Many Kids are too Hungry to Learn
Teachers say they see way too many kids that are “too hungry to learn.” The No Kid Hungry organization is an organization that works to end child hunger. The organization surveyed teachers about hungry children in their classes. The amount of hungry children teachers see each day is alarming. There are too many kids learning hungry each day and we need to do something to stop this.
The No Kid Hungry organization surveyed more than 1,000 teachers. Seventy-three percent of those teachers say they regularly teach kids who are struggling with hunger at home. Some of these teacher say they buy food for these kids. The money for this food comes from their own pockets. These teachers say that this food is necessary for these kids to learn.
The amount of kids that are too hungry to learn hasn’t gone down. In August 2015, a new research found that three out of five teachers regularly teach hungry kids. This could be that the economic recovery programs has not reached those low income families yet. This number isn’t decreasing. These low income families are still in tough times.
We need to help these low income families. We need to help them get to a more stable financial state. If they are able to do so, they won’t have to send their kids to school hungry. These kids then will be able to learn better. They won’t be “too hungry to learn.”
