Definitely do not agree with this. This would not benefit the kids, it isn't the kids fault that they are depending on help. Some people really do need this help ! Of course there are those adults that abuse this help and it is those kids that would probably be abused by parents if they were the cause of the decline in help.

Connecting food to grades sounds like a bad idea... but then, I am not an advocate for public education nor public welfare.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
I absolutely do NOT support this idea. If people NEED food and/or shelter, that benefit shouldn't be based on ANYTHING except their need for it. Ridiculous.
I'm aghast at the idea--and I can't believe you (JD) would even consider it. Did you have your Wheaties this morning??????

I'm not an advocate of public education either, BUT it was instituted for a good reason: to serve children who lack parents or guardians who can either teach them or pay for their education. It's necessary.
I want welfare to be controlled better, but I would not want it abolished. What an awful society we would be if we didn't make sure those in poverty received assistance!

Well, I personally think elements of it are a good idea. If we leave grades out how about using general attendance? I have no problems with tying a parents welfare to actually making sure their kids attend school.
