Catholic school starves students and doesn't allow books or football pads

Troll attempt...3/10. But in response, I would say if I'm forking out several thousand $ a year to put my kid in your school, I will have input and do what I please. If I want to take books or lunch to my school, I will. The customer is always right.
 
They're starving kids, like McDonald's is making people fat.

I applaud them for trying to shoot down helicopter parents.
I don't see it as shooting down helicopter parents as much as teaching kids and their parents to be responsible. For instance, we don't give our kids juice for their school lunches; rather, we tell them to take their water bottle with them. The first time they forgot I told them that it's a good lesson and they won't forget the next time. And we don't live in fear that our girls will dehydrate - we know the school will allow them to go to the water fountains, etc.

Exactly. When I was in elementary school, if I forgot my sweater or lunch, I learned to survive without it. Learned how to ask other kids to spot me some food and paid them back. And I certainly remembered the next day to pack that stuff.
In other words, we were taught to be self sufficient.
Some of these kids now days become adults who still need their parent to fix stuff when they're at a age in which they should be able to fix it themselves.

I'm sure impoverished kids in India would agree that one lunch session without their half pound of fried chicken tenders will push these kids to the brink of starvation.
 
If this is considered starving, don't ever get caught scalping tickets in Brazil

IOC's Hickey shares prison cell with THG executive
Rio's Bangu prison complex, which has more than a dozen separate units in the city's rough western reaches, is notorious for violence and uprisings.

The G1 news website reported last year that inmates in the Bangu 10 part of the complex where Hickey is being held were eating damp toilet paper to kill their hunger.
