What arsehole teachers.

I empathize with the mum, worrying about the government cutting the program.... They will be looking for any excuse

Maybe, but the government tried to cut the funding, and after public pushback agreed to keep it but reduced the funding down to $3 per kid for the schools that get it. They admitted that it will be hard to find a lunch at that price level but reduced it anyway. I highly doubt the government is open to giving lunch to the staff as well as the kids.
