I don't drink soda.

Just go to the clearance racks, it is all medium or lower.

Ikr. 32oz simply can't be a medium soda, I don't care if we're in America.

Your point?

This school is showing despicable behaviour imo. If there is a problem with payment, talk with the parents first. And most of all, don't punish children for things that they cannot even influence. The fact that that is even a punishment boggles the mind. But alas, 70 quid is more important than the wellbeing of a child.

how else should the school enforce the payment they are entitled to? they cant punish the parents...

the cadence of the letter is ofc despicable, and having such high extra costs for lunch at a school is ridiculous in my book, but oh well.

A private letter to the parents seems fair to me imo. It's not like they publicly shamed the child in front of his peers. There is no such thing as a free lunch either the parent pays for it or the parent and everyone else pays for it through higher taxation. I'm assuming it's 75 euros for half of the school year, something that every single household in the UK can easily afford. If the school gets X money in subsidies for school lunches and the rest the parents have to provide are you expecting the school to somehow just make up the difference as to not appear insensitive?
