I wish all parents were as concerned with making sure their children were educated as you are. Sadly, as csgray says, not all (and in some places very few) parents take this responsibility as seriously as you do. Given that, what do you think the education system should do - ignore the problem or try to address it? Honestly, I keep cases of microwavable soup, granola bars and fruit cups in my room for the students who come to school without a lunch, and this is in a mostly fairly affluent neighborhood. Imagine the kids coming to school from under a tarp in Fern Forest. It's probably a miracle they make it at all.
