From the earliest days of OLDaily I've been saying that there's no technology that will do more to support learning than one ensuring that children are properly fed. So I applaud the extension of the nutrition program in the U.S. and argue it should be made permanent. "Students' success in the classroom goes hand in hand with their ability to access basic needs like healthy and nutritious meals. It's critical that our efforts to reopen schools quickly and safely include programs that provide access to free, healthy meals for our most vulnerable students." My view is that a lot of 'educational reform' is nothing more than a dance allowing people to sidestep the basic need to address issues of poverty. But maybe in the last year we've learned that the health of one is the health of all. See also: school lunches from around the world.
