School lunch debt is a pervasive problem in the U.S. Stroudsburg Junior High School freshman Jiles Hernandez believes that having free school lunch is a great idea, “I believe that school lunch having an expense is dumb. It leaves kids who can’t afford food in debt. For example, I’m currently $160 in lunch debt and I can not afford to pay it off.” More than 30 million students can’t afford their school meals, according to the Education Data Initiative, a research team that collects data and statistics regarding the U.S. education system, and 68.8% of surveyed schools have students with unpaid meal debt.
