Try and learn a new or difficult concept on an empty stomach. It’s virtually impossible to be anywhere near your best when you’re hungry:
An increasing number of pupils in Scotland are going to school hungry and in some cases are stealing food from classmates, according to teachers.
Teaching union the EIS carried out a survey as part of its work on tackling the impact of poverty in schools.
About half (51%) of those questioned reported a rise in pupils coming to school without any food.
The survey also found an increase in those taking free school meals and attending breakfast clubs.
More than 300 primary and secondary teachers responded to the autumn survey by the country’s largest teaching union.
One in five (19%) identified an increase in the number of incidents of children asking for food and even stealing food from other pupils.
