Most schools require money for school lunches. Well, those schools should be able to have free lunches.
My elementary and middle schools have had free lunches for a long time. I go to the cafeteria lines every day, and I don’t have to remind myself to bring money daily. I think of it as a privilege because I don’t have to spend my allowance on school lunches. I have about $100 from my birthday last year and from a few chores around the house. If I were to spend my own money on school lunches during the whole school year, it would be almost $500.
When I used to live in New Jersey, I had to pay for my school lunches. It cost 3 dollars and 10 cents. My parents decided that it was too much, and made me lunch every morning. I still, and I will believe that all children should have free lunches at school.
