The effect of breakfast after the bell on student academic achievement
Evaluation of Delivering Breakfast After the Bell and Academic Performance Among Third‐Grade Children
BACKGROUND: Breakfast after the bell (BAB), an alternative way to deliver breakfast after the school day begins, has been shown to increase participation in the School Breakfast Program.

We find that remittances reduce child labor but not schooling. Relative to their mean participation shares, these impacts are larger for…
