Universal snack access removes the stigma of \"having\" vs. \"not having\". When everyone eats together no one feels singled out for their economic situations. \r\n\r\nThose snacks are not just food: they are a tool for classroom management, an investment in equity, and a direct boost to every students' ability to learn.
