[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So am I right that the question is [b]"should we feed hungry children if it doesn't increase their test scores[/b]?"[/quote] Ok, my question is how many of these children are truly "hungry"? I hate to be crass, but we all know that low income kids are much more likely to be obese, and I have worked in schools with low income children, and I have seen many of them (talking about upper elementary kids) bring their own lunches to school instead of pack. It's obvious that some of these kids are packing their own lunch because I have seen lunches that consist of a ziploc bag of sugary cereal and oreos. Obviously this does not apply to all kids, but I will say that in my experience of working with low income kids, I have never encountered a situation where I thought the kids were going hungry.
