-Free school meal-

-Free school meal-

  Last Monday, we discussed free school meal. It was interesting to me because most people in my table agreed with free school meal. I was the only one who disagreed. There are several reasons to support my opinion.

  First, I think It is kind of political populism. Some politicians insist on free school meal plan so that they can make people support them and get votes. They say we should implement free school meal plan for all students in Korea. But I think, actually, It is a waste of taxpayer`s money since we have to pay more taxes to help some rich families which can easily afford their meal. So I think it is really monkey business. I do not want to pay taxes to help rich people. Second, Free school meal for all students is not a real solution. I mean if it is carried out, then, all students might get free school meals. But we should cut down other budgets such as education budget, health budget and welfare budget. There are lots of people in need. We don`t have to set a huge budget for only free school meal. In order to make better welfare systems, we should consider not only one plan but many other things.

  In conclusion, free school meal plan is one of the welfare systems. Government might need to implement it. But the important thing is that it should not be used for some politicians. We have to carry out that system step by step. And also we have to consider the overall welfare system.

  3. In a sence, It would be waste like that you said. I know you must pay more tax than now. It would be burden. However, your childern would receive the good free meal service with your tax. So you won't have to pas the money for the your childern' food.

  4. Budget pbl. Yeahh I know exactly what you said but you might think this pbl a little differently. I might be a chance to reduce money. You can shop more cheaply as being supporting a free meal system like I wrote in my essay. I partly agree with your opinion but there are so many alternative ways in Korea.

  5. It seems that depends on their consciences. Helping the lower income families is necessary. Hard to find out the solution is a problem. Isn't it assignment for our society?
