There’s a word in the dictionary called “empathy”. You should look it up and try to practice it.

How about organizing a fund raiser to pay for them? When did empathy require tax dollars? Get the people involved who would like to see these in the schools.

Yet kids still go to school hungry. It is not the kids' fault, it is the parents responsibility though.

It is embarrassing as hell to go to school dirty and disheveled. And hungry and poor.

I am not opposed to these solutions to these problems but one of the main problems in many (but not all) cases, poor parenting, never gets well addressed. Slippery slope. You can have good parents you can have loving parents and if you are lucky, you have two good and loving parents. A lot of these kids simply don't.

Wayne will say it is Conservative's fault.

Same thing that he would say to or about Progressives. Something like "Render therefore to Trump the things that are Trump's; and to God, the things that are God’s,"

Public school systems are a mess. Taxpayers have dumped tons of money into them - some programs work, but many don't. Ask any teacher in communities that have problems. Major issues are disruptive children in the learning environment and student absenteeism. School administrations hands are tied when they try to boot disruptive kids out of school and hold parents/guardians responsible for attendance. It's a very complex problem. Is shouldn't be any surprise why responsible parents/guardians are opting for private school or home schooling.

leftists heard about this and are addressing the problem as only leftists can...

April 23 2019
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The California State Senate voted to ban schools and principals from suspending students for “willful defiance” of teachers, staff, and administrators.

The Senate approved SB 419 Monday by a vote of 30-8. It moves to the Assembly next.

And conservatives are doing what they do best .. nothing. because nothing motivates the base like blaming liberals for all the country's issues .. yet never providing a plan themselves. Unless it has the word cut remove defund ..

Must be nice for conservatives to not have anyone on assistance.. who support their party ...

The party of the fetus... cherished in the womb hated in the light . It's all so transparent..
