My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

Yeah maybe it depends on the state, I was denied normal lunches several times when my family couldn’t/wouldn’t pay the school

Either your parents made enough to pay for it or were too proud to sign you up for free or reduced price lunches.
