A teacher has vowed to pay off every single one of his students' meal debts so their parents don't have to worry about feeding their children while they're at school. Gabe Segal, who works at Herndon Middle School, in Virginia, America, could end up parting with more than $10,000 (£8,210) after making this promise to his students.
The 29-year-old has seen children practically falling asleep in his class because they didn't have enough energy - or calories - in their bodies to keep them going throughout the school day. He told The Washington Post: "If I check in on one of the students I mentor and they’re having a rough day, usually the first thing I ask is, 'Did they eat?' Predominantly the answer is, 'No'.
