We can add this to Pretending President BO’s list of accomplishments.
The number of homeless children in public schools has doubled since before the recession, reaching a total of 1.36 million in the 2013-14 school year, according to new federal data.
The latest homeless count, an 8 percent increase over the 2012-13 school year, is a sign that many families continue to struggle financially even as the economy recovers from the housing collapse of 2008. And it offers a glimpse of the growing challenges that public schools face nationwide as they seek to educate an increasing number of low-income children.
The impact is profound on public schools, which struggle to try to address the needs of homeless children. Teachers often find themselves working not only to help children learn, but also to clothes them, keep them clean and counsel them through problems - including stress and trauma - that interfere with classroom progress.
Many schools receive federal funds meant to help connect homeless students with support services. But that federal funding has not kept pace with the increase need.

Our only hope is that the military gets tired of seeing our country destroyed from within and takes control. The 3 branches of our government are ineffective and running amok. Neither major political party has demonstrated that they can or will solve our problems.
Our problems can be summed up as CLAPS.
Corruption
Liberals
Apathy
Political Correctness
Stupidity
