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."

    One of them shouldn't be hiding your lunchtime purchases with money given to you by your parents.

    Why don't we simply pre-emptively incarcerate all kids in padded cells?
