You can lead a DC child to free breakfast…

| August 8, 2007

Apparently, the District of Columbia can’t force the poorer children of the city to eat their breakfast, according to the Washington Examiner;

The District of Columbia’s public schools reach fewer than half of low-income students who qualify for free breakfast, despite a “universal” program aimed at feeding all eligible children, according to a report released Tuesday.

[…]

Alternative methods include serving breakfast in classrooms rather than in a cafeteria or “grab and go” plans in which students can take food items from carts or the cafeteria with them to the classroom. Studies have found that children who eat breakfast fare better on standardized tests.

Well, you can also hook ’em up to a feeding tube or start giving them breakfast enemas, or intravenous feedings. or you can just cancel the damn program and make their parents feed them before they leave the damn house and stop spending my damn tax money on useless crap. For pete’s sake…
