This is one of the most damning videos I have ever been drawn to watch. I am still crying for the pain of it; not just the pain caused to myself but that pain caused to the smallest of these children. In a land of the free and home of brave people, it is such a heated curse that we cannot find the obvious places to put our scholarships.
For the universities who have billions of assets and who increase their assets exponentially upon each developed alumni they post part, why shouldn't they decide to give out one less full scholarship to a high school person and put that one amount toward a single meal for one of these least, who will, by unhindered-study become one of their next high-schoolers who they will accept into their own higher learnings. (it isn't that we don't see universities doing a lot of good things at the top; it is that we don't see them doing so many good small money things at the bottom of the educational society.)
I don't know how I missed this story. Even before I retired, I have watched daily more than 30 videos, and perused the equivalent of 26 books a month for the youth I care for and help raise. That I am late in weighing in on this one is a 'sorry.' Be assured, not only did I read this story, but I have also stood up and written about it,—and have done some math regarding solutions: For as I have always written and explained to my students during the ten years past, it is impossible to do real reading without writing, and writing without doing the math—impossible!
