Lunch Privileges Act
Students will be able to eat wherever they please and they will be able to leave the school during lunch. For the past two years, the number of students have increased at the Marietta High School. Because of this, a fourth lunch had to be added so there could be space for the students to eat. Although that made a major impact, the number of students continue to increase and there is still no space to eat. The students have only three designated areas where they are allowed to eat, the library, the cafeteria, and the senior courtyard ( If you are a senior). Some days the weather will conflict with the students that want to eat at the courtyard and they will have to sit either at
has to spend more money on changing school lunch system from eliminating unnecessary spending portion of system and create farming class. As reported by Cooper, “ The National School Lunch Program needs 8 billion dollars to feed 30 million children a year to serve high quality foods.” However, this price of amount has to be double to serve healthy foods to students because our next generation has to grow up with high quality foods not with low quality foods. Moreover, according to Cooper, the U.S. spends more than 100 million dollars on fast foods portion which the U.S. suppose to spend less amount of money on fast foods to improve the entire food system of the country. If the U.S. government lower the expense of fast food system and raises the amount of money for school lunches, entire schools of the U.S. would get positive results. For example, students could brainstorm very fast as Albert Einstein, and gain more energy to work out on their gym classes. Furthermore, school have to create agriculture class for students to have strong knowledges in foods. Students can literally be ware of what they eat at their lunch times; they will know vegetables grow in the ground and how foods are really fresh. Therefore, schools must provide farming class as in Berkeley; students have rights to know how foods are important to them. As a result, students could get a lot of benefits for changing school
To begin, the high school principles and the school district can put restrictions on who’s allowed to leave the campus for lunch. The student’s parents make the ultimate decision of whether they will allow their child to go off-campus for lunch. In order for students to go off-campus, they will need to have a written consent slip filled out by their parents and handed in to the office, as well as a pass when leaving campus. The students who are continuously tardy or absent should not be allowed to have this privilege. If the students are allowed to have off-campus lunch, so should the staff members. Although they’re staff they shouldn’t be treated any different, they should at least have a pass for leaving campus. Most importantly the students of Oak Creek High School should be at least 16 years of age, and must have good grades with a GPA of at least 2.8 or higher. Plus the school resource officers (SRO) may stop and question the students, at any time.
The right to the student should be guaranteed to open campus lunch. We are living in a failed experiment, that is the government controlling the school lunch. It is time to step out of the failed experiment and do another experiment, only this time successful. Student should be allowed to have open campus lunch.
For the majority of high school students having the option to go home for lunch or to go somewhere to eat would be the ultimate dream. High school students do not think about the dangers and worry that open campus lunch would cause for staff and parents. They do not think about the small sum of students who would spend that time doing drugs or making messes at local businesses. There would also be an amount of students who would not return, or they may be late returning to school due to traffic at fast food places. Faculty would also have the fret of an increase of car accidents caused from the limited time students would have to go wherever and get back before their next class. On the other hand, students would learn responsibilities and time management. Parents would be forced to give their children money to eat out. Along with the money on their school lunch accounts, or they would be apart of the free lunch school program. Schools cannot have open campus lunches
Some dining locations are open past 8:00 PM several nights of the week on-campus. However, many of these eating facilities are relatively unknown to a large portion of the underclassmen. Most are located under dorms and hidden from the student’s eyes. They are also incapable of holding a large amount of students simply because they don’t have the room.
The only way anyone would be allowed off campus is if they had a note from their parents or they called in with an exceptional reason, which is a custom rule in many schools around the nation. The part that is unfair is that no one is even allowed off campus at lunch. This is the part that many students object to and the reason the rule is so dreaded. Some say that they need closed campus for safety. In an article from the New York Times, Mr. Ivan Toper, the principal at White Plains High School, says, “the cafeteria was big enough to accommodate the students remaining on campus.” Mr. Toper goes on to say and, in this case, side with concerning parents, ''Your concerns with their safety against their need for freedom and responsibility.” Some big schools with huge safety issues may very well need the rule because of possible violence within the school and sometimes people come onto campus that aren't students. Another reason schools want to enforce the rule is to reduce car accidents during lunch. Many students are at the age where they can drive and some are still at a young age where they walk. If people who work and takes their cars or even walk to the nearest food stop, what makes people think students couldn't handle it? If anyone thinks that a closed campus rule would stop these people from being rebellious, they are highly mistaken. The morality of this is most people won't have school spirit even with closed campus; they'll be too busy dreading the fact that they have to stay at
Allowing healthier school lunches will decrease obesity in children because it will give them the proper nutrition to reduce the risk of health issues. Since obesity causes many health issues, maintaining a proper nutrition will reduce the risk of health issues. According to Star- Telegram, a daily newspaper that serves Fort Worth and areas of North Texas states, “[School lunches that have] a meal of pizza sticks, a banana, raisins and whole milk has given way to whole wheat spaghetti with meat sauce, a whole wheat roll green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, kiwi and low-fat milk … This change will help more than 2.4 million Texas students who receive a free or reduced- price school lunch to lead healthier, more active lives—in and out of the classroom”(Par. 2 and 4). School lunches are supposed to guarantee students a well balance meal, so they can have the energy to proceed with their classes throughout the day. Meanwhile, students who receive a f...
To solve this problem, we need the cafeteria to be open more hours. If it is because of the need of workers in those other times, it is a big change that even students won't mind to work in the cafeteria to have it open for longer hours. Another idea would be to have longer hours open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Even if it is not open for the whole day, longer hours might allow more comfort ability for everyone. We know that with out food, one cannot concentrate in their studies, nor perform their work well.
The student can now have a mental break. Lunch is a period of time not meant to be crowded with friends, food, school work, and everything else. It is a break to relax and do what the student would like to. Students can have extra time to eat now. The typical lunch period currently is around thirty minutes. Humans were not built to wait in a line to then devour food before having to leave. With an open campus lunch period the student can have some extra time to eat. Students can have a meet together or eat at a certain place together. Also students can choose varied foods, allowing them to have what is appetizing to them at that time. Or if the student want to leave school but not spend money they can eat or cook at home. Allowing the family to save money by not having to pay for school lunches. Plus the benefits are not just for
Low-cost meals are not worth the price of the medical bills that are promised to come and it is still very possible for schools to distribute nutritional lunches for an affordable price. It is necessary for legislation to make the change. Furthermore, it is ridiculous that emotional disorder numbers among adolescents have skyrocketed due to the lack body image, which is highly influenced by the way the eat. Therefore, it should be encouraged for schools to improve their meals, but that is only going to be achieved if a series are strict laws are placed, limiting calorie, sugar, fat, carbohydrate, pesticide, and other chemical intake. Lastly, Americans have always focused on exams and performance in a classroom environment, but they ignore the fact that what students eat, highly influence their performance. Ergo, increased meal funds would only benefit different school systems, through increased academic accomplishment rates. Although it is a grueling process to pass new regulations, it is vital for all students that school meals be improved in order to protect their physical and mental
In other words, the food is not delicious and there are not many choices. Also, when children don’t get proper nutrition, they have trouble focusing on school. Most students do not buy lunch because they feel it is unappealing and do not like the food served. Many students go to other kids and ask for food. In addition, many students do not eat breakfast, so they rely on lunch to fuel them for the day.
If they ban students it can cause parents to be mad because their kids are not being able to eat lunch there. It can also cause the business to lose 75% of its customers. Also kids need a good lunch to be able to go back into class and be able to focus.
I know how to solve this problem. Schools should have more food choices at lunch time. The Playwickian said, some students do not like what is on the menu, and they will not get enough food and be hungry. There are days that I do not like what is on the menu, and I go hungry.
Do you think there should be a law that requires restaurants and fast food places to post nutritional information, including calories, fat content, and sodium, on their menus? The U.S. government agrees that restaurant meals should be labeled too. There so numerous advantage to people. Labeling meals help people avoid food with trans fat, makes it easy for people to compare the nutrient content of different options, make it easier for people to navigate the many complicated decision we have to make every single day about what and how to eat. These are all reason why I think there should be a law that requires restaurants and fast food places to post nutritional information, including calories, fat content, and sodium, on their menus.
The cafeteria is not merely a place for small children; now that I am in college, I spend more time in the cafeteria than ever. Living in the dorms, I have no kitchen or any other place to cook. Instead, I have a meal plan that offers me fourteen meals each week at the Stanford/Hecht cafeteria. I eat lunch and dinner there as my two meals on most days. But, I do not and cannot go to the cafeteria and just get food. I get much more.
