What a disgraceful way to raise funds and tax the vulnerable. I can only assume that this spiteful act was done because the School wanted to recoup money, lost from employing 'Special needs' Teaching assistants.
It stinks of Schools being ran by accountants and not the Head-Teacher who we can go to, if we have any issues.
Heads of Schools now just tend to use the "Sorry, it's out of my hands" approach. And then who are you left to deal with? An unsympathetic voice who knows nothing about you and has probably been employed for their business acumen, rather than their upstanding morals.
Well it seems this particular school is totally void of any morals at all and after reading this, it begins to support the theory that public Schools(not teachers) have no intention of allowing our Children to reach their true potentials.
Schools are the property of the Government and they are a business ran for profit, ergo, so is the School. It is nothing more that a profit generating ASSET.
This article proves just that...

Even though I am eligible to apply for my child to have free School meals, my Daughter prefers to takes a pack-lunch to School every day.
The food served at most Schools is provided by a private company, who have share-holders that must see returns, if the business wants to keep it's investors.
My Daughter has mentioned on many occasions how bad the food looks and even said that, one day every week, they have Cheese and Crackers, as a dessert?? Hmmm, sounds very cheap....
Luckily, we can both laugh about this and use it as a reason to make an even healthier pack lunch, in the hope it will tease other kids into asking their Parents to do the same and dump the School dinners.
It has not passed me by, that many families do not have the money to afford to make pack lunches for their Children and many are unaware of the trap set by the Government, to force people to have to depend on Free-School-meals. This allows the Schools to supply a prediction of how many children will need to be catered for. Therefor, giving a potential earnings forecast, for the various companies bidding for the rights to supply the School with hot meals.
In short, a business plan.
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. Not, LOVE, CARE AND NURTURING.
The more I read and learn about the way schools work for profit, the more I am considering 'Home-Schooling'
To look at our society from the out-side, it must appear very dark and cruel, when things like this appear.
