The old way of providing breakfast to hungry kids was by making them come to the cafeteria before school starts. But it didn't work-just 22 percent of kids were taking advantage of it.
Every study shows that more kids take advantage of breakfast offered in the classroom, not only alleviating hunger but also leading to improvements in reading and math scores, attendance, punctuality, and fewer examples of depression, anxiety and hyperactivity.
By making breakfast available in the classroom, the state can access $71 million in previously unused federal funds-funds that are harder to come by than ever.
Issues like hunger are extremely important but not when it comes to elections. When people step into the voting booth, they have maybe a few things in mind: political party, basic impressions of each candidate's character.
