Breakfast is very important for students, expecially before EOG's. If the parents don't feed them, and the schools have no money, then who will? And if they fail the EOG's because they can't think, who will be blamed? The teacher!
We are a nation of give me. I agree that children should have a balanced diet and of course 3 meals each day, that does not mean 3 trips to mcdonalds,or wendys,or sonic, which sems to be the trend. You can visit many homes in Richmond County,with big screen t v s ,xbox 360s,a pile of video games ,another pile of rented movies and no food in the house. Please tell me how it is the goverments job to feed the children that parents have gotten food stamps to feed, but sold them or traded them for drugs and booze? we have evolved into a society of thinkers who feel everything is the goverments job and responsibility. The parents for the most part still act like the children they have sired. they place value on a pair of jordans, over feeding their children a balanced healthy breakfast. As a tax payer I resent standing in line at a local store watching a family go through the checkout with a buggy loaded with snacks and junk foods, that I am paying for and cant afford for myself.The blame for this short fall in our system lays only in one place, the parents.
On End of Grade Testing actually you are right, it could be the teachers fault but don't leave the parent out of this equation.
On the subject of schools having enough money you are wrong. Have you not been watching the news and reading the newspapers. The state will be loosing 12,000 educators next year and on top of that the educators that are lucky enough to have a position may have to take up to a 10% pay cut and 10 furlough days. I just feel my taxes are high enough.

Not in any way is this wrong because schools get enough tax money to be able to provide a nutritional brefast to students if not avaliable at home.
And if students do fail end of grade testing it could be the teachers fault or there own.
