"I thought best case scenario, we maybe get a couple of hundred bucks and be able to help a couple of students and even that would have been awesome," Jones said."It was cool to see strangers stepping up to help kids through a hard situation," he said.
Jones explained that as a teacher, he's had to periodically hand out notices to students with outstanding lunch balances and the experience is often uncomfortable for students, some of whom may skip lunches entirely. "I think the fear of hearing you have a balance and maybe some kids are around ... that is just terrifying for a middle schooler," Jones said."The chance of being embarrassed outweighs the problem of being hungry for a lot of them, I think. And so they just kind of avoid altogether."Jones smiles for a photo with some of his middle school students at Rocky Mountain Middle School in Heber City, Utah.
Oh, so now teachers want to take over parental duties too? Next thing you know they'll be tucking your kids into bed at night! NoMoreNannyState
Pack your kids lunch. School food is gross!
Why do we care more about protecting banks than our own children's schools and giving more to foreign countries than feeding our own children's delicious and nutritious food? I guarantee if we change those two things.. . School shootings would be a thing of the past.
How about the parents duty to take care of their own kids
We should issue free guns to the students to protect themselves from Harrasing teachers and parents as well the police who may ask if their guns are loaded.
School lunch debt. Just one more thing that only exists in “the greatest country in the world”, where children are legally required to be in school all day but aren’t fed because children’s lunches have been turned into a corporate profit center.
Why rely on the federal government for this?
feeding your kids falls under what a PARENT does not the schools funded by taxpayers.

Think over 90% of voters would agree. 1 Ukraine aid package could feed whole the country for decades
If he thought it important enough to make a ridiculous narcissistic TikTok video, he should have directed it towards the parents with outstanding balances.
It’s up to the parents to make sure their children are feed. My parents did it w/o the gov’t I did it and my kids. Had a budget cooked meals and my kids do the same. Education got them the six figure income. We showed parents how to do it at the welfare office. Teach ppl
Kids in other countries don’t starve when they’re sent to school
I cook lunch to my kid everyday to take to school, I’m a father.
I don’t know man, I go to work everyday and have to feed myself. I’m contractually obligated to be at work, but they have no responsibility to feed me or worry about if I had food or not. Time to get with the program. Soft kids make soft leaders which makes a soft world. 🌎
Someone name another 1st world nation where kids have lunch debt?
Mommy and daddys responsibility to feed their children. No one elses.
Our students are provided with “Free” Lunch, but they look down their noses at it and eat out of the vending machines. No starving students, but I have mice, roaches and ants because they don’t dispose of their trash AND eat in class…
Why is it the taxpayer's responsibility to feed other people's kids? On earth, every 30 seconds, a child starves to death Where is your call to have other people pay to keep those kids alive? Stop pretending that your empathy grants you authority to spend other people's money
When I was in school my Daddy made sure eat everyday and made sure my kids eat everyday to but today people think someone else could take care of there kids
Katie Hobbs implicated in Racketeering and election fraud! Report THIS 👇
The country can afford to pay its civilian debt, but chooses to let them go hungry and struggle instead. Why?
Why are parents feeding their children?
Student Lunch Debt Shouldn't Be a Thing. Just Feed Kids.
Another example of what we should be funding, instead of funding corruption through war.
This is not a heartwarming story.
The fact that this has to be done is sad af
