They fail understand the importance. It is sad. And you're spot on. We shouldn't punish children for their parents shortcomings.
I know I don't have to tell you this. But for those that haven't experienced it from childhood.
I'm from a country with free school lunch. And I can assure anyone that it's so much more, than just the food. In the lunch room, everyone is an equal. Our teacher also ate with us. Same place. Same food. Same tables.
Everyone is an equal. It matters. That way you don't get people who grow up thinking they're above the rest.
It transcends into adulthood and your work life. Bosses, CEOs, managers, employees, engineers, sales, janitors, IT, etc. It's not uncommon at all that they all share a table at lunch. As equals.
Your teacher, your boss, they're not Mr. Andersson, Professor Lundqvist, Doctor Hansen. They're just Robin, Emma, Karl, Billy. And I sincerely believe, that all starts in school.
They fail at empathy as well
That's a great image and example
It all goes back to our ancient prehistoric ancestral roots .... if we all share the same food together around the same fire, the stronger our bonds become to one another. The more we share with each other the more connected we become to everyone in our community.
That is a great lesson for any child to learn and understand.
