In this video, Miss Montgomery recounts a personal encounter with a foster‑care student named Brandon. After promising to keep him in her class, she notices he stops attending school. When he finally contacts her, he explains that his foster‑care placement locks away all food in the morning and, because the agency never received the required paperwork, he is denied lunch. He expresses hunger and frustration, and Miss Montgomery reacts with anger and vows to address the situation. The anecdote illustrates systemic failures in providing meals to foster children, the emotional impact on educators, and serves as a call for policy change to ensure food security for youths in foster care.
