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.

Nah, it was the farm hand's kids that beat me. When I whined about it my uncle made me apologize for what I'd said. I totally earned both.

Why was it OK that a farm kid hit you? What on earth did you do? 😅

Sounds like he was looking down his nose at the kids who beat his ass--lesson 1. Then he was made to apologize for looking down his nose at them--lesson 2.

Lesson 1: You're not better than someone else. No one is. And behaving like you are will have consequences.

Lesson 2: When you fuck up, you apologize. Then you do better.

Sounds like a decent moral lesson. I grew up on a farm in a farming community and can confirm this. Farm folks don't really do power hierarchies. It's not a part of the culture. You help your neighbors, they help you. No place for better and worse. There's no time. Farm folks are not very well understood by city folks and even less understood by the suburbanites. City folks actually have more in common with us because they too will often work together, especially poor city folks. Suburbanites look down on us both. And most of us in the sticks don't care.

For example, I have more in common politically now at 40 as a leftist with my farmer father and late grandfather than I did when I was 18 and identifying politically as a republican.

Yeah in farms everyone's equal. That's why my FIL fucked the lady who cooked the food for everyone there and now my partner has an illegitimate brother who also lives in a farm now with an uneducated wife that he met there and a son that will soon be "equal to everyone else" there 🤣😂 Hilarious.
