Mike02886, very well said and I think you nailed it. Some of these parents need to know what its like to sacrifice their own needs for their childs. I understand this is not the case in every household but those numbers in this article speak for themselves. Either there are an overwhelming number of parents who haven't yet filed for free or reduced lunch, or there is an overwhelming amount of parents who can afford to clear this debt and choose not to. There needs to be accountability and personal responsibility from the parents and it seems like that is very much lacking in todays society.
