The school where I teach is a Title 1 school. A Title 1 school is a school where a large portion of the students are in homes that are below the poverty line, so the school receives extra money from the Federal Government. In my school’s case, an extra $125,000 per school year for 1,500 students.
We are designated as a Title 1 school because 70% of our students are so poor that they qualify for free or reduced lunch and breakfast, meaning that they need to be fed two meals a day because their family can’t afford to feed them. On top of that, most of them also receive welfare and food stamps.
So isn’t it odd that nearly every student also has a cellular phone with a data plan?
If the students’ families can afford to waste money on cell phones, why can’t they feed their own kids instead of asking the taxpayers to do it?

Didja ever notice that even an alligator, not on anyone’s list of the top 10 smartest animals, brings food to its young? But these human parents are too stupid to do so?
They’re not more stupid than a gator. They would ask why they shouldn’t take what’s being given to them.
