Across the country today, schools and school nutrition personnel are celebrating National School Breakfast Week, an opportunity to shine a light on the importance of school breakfast and its role in preparing our students to learn each morning. In Maryland, while we have made record investments in our public schools and worked to ensure that our educators are prepared to teach students to succeed in a 21st Century economic climate, this week also serves as an important reminder that all of those efforts are for nothing if we are unable to meet one of a child’s most basic needs: proper nutrition.
When the O’Malley-Brown Administration launched the Partnership to End Childhood Hunger in Maryland in 2008, we did so because we believed that it was within our capacity and our compassion as Marylanders to ensure that no child goes hungry in this state. Recognizing that hunger can manifest itself in our youngest citizens in so many different ways, including in our classrooms, we have implemented a variety of strategies to increase school breakfast participation in an effort to ensure that children who may arrive at school without eating breakfast at home are still equipped to succeed.
This is a no brainer. While childhood hunger isn't exactly a problem facing this country due to the handouts available, this should be addressed. The problem is the liberal politically correct crowd does it all wrong which has proven to only perpetuate the problem. What needs to happen for real progress to occur is to start telling Baby Momma and Daddy the way it is and not what they want to hear. Let them know what irresponsible pieces of garbage they are for even bringing a child into the world when they can't even take care of themselves. They need to be humiliated and put in their places.
heres a thought o'faily, have you and your boyfriend obama bin laden stop sending billions to help countries out in civil wars and use that billions to help hunger here in our own country...
Childhood hunger cannot possibly exist. I am not heartless but Americans have been given more entitlements than ever before. Schools have breakfast/lunch programs and there are churches who give handouts.
If their parents are unemployed then perhaps the state should start finding jobs. Now how about that for a new concept? JOBS? Could you even imagine that this could be a helpful strategy.
Gosh, 1245, where in the heck did you ever get that idea? Nobody ever thought of that yet; we all thought outsourcing all jobs to foreign countries would make everything here cheaper, which it did, but now nobody has jobs so they can buy the Chinese made crap.
