The name on the sign, door, or shirt doesn't define the heart, mind, and purpose behind the knob or the logo displayed. That is especially true within the Webb City School District where I have theAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108871906739365645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985022.post-49727195929706503642015-09-14T12:51:36.148-07:002015-09-14T12:51:36.148-07:008:54 dramatic much?

Nobody on here said anything about wanting to see children suffer or go without. Like Eric at 8:47 mentions there are plenty of oulets, other than schools, available to help families in need. As for what 7:50 said about generational poverty, generational is the key word.

Have we forgotten that there are many private entities (i.e. churches, food pantries, etc.) that provide this service EVERY day, not just weekends. I am highly in favor of helping others less fortunate than myself, but it's high time the government got out of the charity Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797234047640019852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985022.post-32628480746369136982015-09-11T20:54:09.692-07:002015-09-11T20:54:09.692-07:002:44- Along with 7:50 comments, you have not dealt...2:44- Along with 7:50 comments, you have not dealt with poverty. You may be right about the parents, but should the kids be punished? Seriously, research sometime Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. You will find people who struggle with getting the basic necessities do not learn as well. Is it the parents' fault? Maybe. Are they struggling to make ends meet like most people, probably.

School districts and communities all across the country address child hunger and will continue to do so with or without a Bright Futures name. Are most of these kids being intentionally starved by parents at home?

He is a wonderful administrator, is truly devoted to what is best for our children, and is of the finest moral fiber. I believe D. Rosetti's decision will way heavily with all other schools and will lead the way to the demise of BFUSA.
