Abdul,

Check on something for me. I know for a fact that many public schools offer laptop computers for free to their students. Maybe I am getting bad information from a parent. Case in point, Jeremiah Gray-Edison Elementary School in Perry Township. Question, should they be getting free laptops? With belt tighting around Marion County, should fourth and fifth graders be getting free laptops? Computers in the classrooms in one thing.

Recheck your facts, checker. As far as you go it is correct. But, it is possible, administratively, to offer and count as “poverty” children the whole school. Eliminate that and the poverty numbers will go way down, not that poverty has anything to do with anything other than an excuse for incompetent teachers and poorly performing administrators. Most kids whose biological parents divorce fall instantly into poverty. The State makes the rules on divorce as well and by greatly liberalizing them in the 1960's (no fault) greatly increased the role of lawyers and the bar in public life (and their income).

Interesting —some would say that in that the state sets all the rules and the state decides on the distribution of funding—thou shalt be satisfied with all the state's action. The distribution formula is a mess and will likely remain so.

There are two questions here. 1. Is the case valid? Can the case change how funding (winnable) is distributed to school districts? If there is a good shot of winning the case then it is not a waste Franklin Township tax payers money.

Pascal, once again you are off base……parents must submit verifiable info to become qualified for free lunch….and those lunches are served during the summer also….what idiot would think that poor children only need to eat during the school year…..I agree some of the lunches are not the most nutritional meals but they are better than nothing.

Science fiction is the Orwellian, over-fed, public sector notion, that there “must be more.” Imagine their panic when one day soon, they discover otherwise…

“This morning it seemed as though you merely wanted to get some good sound bites and slam someone who isn’t there to defend themselves.”

Welcome to Abdul's World.One-sided commentary for his special interest groups with much misinformation and one side of the issue…HIS own. That's why we love the show. It's science fiction at it's best. Hardly believable.

Kids would be better off without government meals. I am familiar with a study that focused on just what it was the kids actually ate. But, my point wasn't to boot the starving little foundlings off the public pap but to note that “administrators” have ways of goosing those numbers e.g. increase them by including kids who are not actually poverty stricken offspring of divorced parents or otherwise. Of course, one wonders how they survive the summer without meals furnished by government, regardless of the quality of said meals.
