> North Ayrshire Council said 97 per cent of children or their parents had consented to the new system
So the opinion of the North Ayrshire Council is that children can consent?
- pintxo 5y agoThe more interesting problem, how do they handle the 3% who did not consent? - Do they eat in a different hall? - Do they have to wear Harry Potter like cloaking devices? - Or more like Ku Klux Klan hoodies?
- elliekelly 5y agoThis is an interesting question. Perhaps I’m a cynic but I’m going to guess option D: allow them to use another payment method but otherwise ignore the lack of consent entirely.
- bidirectional 5y agoWell technically a subset of schoolchildren can -- those aged 16.
- amelius 5y agoAnd the remaining 3% watched Black Mirror.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoI'd bet money that the parents consented to some boilerplate that the new system is technically covered under or that one day in school they handed out permission forms for the "new school lunch program" and told kids either they could sign it and return it now or that they could bring it home for their parents. Obtaining "consent" in less than honest ways like this is SOP for schools.
- Aromasin 5y agoI can say with complete certainty that this scheme was not presented to parents in the way it deserves to be.
