By 1915 nearly 1 million were receiving it. HOWEVER not many people in those days lived to 70, it was not much and could be removed in ‘undeserving’ cases. • YOUNG, 1906 Free School Meals: Free school meals given to children and studies showed that during the holidays children’s health declined rapidly showing just how important these free means were to children’s health. However, up until 1914 it was up to the local authorities to provide this kind of care and many didn’t do that leaving lots of children malnourished. 1907 School Medical Inspections: Doctors and nurses were sent to school to inspect children and identify a health problem if one.
The rise of the Labour party was a crucial factor for the drive of reform for the Liberal party. The new Labour Party promised social reform and the Liberals were worried about losing votes. Reform could therefore be seen as a rather selfish, political advantageous response to political change. Since 1884, most working class men had the vote and the Liberals wanted to attract those votes. So therefore it was for their own political advantage of the Liberal government to offer social reform, even if they did not fully believe in the principle of government intervention in people’s everyday lives.
One of the first successes the government made was dealing with social reform. This was due to a new legislation they passed that forced employers to grant one days rest per week for every worker. This was beneficial because people were not constantly working, getting run down and ill. This also meant they had more time to spend with their families. The government also outlawed the employment of children under 12.
Year Round School Year-Round School for grades K-12 would do nothing but deprive the children of their youth. I. Primary reason for supporters of year-round education have for switching from a traditional calendar is that they believe that year-round schooling can offer students a better education. a. It has been proven in the mid-90s by a Dr. Gary Peltier in the article (Year Round School is not a good Idea) that when the scores of year-round school students were compared to those of traditional calendar students, no significant difference was seen.
1 Wow. After doing this 3-day nutrition assessment that is all I have to say. I actually thought I was a nutritious person, but I can see now that I really am not. In “My Plate” I fell really short in the vegetables, fruits, and dairy daily intake. I took in only 23% of the recommended vegetables, which actually really surprises me because, recently, I have been switching out my snack of choice for carrots, so I thought that would have been beneficial to me for this assignment; it doesn’t look like that was the case.
For a school to be reimbursed a vegetable does not need to be eaten and is often not required as a part of lunch. Schools allow the students options allowing for less waste and therefore more money. When choosing what food to serve the options are selected with the objective that the students must take an entrée and a side for the meal to be reimbursable. “The National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs cost a total of $11.7 billion a year. By comparison, healthcare spending on obesity is already $147 billion” “Healthcare costs are 42% higher for someone who is obese – that’s over $1,400 each” (Oliver, Killer Facts, para.
For sure children shouldn’t attend Year- Round School. The other reason why traditional 10 months school should be saved is our teenagers. Nowadays teenagers want to buy a lot of different things. Not all of the parents can afford it. So many students work in the summer time.
Arzu Shamsi Usually when a parent sends their child to school they expect the lunches to be a balanced, healthy choice and a decent portion right? Little do they know that school lunches are not what they seem to be. (1)”Schools that are federally funded must follow guidelines regarding the lunch it serves in schools”. Most schools follow these guidelines but are these guidelines really the best choice for your child or are there healthier alternatives to these choices? (1)“Studies have shown that there are, in fact, healthier alternatives to these school lunch programs.” Although these programs are more expensive for the school, they are nutritious and well worth putting a little more money into changing.
I think that income has no bearing on a parent’s personal decision for their children’s weight. In many instances obesity in children can be avoided but I believe it has a lot to do with heritage. Some parents are overweight themselves and have bad eating habits and that in fact can be a balance on their children. The government has instilled many programs such as WIC. This program is designed to help women provide a healthy meal for their children, one of the requirements on this program is that the mother can only purchase nutritious items such as low fat milk, a sugar free cereal.
Healthy eating is not one of them at least not in the first years of school. I agree that a 7 year old won’t care about the subject like a 13 year old. According to an article called The School Cafeteria by Mary Bryan in 1988, it says that students should still be given healthy food choices at their school cafeteria because a young child growth mentally and physically is influenced by the healthy food they eat. According to a book called Foods for home and schools by Carlotta Greer in 1994, it states that a student’s test score improves when they are given a healthy meal before test. Some people say kids are our future.
