Fired school cafeteria worker in N.H. offered job back

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A cafeteria worker in New Hampshire who claimed she was fired after she gave lunch to a student who couldn’t afford to pay has the chance to get her job back.

But Bonnie Kimball said she doesn’t want her job back.

“It’s for all the wrong reasons,” Kimball, 57, said in a telephone interview “They ruined my life and I am not going to bail them out.”

She said she has not formally been offered her job back, and believed officials planned the offer to halt a frenzy media attention focused on the rural school district in western New Hampshire.

“They didn’t count on all this,” Kimball said. “They are only doing it for themselves.

Amanda Isabelle, superintendent of the Mascoma Valley Regional School District, announced Friday evening that the district’s lunch provider, Café Services, agreed to rehire Kimball and pay her for lost wages.

1. Thanks for caring about children Mame.

Stick to your guns. You did the right...erm CORRECT thing. (Hard to even type that word, much less trump or gop.) Americans see you. Thanks for feeding those kids.

2. Let's hope Bonnie gets a better job.

And let's hope those worms in the school district a) rethink their misguided policy of contracting out lunch services to a private sector corporation that cares more about shareholder earnings than it does about the welfare and nutrition of the children, and b) rethink their budget and begin pressuring their local, state and federal governments for better and more comprehensive free lunch programs.

A hungry kid has a pretty hard time learning math, eh?

3. "They are only doing it for themselves"

This speaks volumes. But, perhaps this is a good thing. The more something like this happens, the more those in charge may have to think through the impact their decisions will have. They fired her because of a “in-stone” policy. This is the price they have to pay for an almost “zero-tolerance” policy. When your policy enables you to make decisions without thought, you will almost always fail, as shown here.

I love her entire attitude. She is sticking to her guns, even though the easier path would be to simply take her job back. Conviction is an amazing trait that shows the true character of a person.

4. They wanted her to take food out of

the mouth of a hungry child.

Never.

6. But did they address the core problem?

She was fired by district manager. Unless they fire this district manager they have fixed nothing.
