and there is no one to save you at night
I currently work in a school with low demographics... I don't care how many games they have...some have their own lawyer, that's the kind of parenting they receive...they come late daily...they are off sick frequently...they are violent./aggressive in class, they swear, they are defiant, they have zero fear of authority, because who would be afraid of a teacher or a cop when you've been removed from your home and fostered and returned again multiple times and you are only 8, but you know to tell the 4 year old to button up and put their little mitts on because it is cold outside, so although you are only 8 one minute you know how to parent the little ones and the next you haul off and whack them because that's what adults in your little world do...they hit you, they hug you, they swear at you, they humiliate you, they make you feel everything that is wrong in their world is your little fault...then they bring you Mcdonald's to school and don't feed you on the weekend because no one will know....they come without lunch and mum delivers McDonald's sometimes 2 hours after lunch has ended, and she yells at you lots and you are so confused and angry and hurt ...

I grew up in that type of city. Google Brockton Mass. I know exactly where you are coming from. I commend you for staying in that line of work. For me... I grew up with those kids. I certainly wasn't one of them in the sense that I had their home life.
We aren't the heartless ones... the fault lays elsewhere... not with the ones that are disgusted with it. You've already identified who the problem is... and they are enabled by a system that allows them to go on with that type of behavior.
We have every right to be skeptical about this.

pain is pain, and if we have the ability to relieve it we should even if it's a small bit of kindness for a kid who usually gets yelled at because he is always doing something wrong
that's something these kids have taught me, even the smallest kindness matters
you have no idea what I have an idea about because you have never asked but you have already decided and formed your conclusion and because it differs from yours I am already wrong and there is zero you can benefit from when you already know the other is wrong...I can accept that quite easily....but thus there is little point in further discussion about hungry kids...

I'd been to Africa, Central Asia, South America and it wasn't until going to Guatemala until I'd seen heart breaking poverty. Mom bringing McDonalds is luxurious over eating dirt.Exactly.

and yes some will be useless parents, drug addicted, poverty stricken, abusers...and a few will find a mentor and a heart and they will make the world a better place
and that's all that matters because we all have our own journey
and no you don't get it
I don't teach them...I'm just the office safe zone...they teach me

People make bad decisions and ain't responsible because government are always there bailing them out.
The kids are suffering because nothing ever forced their parents to grow up and be responsible parents.
You don't get that Sal?

children should not have to suffer through a parents poor choice nor should they suffer because of a parents bad luck. Who is to decide what is a bad choice or bad luck?
A child that does suffer becomes an adult who suffers.
