    I agree in principle, but then the “boost attendance” quote seems to suggest that more kids are coming rather than the same kids are performing better, suggesting food is genuinely problem for a lot of families

      It should also be that if attendance is mandatory then a free lunch should be provided.

        Same rule as long running meetings, actually. Could call it the unified law of mandatory snacks.
