Local churches used to organize breakfast in some of the parks during the summer for kids whose parents just wouldn't get around to feeding them. Statistically speaking, a child getting sent to the public school is more likely to be in that category than a homeschooled child. Most parents who don't want to deal with their kids, welcome sending them to have someone else watch them.
