Real-Life Hunger Games: Childhood Hunger in America | SCHOOLSin Session Blog: "65 percent of America’s teachers regularly see kids who come to school hungry because they aren’t getting enough to eat at home, according to a nationwide survey conducted by Share Our Strength, a nonprofit dedicated to ending childhood hunger.
If we want to improve the education system, we must ensure that every student is nourished. A hungry child can’t concentrate on math class, because he’s thinking about what’s for lunch. A hungry child acts out with classmates, because her starving brain simply can’t focus. A hungry child is more likely to be late for school and sleep in class, because the body requires too much energy to wake up and stay alert."
