Students are only allowed to purchase 1 ice cream and are not permitted to buy an ice cream for a friend.
Absolutely deranged. The hyper-individualism is just beaten into you over there huh
I hope there is some totally chad student:
I purchased one ice cream and gave it to him.
You aren't allowed to give your ice cream to a friend! He's not my friend.You aren't allowed to give your ice cream to a friend!
Fuck you.
Buying school supplies is something I haven't thought about for so long that it never occurred to me that it's unusual or that there's a better way to distribute school supplies.
What's even more nuts is that this goes for teachers, too. It's skilled labor, requiring years of college, in demand practically everywhere; yet the pay is shit and part of it has to go to stocking your classroom.
Meanwhile, the school board members just voted themselves each a new, fully-paid SUV.
What the fuck? That’s a new one I haven’t heard before. Where I grew up even if the admins skimmed every last cent they could there wasn’t anywhere near enough money going around to build a bowling alley regardless of who was allowed to use it.
The only problem with that is if people have other needs. I.e. in terms of different paper or texture feelings etc. However this, too, is easier when you know the standard and can see if that fits you.
Genuinely one of the most evil sentences I've ever read
Nonono if one kid cannot bring 1000$ and buy all the ice cream, it's literally food stamps, pure gommulism!
Preventing kid's natural inclination to be kind to their friends by making a rule against being kind to your friends. Sick.
From my experience being a poor kid, you have to give back whatever they shared with you and you both get yelled at and or separated
They usually don't tell parents cuz they know how bad it sounds lmfao
Because SNAP lobbies the districts to buy their lunch accounting systems instead of schools just doing their own lunch tickets.
why do elementary schoolers have to pay for lunch in any way shape or form? There should be no lunch accounting or lunch tickets, there should just be food that the children are given.
Students are only allowed to purchase 1 ice cream and are not permitted to buy an ice cream for a friend.
Fuckin depraved ghouls
What if a stranger buys them an ice cream, therefore, not a friend.
maybe don't have a stranger on school grounds handing out candy to kids that souns like a bigger issue
Note from editor: This is too on the nose and not believable for our target audience, we are aiming at young adults, not pre schoolers, who would believe that dystopian societies would limit the buying and exchanging/sharing of ice cream. This only works if you mention that the evil regime is socialist.
not permitted to buy an ice cream for a friend
shout out to the people that bought me food occasionally and let me have their leftovers in school. that made being poor as shit in a school for rich-ish people more bearable.
"We legally can't keep out every poor kid, so we need to make sure to hurt any that get through"
Hey, Id like to buy an ice cream...hands over dollar
Sorry, kiddo, but you can't buy an ice cream until you've paid off your lunch debt.
Thank you for helping us have a great first ice cream Friday, I hope this poor-shaming went smoothly for you
*keeps dollar*
so this is specifically designed to make kids whose parents don't put money on their account feel bad, right?
Reminds me of a (lib?) I was chatting with years ago who said he's against racism but that he doesn't see anything wrong with our border policies and that people shouldn't be breaking the law by crossing the border illegally and had no idea what the people agreeing with him were about until they started saying the bullying and arrests of the kids of immigrants is the fault of their parents and he had a huge shock that these were the people he'd been agreeing with and who'd agreed with him this whole time (no I can't break this sentence up and make it shorter).
Yes. No other explanation for why a kid can’t pay cash for a cone if they have a deficit on their account.
I think lots of people see communism as childish because they instinctively did the things they associate with communism as children, and were broken o that habit as they aged.
Make them understand that they were made to be a certain way for a certain reason. If you can show them that it wasn't just "life" that made them less trusting, more greedy, but an intentional effort designed to benefit someone who wasn't them, that would make them understand why we believe in communism.
If I was a parent I'd probably just buy a bunch of ice creams, walk in, and start handing them out to all the kids who didn't get one.
Absolute face move, would get a mega crowd pop.
"Greetings children, it is I, father of Kim-Jong (my child's name). If you do not have an ice cream, you may now have one."
No teacher is powerful enough to stop children from taking the ice cream. There would be riots. I would become a martyr.
You would become known as the reason behind the school's decades long irrational ban on ice cream. Your name will be sung of in song and poem for generations.
blind self interest is human nature, which is why they have to make explicit rules against doing anything else
