Conventionally attractive girls have their scholarly struggles ignored because it is assumed they are pretty enough to get along. They are generally treated well enough that they don’t become a behavioral problem.

While bulk pricing is legal, distributors are legally mandated to provide the same pricing models to all qualified customers. However, the US hasn’t enforced these laws in a long time. Theoretically Walmart and Mom and Pop’s Grocery should be able to place the same size order for the same price but many big box stores started bullying the distributors for special secret pricing and then forbade them from offering those prices to anyone else.

Yes and no? You can’t buy the food at school with cash. So just opting out of the system isn’t possible.
Cash has to be taken to the cafeteria before lunch to be entered into the system so the kids need a special pass to run down and take care of it. Mine are really bad at remembering this and at the start of the year when every family is trying to put cash in, there can be massive delays.
The most interesting boggle about the new system is they didn’t include any way to transfer lunch balance between kids in the family and apparently that was a big issue for a lot of families. Seems that many people would give the cash deposit to the oldest kid and then use the old system to redistribute the money to the younger kids in the family later.

No, there is a push to ignore learning problems entirely unless they are bad enough to qualify for a diagnoses that merits additional funding. If you don’t pass the threshold for a qualifying diagnosis, they would rather not provide services at all.
