It is the parents’ responsibility to feed their children, not the school’s. If parents cannot afford to feed them, then grocery vouchers should be provided by welfare services, enabling them to feed their children before sending them to school.
If this is not the case, then Children’s Aid should be sent to investigate. Parents must feed their children — no one else.
