GUEST POST from Don – School Lunch Debt +

SCHOOL LUNCH DEBT + As with so many other government programs, school lunch programs don’t make sense.  The programs start with a well-intentioned thought:  “Kids who eat lunch do better in school.”  (That thought assumes that kids who eat lunch do WELL in school.  More than one local district has below 50% who are competent in math, science, and/or …

GUEST POST from Don – Without PBS
