What's hard for the kids is having something different from everybody else, it opens them up to being bullied over it.

Still, if this gal had been paying for the occasional lunch, firing her was positively Scrooge like.

It's good this is in the media. She will very likely be reinstated and Scrooge will have a very red face for a while.
