More Free Stuff?
Honest to Pete, does anyone actually RAISE their children anymore?
- Lunch money may be a thing of the past at Chicago Public Schools.
Under a relatively new program called the Community Eligibility Option (CEO) all school meals will be free starting in September 2014, the district confirmed to WBEZ Thursday.
Although the CPS initially rejected the program in 2011, it had expanded it to 400 schools by last fall.
This September, however, will be the first time "well-off" schools join the program as well. Entirely free meals reduce the labor of cash collection and tracking which students have to pay full and reduced prices for their food. This tiered system (with incentives for schools reporting higher poverty levels) led to fraud among CPS employees in the past.
We remember a time when parents (with a "S") had jobs, saved money, bought a house, clothes, even -----get this----- FOOD! for their kids to eat, bring to school, share. It wasn't even that long ago.

And, today, all over the news, the woman crying 'you got to give them something to DO, somewhere to GO', talking about teens who are just so ever-lovin' bored they go out and shoot each other because they've got nothing else to do.
GIVE them something to do? I wasn't even allowed to cross the street, but I still played tag,went to the library, read books, painted the fence, taught the dog to sit and stay, dug in the garden, mowed the lawn...
Nowadays, kids have video games, internet, free cell phones, nice bikes... but its incumbent on 'society' to GIVE them even more. Occupy them more, entertain them more, cajole them more, pet them more.
Why doesn't anyone, anywhere, just speak the truth? They need PARENTING. By their PARENTS. Real, actual parents, not the damn government.
Standard.
Heres a dumb question. Isn't the amount of money a welfare recipient is given based on how many children they have. Shouldn't the parents have enough tax money for their kids to eat?
It's called, have as many kids as you can afford. Not , have as many as the government can afford.
No parents don't really raise their kids anymore. The government does it for them. It's proven that the government can do a better job of raising a child and indoctrinating that child.
Better to let the government schools feed the kids. That way they will get healthy government approved meals. Who knows what unapproved food their parents might be giving them.
Where is MINE? Where are all MY freebies?
I'm tired of footing the bill for all these people.
Send some to my house to cut the lawn, clean the gutters, and paint the house and I'll call it even.
Don't forget to send some to shovel the snow in the winter, if they want food year-round.
From Belly to Box. And the Freebie Food at School, from K-12, is for both breakfast and lunch. When do we get to pay for dinner? And how about sending the under-privileged on vacation and a car, after-all, they need to keep up with the taxpayers. Hail to all equality.
Just remember it's the teachers pensions that are the problem( Sarcasm off!)
The McDonald Corporation Community Center was recently built in Roseland/Pullman area by Joan & Ray Kroc who gave the Salvation Army 110 million dollars to construct a spectacular sports facility...best anywhere of its kind anywhere. Several swimming pools, water park, fitness room, massive sport gym, jogging track, recording studio, chapel, senior and teen lounge, 30 acre campus and then there is the 40 million Quinn & Rahm gave to Olive Harvey College for a College to Career Center. College to Career Center!!! And a walk around the block too. Just pile on that money baby!!! Toss it out there, it means nothing to the politicians or the free-loaders, only to the working stiffs. Our Kids will be poor, broke and home-less. Lucky to grovel for food let alone be given free food and sports centers.
i rather have a cop on every corner bought and paid for with my taxes than a free lunch for kids whose parents do not contribute a dime to the system
fucking amazing
You have to keep the socialist voters happy.
..Nightingale grammar 1961.. ..bag lunch unless you walked home to watch Bozo..26 cents for white, 28 cents for chocolate,if you wanted tray of cafeteria food.
So, let me get this straight...
We have to feed these kids twice a day. You can't suspend or discipline them anymore. Many get paid by After School Matters to be in a club or hang out after school. If they get bad grades, it's the teacher's fault. Many kids with high double digit absences and tardies pass their classes.
Of course reward the scum with more free shit. Anything for that almighty vote.
I am not a Police Officer, but enjoy reading this blog and many of the post. For me it give me a real life perspective of the garbage that you see on a day to day basis. I remember as a kid (not that long ago) that if you didnt fear the Police you respected them. I knew the Police in the neighborhood and they knew us. It may have only been for under age drinking, but i would take the crack over being driven home any day of the week.
It was a time that kids learned to be adults by making mistakes not crimes and the parents allowed the Police to do their job with their help and mutual respect.
My dad a fireman and mother a nurse worked hard to give us the basics in life. They would wake us up for school and feed us breakfast. When we got home to an empty house because they were both working, we sat down and did our homework. They came home from work and mom made dinner; even if you didnt like what she made you ate it. Every day this routine worked and we grew up to be good adults.
I credit my parents, but have to give the Police that were around us credit as well. We were harmless youth and at the end of the day they wanted us to be good adults as well.
Free food, extended school, free cell phones, free healthcare, free housing, free bus fare, special scoring on test for jobs. What has that got us as a society. Nothing but a group of citizens that have never learned how to transition from a child to an adult and conform with society and the rule of law.
Give them sandwiches and they will want steak. The more you give someone the weaker you make them.
Little off topic, but this rant could go on and on.
Look at your recent property tax bill and see that they have the biggest slice going to the board of Ed. Than another tax just for the school building fund. These cocksuckers have even more money to piss away and a separate fund for the corrupt assholes and their relatives to divvy up! It will never end! Who is going to stop it? Everything is controlled by the same political party on every level in this state and nation! No one to be held responsible! A different definition of democracy!
This is really getting old!
Since participation in the "low-income" food program was the gateway to free high-speed cable internet at home, does this mean that every chilun automatically gets hot broadband now?
I am paying over $70.00/month for slow Uverse service and a sometimes-working phone -- not even TV.
Saw someone in a fine, newly tuckpointed bungalow, new roof, satellite dishes sticking out all over, new cars lined up on the new driveway, polishing his big new Harley -- "eligible" for free lunches & free internet...
I asked if I could borrow a chilun just for a few hours so I could get hooked up too, but he said naw.
Sounds fair to me. After all, Ezekiel Emanuel says that I have had a "complete life" by now and should receive no further care or attention of any kind.
El free high-speed streaming Communo-educatio-consumero-porno en Espanol would seem to be the wave of the future.
Onward!

That explains the recent property tax increase. SUCKERS.

...built models, played war in the vacant lot, caught bugs in jars and looked at them, watched the trains go by, found a neat piece of junk, went to the beach...came back all sunburned, into the tub, plate of dinner, and stone cold unconscious in bed by 8 PM so I could do it all again tomorrow...
Today there is no day or night anymore...and the children are frightening, hardened adults while the adults have become crying, don't-know-what-to-do children.
Life occurs on a smartphone.
It's too weird.
Well, if one does a little research, you will find that there are some CPS schools that actually send kids home on the weekends with groceries!
WTH!
Democrates , all democrates keep voting and ringing door bells for Madigan, a Rahm , Quinn, Cullerton the city and the world get better. LOL
Coppers are stupid, real stupid!
"Heres a dumb question. Isn't the amount of money a welfare recipient is given based on how many children they have. Shouldn't the parents have enough tax money for their kids to eat?"
7/08/2014 12:20:00 AM
Absolutely. Parental responsibility ends at conception. People should be allowed to have as many children as they please, whether or not they can afford them.
"Whatever you subsidize, you get more of." This principle is the foundation of a healthy society.
"Better to let the government schools feed the kids. That way they will get healthy government approved meals. Who knows what unapproved food their parents might be giving them."
7/08/2014 12:36:00 AM
Absolutely. Parental responsibility ends at conception. Someone else should feed, someone else should doctor, someone else should educate, someone else should entertain, someone else should walk -- or, now, drive -- the children to school and back.
It's a good thing that this does not affect your life in any way; after all, there's never a pool of urine in your personal bus seat.
The streets are safe for you to walk down -- anywhere in the city, at any hour -- your "quality of life" improves every day, and of course you pay no taxes for any of this.
What planet did you say that you're communicating from?
We already pay for dinner. And lunch. And breakfast. That used to be called Food Stamps. Not it's a card that you can use to buy filets and lobster if you want. Or about anything if you go to the right store.
The government is a far bigger slave owner than all the plantations in the South before the Civil War. Only the slaves don't know it. And these slaves don't have to work. What's not to like about the arrangement?
In their bleeding heart efforts to make sure that the country "ends poverty", the liberals have managed to create a class of people that have zero responsibility and depend upon the government for everything, while voting themselves more and more to "redistribute wealth". And yet no one in the liberal camp seems to think that this is a problem. Let's throw more money at the problem. Let's get more programs out there, more bureaucrats, more handouts. Let's not demand anything of those "poor souls". After all, all of us "rich" white people made them that way.
I grew up in the 70's, in the projects. We had school in the damn trailers. No breakfast but we had lunch and it was not much. Never classified ourselves as poor. Hundreds of kids playing and the only time I heard gunfire was on New Years Eve. Sure there were gangs but it was not like today. What am I saying is, another post about free breakfast gets people riled up and pissed off. Do you realize that this is a forced situation upon parents today, they have no choice in the matter. And also, none of the kids eat that shit. It is some of the worst food I have seen. When my kids attended CPS breakfast was there but believe me, even Cook County inmates would not eat it. Sorry to be long winded but this is all a scam. Do not believe the parents want this.
It's a deliberate policy designed to collapse the country.
Just A Citizen Says: Well, in the 60's when I was going to grade school, my mom got all five of us kids up every morning, made us breakfast and then we MADE OUR OWN LUNCHES and had lunch boxes and went to school. I don't see how any of us suffered from this. When we got home we had chores to do and then homework. None of us had to go on Orpa complaining, none of us turned into drug addicts or crack ho's. We somehow managed to survive this horrible childhood we had (CHORES????) and grow up to be hard working people.
Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime. Problem is these assholes don't even want fish. They want it all without putting one ounce of energy into it. I hate all of them. And PS, so does God! He hates lazy people.
The Chinese know whats up. One baby per family. I am tired of paying for other people to fuck.
Think positive. It will stop some of the corruption that has ocurred in the CPS where principals, ass't principals,headquarters staff and local school employees lied to get their kids free lunch. Now everything is free for everybody.
Thats what the comment in the post was about when it said there had been problems in the past.
Everyone whining about "my tax dollars" needs to suck it up and realize that taxes are not "your" dollars. You pay taxes as part of the bargain of being a citizen. The government decides how that money is spent. Not you, not any individual. So quit crying about this fictional piece of information that you still individually own some portion of tax dollars and have any claim as to how it is spent.
whats the LINK card for?
Gonna make sure my kid gets seconds. My taxes are payng for this so this is the rare instance when I actually get something back I guess...
Let's see, ~ before school, during the school day and after school, add in meals, books(laptops), etc. etc. all you need is a few more hours, weekends and an orange jumpsuit and call it a day!
Here's a dumb question....There is no welfare anymore. those who can get money, can only get it for four or five years..a few more years if they are enrolled in college. There is no welfare.
Parents are merely breeding stock (for increasing the numbers of Democrats in too many areas). According to one previous First Lady of the US, "it takes a VILLAGE (of hard working tax paying slobs) to raise a child." And one of her compatriots - a talking head on MSNBC - recently stated that children "belong" to the government. Because children are government chattel, it is clearly up to the government to provide them with food, housing, clothing, indoctrination (a.k.a. education) and later, a cell phone, transportation and more indoctrination (a.k.a. a college degree from a left-leaning college or university). As long as their minds are cleansed from those racist, sexist and noninclusive ideas regarding personal responsibility and self-reliance, the children will be hailed as "our future" by every prog pol at the podium and will be guaranteed to have high self-esteem because part of the indoctrination has been to tell them daily how special they are, regardless of what they do.
How much is this costing the taxpayers of Shitcago?
Don't you remember the smartest women in the world saying "It takes a village". She is right the village = government is the only entity that can feed and raise childeren these days. Modern society is just to complicated for parents to know what to do and how to raise/feed their children. That is what he pay government to do. Government has the answers.
Once minimum wags is increased to more than it should be, will they stop these programs because the people are making too much money? I haven't qualified for any programs because I was told I earn too much a year, yet I live pay check to pay check with two children. I even work a second job just to have extra, but people like me are the problem and not money sucking lazy leeches...
America has its priorities ass backwards.
I'm singing
Mammy needs the money to get her drink on. The childruns beez on dey own"
There is no incentive to improve yourself anymore.
Breakfast was always free. If you were at school early enough, you went to the lunchroom and grabbed breakfast if you wanted it. I know because I had to pay $1.60 for lunch - nothing for breakfast though. Kids eating lunch free is fine by me, poor or rich. Seems most here just wanted something else to complain about. There is no such thing as "your/my" tax money until income tax return season rolls around. That's like me telling one of you officers that the paycheck you get is my money. Tax money is the governments money.
Its called no leadership.

This tiered system (with incentives for schools reporting higher poverty levels) led to fraud among CPS employees in the past.
“Our predominantly high [low-income] population—nearly 90 percent—allows us to meet the threshold to ensure that reimbursement rates won’t cost the district revenue,” a CPS spokeswoman said in the email .
If they lied in the past, why should anyone believe their "90 percent" claim now ?
This country needs to eliminate welfare, period.
Secondly, delete any reference to Lyndon Baines Johnso, and deface any statue or monument to him. That dirty SOB started giving the handouts to these lowlifes to breed.

0941, I think I love you.
I'm a CPS teacher at a regular neighborhood high school. Breakdown on student spending:
Things students DON'T pay for: breakfast, lunch, sports, school books, school supplies, AP tests, ACT, eyeglasses
Things students DO pay for: iPhones, Beats headphones, manicures/pedicures, hair extensions, hair graphics, gold, prom dresses/tuxes
