Tired, Hungry And Shamed: Pupil Poverty "Stops Learning". UK teachers report that this is increasing. Some students report they have had no food for two days, because their parents can't buy any.

The teachers can't do anything directly about the poverty; that requires electing a Labour government. But they may be able to do something about the shame. Being victimized by powerful greedy bastards is no reason to feel shame -- only anger.

I am not a teacher, so I am not an expert on what would work. Perhaps it would be useful to have students work in teams, each of which includes some destitute students as well as some who are better off.

I expect that something similar happens in the US. Can anyone send me an article from 2017, 2018 or 2019 about the effects of student poverty in the US?
