A girl of eight who forgot her £3.50 lunch money was instead given a school dinner of bread and water. For dessert, Courtney Williams got a blackened banana.


Quote:
Courtney said: "It was very embarrassing when I took my plate up to get some food with all the other children and they just handed me another plate with dry bread on it.

"I was quite upset. I had to sit and watch everyone else eat proper meals and I just had some bread and an old banana with a black skin."


Quote:
The school headmistress, Sue Rowlinson, said they had tried their best to help Mrs Williams and find a solution to the payment problems, and would continue to do so.

This is just disgusting to think about!!

Very sad.......

Regardless of who is right and who is wrong in this battle between the adults, an inoccent CHILD is being punished. And that is wrong on all fronts. I am appalled that in this day and age a child is being bullied in this way by ADULTS and educated ones at that. Disgusting.

Yeah, exactly. I think it's just sad that they give him a... Blackened banana? For the love of god, it's not like the world is super poor now, I'm sure they could've afforded atleast a proper yellow banana and milk! *sigh* I don't like where the world is going. Everything's about money, money and more money.

In this case, my (Public) elementary school would force you to take one of their lunches even if you did not want it.
