It would good if schools started the day with a good breakfast especially in areas where children may arrive having eaten little or nothing. I agree with you 100%
Don't know if you have ever watched Melissa Harris-Perry on MSNBC....the majority of the time she is about as liberal as it gets, but there are times she makes some points I completely agree with, and that is one of them.
Hell, the other day I made some people wait five minutes before the start of a morning meeting so I could down some orange juice and a bagel.
I'll admit I never pass up a chance to remind people of this - that's why I'm proud of the years I spent in the WIC program (Women, Infants, and Children nutritional supplement program here in the U.S.) The development of a kid's brain and central nervous system is huge in those first few years, and food plays a huge role.
