During the depression most kids went to school without shoes and I’m sure many of them were hungry. But they learned the basics of education that allowed them to pursue a better future.
Now we’re feeding their stomachs while starving their minds.

Hunger is a great motivator as well...also teaches gratefulness. I don't want kids to go hungry, but no way the gov't should be feeding them. Isn't that what our local churches are for?
I disagree. We need to have some sort of safety net for hungry children. Obviously, the churches didn’t do a very good job or there wouldn’t have been any intervention.
The churches and other organizations did a great job. Government stepped in, taxes increased to cover social programming costs, and church donations a long w donations to other charitable organizations decreased because people believe the government is taking care of people. Not its job. Not in the constitution. The federal government has two jobs. TWO. Protect its borders (so it can protect its people and their freedoms and liberties) and create and preserve infrastructure. That’s it. That’s the job. Shutter the DoE and all of the other BS government entities. The people will provide…they always do.
Not true in all cases. I taught special education and some of those children were horribly neglected or treated shabbily by their parents. In some cases, I cared about those children much more than their parents.
I have generations of teachers in my family. If course it isn't true in ALL CASES. I also think that gov stepping in to become parents makes hateful lazy parents instead of good ones. Sex education has nothing right about it as it lacks the ability to teach love and only sparks desires to satisfy self by teaching sexual grooming.

There was an intervention because the Democrats know how to pull up the heartstrings!
Churches aren't perfect. Churches demanded accountability.
My exact same thought. I went to a country school and there were lots of poor kids there and I don’t remember anyone going hungry.
I was going to say the very same thing!
Truth! And we're feeding them garbage to boot.
Those kids were more loved by parents than government teachers.

Children learn better when they’re a bit hungry. It is a fact.
