    I think there is nothing you can do about individuals hired that make a bad choice.... all you can be judged on is how you handle it afterwards and strive to hire better in the future. But that's no garantee.


    if you have a problem with how the cafeteria handled the situation fine. But the principal acted on it as soon as he was made aware.



    Possibly.... but the entire "I didn't get the note" I'm calling BS on. I don't have to have the bank call me to know I'm in the negative and shouldn't keep writing checks.... and all we have to go on is the man's word, a man that obviously has bias in this story.

    We don't know why the note didn't get home... kid didn't take it home, forgot it in the folder dad doesn't check nightly, tried to call a number no longer in service, mailed to an old, out of date address.... or, the dd really did get it and is now simply lying saying he didn't. Whatever the reason.... I notice "hold the parent accountable for his child's lunch" is never being suggested by you. Very telling, indeed.

    Just an observation. Or do you want to hide from the facts?

    Well...seems he didn't if you take into account that report he was promised but never cared to follow up on. But as you say, he is "acting" on it now....

    I stopped holding parents accountable for lunch in schools the first few times I read stories of kids home packed lunches being trashed for the schools healthier options. In that case if I recall a childs home packed turkey and cheese sandwich was relegated to the trash can in favor of the Schools chicken nuggets.

    Cant have it both ways.

    That it is solely the contractors people. I gave you the line that backed my stance in that very same post, you couldnt have missed it. I would give them the lions share of it, but not 100%.

    What nonsense. A principal should follow up on a letter that he/she did not receive??

    Why is it so hard for the Right to blame the private contractor? The principal, teachers and school personnel were not providing the lunches or denying the lunches.

    Point out to me where I specifically said the church was responsible for this. Anything I said is accurate whether you want to admit it or not.

    If a problem was brought to his attention concerning lunch balances, and a follow up report was promised??? You bet your ass he should have followed up. If not, then why was he informed about it in the first place? By not following up, he allowed it to progress to this point, where other people obviously felt THEy needed to do something and kids had to dump trays of food they were given.

    It's not, in fact in my response to you I even said I would give them the lions share of the blame.....

    I'm not following.... he sent a report home? one that the dad said he never got? and he's to follow up x's 500 kids for all the reports, messages, grades, tests every kid is expected to give to their parents?

    I understand parents all seem to expect that personal phone call from the principal for everything a kid is doing or has done during the day.... but that's simply not achievable. Some parental responsibility to know whether or not you are sending them to school with lunch money isn't asking too much. And continuing to send them without lunch money isn't, all of a sudden, deemed acceptable if you don't get a statement saying this.

    when Father of the year called and complained.... the principal investigated and took corrective action....




    That's fine and an issue I would absolutely love to address and correct.... but unless it was THIS PARTICULAR school or THIS PARTICULAR principal that threw away the bag lunches for chicken nuggets, it's YOU that is trying to have it both ways.

    Common sense is in very short supply on the right. Right-wingers have been suffering brain farts since Nov 2008 and it has totally warped their thinking.
    These are the same types who wanted to force the US to default on its debt just to stick it to Obama.
    These are the same types who have been praying for America to fail just so they could stick it to Obama.
    You just have to look at some of the idiot comments on this thread alone to realize that you're wrong about the intentions of right-wingers.
    The mentality behind this miserable action by Whitson smacks of the same attitudes that the right champions- people who can't pay their own way don't deserve anything from the rest of us and they should be thrown under the bus.
    Liberals think that we're all in it together and cons think that you're on your own.

    Why not, instead of telling each other how stupid the comments are, come up with solutions that works for all?
    Hungry kids>>>food>>>waste. Lets start there, shall we, and lets try to be nice?

    Conservatives never advocated not paying our debts.

    Obama wanted to borrow more from china so that he can spend more on Obama voters.

    Umm...this was in the article, and you missed it. I quoted it to you a few posts ago, and you snipped around it in your response..so ill give it to you again.

    Boles is not a Whitson employee. Boles was alerted to a problem with deficient accounts at the beginning of the year and offered to pass a statement along to parents concerning said accounts.

    Then he never followed up. He never recieved said statement...so he never passed along said statement....as such parents never recieved said alert statement...and we have as a result what happened here. He shares responsibility for how it turned out.

    You missed or ignored the "proof" each time it came up, and then point a finger at other people for stupid comments? LOL....

    If you are also having a hard time following the line of thought, I resposted it for Bomac above. Take a read and maybe it will sink in.


    Nice dodge. you called me out for "never blaming the parents"...very telling you said. now you try to hide behind "this particular"? haha...sorry Javis, I saw the where the goalposts were before and where you are trying to plant them now....
    Telling. :wink:

    Most likely, this is not the parents who cannot afford. Just the ones who do not get around to keeping the account current. Kids who absolutely cannot afford meals tend to get free meals at the school through some process or another. They would not be the ones running in the negative. It is the kids whose parents have been advised of it, and have not issued the funds.

    While we're at it, how about we tell Afghanistan they dont need Helicopters, tell cambodia to feed their own school kids, and tell Pakistan we're not buying friendship and if they so much as make a peep at us we'll drop our 3rd nuke.

    No free lunches, I applaud the school for this teaching moment to the children.

    You don't work for it, you don't eat.

    The only thing the school did I would do differently is throwing the food away. Let the children have the lunch, but I would have put the students to work who didn't pay, bussing tables washing dishes or mopping the floors.

    Exactly.

    These are the children of children who were miseducated by the lib public teachers a generation ago to expect free lunches as their birthright.

    Why is it so important to you to blame anyone else for the private company's screw up?

    Surfboard hit you just a tad bit too hard on your head if you think the left possesses any more common sense than the right.

    I believe it is important to blame ALL the parties that were involved. Why dont you???
    I agreed with you to a point, and even agreed i would give the lions share of the blame to the private company...but come on, the Principal dropped the ball on what he was going to be responsible for.
    It's very possible that some of this would have been avoided if he had sent those notices to the homes whos kids were out of balances, as he said he would.....before he forgot to follow up on it.
