Too Hungry to Think...

Many families today have problems making ends meet. Ever since our economy has taken a big hit other families such as middle class family have found it hard to provide for their loved ones. Everything is going up in our economy and trying to meet the most basic of needs has become a grueling task. I did some research and found a website with a food bank locator. The website is http://www.secondharvest.org/. It is user friendly. All you have to do is type in your zip code or enter your state. This organization helps feed those in need. The reason why I decided to write about this is because many students come to school without breakfast and in certain instances they haven had anything all weekend. So, that means that Monday morning can be very difficult for the student and teacher. It doesn’t mean that the student doesn’t want to learn… he or she is simply hungry. If the simplest of needs i.e. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs are not met than the student will not be able to properly learn the lesson. This will make the teacher’s job difficult. I just wanted to make people aware of the problem some families face and to show that there are organizations that will help these families.
