School-Lunch Monitoring System for Parents

Posted by Zonk on from the love-the-ap-photo-of-the-kid-sucking-down-a-burrito dept.

karvind writes "According to Yahoo, three school districts in the Atlanta area last week became the first in the country to offer the parental-monitoring option of an electronic lunch payment system called Mealpay.com. The system was initially designed as a convenient way to make sure children bought lunch without worrying that lunch money would get lost, spent on other things or stolen. But on parent's request online meal-monitoring option was added and now parents can see all of a student's lunch purchases."

    What about buildig confidence on love and trust?

    We can't have that. Someone might get hurt.

    Then someone will most surely get sued.


    And that's expensive.
