I am not saying school is incarceration. But you are required to go to school and if you skip a police officer can pick you up and physically force you back to school. There are other legal consequences for repeatedly skipping.

If I start bleeding out of my nose in school I get a free nose roll thing.

If I get a cut in school I get a free band aid.

If I get a bruise in school I get a free ice pack.

If I am poor or forgot my own, why shouldn't the school have extra pads or tampons? Most girls want their own name brands and will bring their own when they can.

So I should have went hungry at lunchtime in school, because I had 1 parent...an irresponsible dad?

If you provide toilet paper, then you should provide sanitary products.

How many different kinds? Tampons come in all different shapes and sizes. Pads come in all different shapes and sizes and thicknesses. There is no one size fits all. So how many and what kind do you supply for free?
