In her May 16 letter, “Breakfast not duty of schools,” Anita Bauman contends that schools should not be providing breakfast to students whose families are on food stamps — that their parents should be responsible for feeding their children. How heartless and uninformed can she be?
Food stamps are wholly inadequate for providing even the most meager sustenance to those who need them. She should be thankful that she, as a single mother, had the means to provide for her family, but certainly should not judge others before walking in their shoes.
If students are not adequately fed, they cannot learn and will be unable to support themselves when they are grown, thus perpetuating the cycle of poverty. Obviously, she has never worked in a school.
