Well, at least the kid can get a meal at school; sure not getting anything at home.

If that's a child of an "AI", I'm not sure does they even need "food" in form of carbohydrates, fats and proteins (or amino acids) that humans need. Electricity is all they need, probably. Or maybe even directly it's light, if they're an optical computing device. Or if you purely regard them as a software thing, computing power is all they need.

Much lesser needs of dwelling space, too.

The kid could not make the cut for private school, so...
