吃不飽是一個很嚴峻的社會問題。 有小孩的,都知道學校有offer免費午餐,當然條件是小孩的家庭要窮。 周圍的這樣的窮人似乎很少,這是因為我們的住區通常都不是最差的。
最差的住區通常在city裏麵,大家或許不知道,city裏麵的學校,其實有兩個功能: 一個是提供教育、另一個就是提供食品。 小孩們知道,隻要去了學校,就會有飯吃,就這麽簡單。
舉個例子, DPS所有小孩都有早飯、午飯、下午茶。 雖然說regardless of income,但我估計去那裏讀書的絕大多數童鞋,基本上都在貧困標準以下。
Starting this fall, all Detroit Public Schools students in grades K-12 will receive breakfast, lunch and snacks at no charge in an effort to ensure all children receive healthy meals, regardless of income.
