a stay at home Mom. These decisions are a huge financial burden that we struggle to find ways to budget. But in the end -- it is one of the best decisions we have ever made and I would encourage EVERYONE to do the same.
As far as the free lunch thing goes --- just another terrible page in the US of situation where laziness is encouraged. Do these parents smoke, have a cell phone, cable tv, internet, drink, nails done, hair colored ?? I'm sure the school could make provisions for SOME type of payment to be made to keep an account current. But someone made the conscious decision to not budget enough money to pay for ANY of their kids school lunch. They kept doing it because they could get away with it ... and now are completely rewarded for it. It disgusts me.
