Many
hundreds of Dutch school children come to school without having eaten breakfast,
unwashed and in tattered clothes. These
results were taken from research conducted by RTL on Dutch elementary
schools. 160 elementary schools reported
a total of 1,100 cases of children which do not get their basic needs met at
home, such as enough food and decent clothes.
When they arrive to school, they are not bathed and their teeth are not
brushed. The 160 schools have mentioned that
they have 1-20 such children in their school. The phenomenon is nationwide. Poverty often plays a role, as well as
alcoholism and parental neglect. Also,
in rich families, parents are sometimes so busy that the children have nothing but junk
food for breakfast.
