Many K-12 schools across the country of Eruowood are coming under fire for "lunch shaming" students who are in debt on their lunch bills. Some schools don't give the students an alternate meal (IE peanut butter & jelly or plain cheese sandwiches) for in debt students, forcing them to go hungry. Most Eruowoodian schools simply just throw away the student's lunch if they're in debt and in some schools giving them detention for being in debt on their lunch bill.

Rothenbourgh Primary School
Rothenbourgh Primary School in Dubois, a small suburb of Eruowood City has somewhat the highest student lunch debt in Eruowood during the 2016-2017 school year due to many of the students who attend the K-4 school come from lower income families who would normally qualify for free or reduced lunches, The Rothensbourgh Central School District had some mix-ups among the paper parents fill out for free or reduced lunches for their children at school. The school's policy for "shaming" students' lunch debt is that the hot lunch will taken away from them and the student will be hand stamped with a red inked stamp that says "I need lunch money!" as a reminder for parents to pay the lunch bill and the hand stamped student(s) are sent to a room in the cafeteria called "Lunch Detention Hall" where the students are forced to make a sandwich consisting of white bread and a slice of American cheese for their lunch.

Schultz Street School
One student (a 4th grade boy) who attended the school had his lunch (a tray of pizza, cucumber slices applesauce, and chocolate milk) thrown away in front of him after a cafeteria worker found out that the student was three days behind on his lunch bill and was force to be sent to a table to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in front of the entire cafeteria.

Fixing the student lunch debt problem in Eruowood
Some parents of students who attend school in the Glouchster County School District(the district that Schultz Street School is in) started some fundraisers (like spaghetti dinners) to help needy students with payment of their lunch bills.

However, Eruowood doesn't a federal free school lunch program, but some Eruowoodian states have their own free school lunch programs available, but not every struggling family meets the income requirements, and those that do may have language barriers, or fail to file the paperwork.

Some students who are in debt on their lunch bills are turning their peers to lend them some money for lunch, but this is a volition of school policy in many school districts in Eruowood.
