So many children come to school suffering from hunger, trauma, no sleep, etc. It makes such a huge difference in their presence in the classroom and their ability to function and carry out healthy, productive relationships. We have free breakfast and lunch for all students in the district I work in and it's phenomenal. A lot of the kids on my caseload come from poverty and less fortunate situations and they all get to come into school and get breakfast and lunch and get the nourishment they need to function and pay attention and maintain a happy disposition. I believe all kids should have the same opportunity. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
