Recommended: College open campus policy

Dear Mr.Johnson,

This Letter is on the issue of closed campus, in my opinion this should

not even be an issue. County High Scholl students should be able to go out

during lunch, we have a right to choose what we pay for and we have the right to

seek a comfortable environment. I have very strong reasons to back up my opinion.

If I want to not wait in line for at least five to eight minutes for

food I must skip the trip to my locker and lag around a heavy bag which has my

first, second, third and fourth hour books in it. This brings up another

serious problem in Haslett schools; room! In four corners it's practically a

mosh pit after every hour, this is a whole separate problem which needs

immediate attention. Once I finally get my lunch I have a second much harder

task to tackle; finding a seat. The Cafeteria is way over capacity and simply

can't handle the amount of people that is must. After I have everything I can

start eating, by this time I have wasted away twenty minutes of my precious

lunch period. Mr.Johnson, this is just not a suitable lunch arrangement.

I must mention of second problem with lunchtime, this is even more

pressing than the first. Lunch Prices have been growing drastically and with no

reason at all, this could mean the school is pressed for money so you look for

the simple solution and make us, the consumers, pay more. I have heard that

this large amount of extra money is going towards better quality food; get real

folks how can you improve the quality of fries and pizza? And what can the

students do about this? Packing a lunch could solve some problems but this is a

major inconvenience to most. With today's busy life style people just don't

have the time to pack lunches. Instead we students are forced to deal with over

crowded lunch rooms and incredibly unfair prices. Mr. Johnson this is just not

suitable for a highly rated school system such as ours.

I believe that when a young adult is denied much of his or her freedom

it has a rather disappointing outcome. Put your self in my shoes for a short

time, if you were not allowed to do anything much more than do homework and stay

in the house day and night what would you do? I would abuse my freedoms the

second and was able to and probably destroy my body in the process.

  • School Lunch-Shaming Argument Analysis

    Though proponents of this method argue that it has lowered meal debt and the amount of families failing to pay, Stacy Koltiska refutes this claim by saying: “[The ones making these policies] are suits at a board meeting… They are not the ones facing a child and looking them in the eye and taking their food away.” While it is irrefutable that debt in schools is a problem that must be tackled, it is not a justifiable excuse to take a child’s midday meal out of his or her hands and throw it into a trash can because his or her parents can not put money into their child’s lunch account. There is no excuse for denying a child a hot meal or making them go hungry during the school day for something that is not their fault. Their dietary and nutritional needs are not a bargaining tool for the school system to use under any

    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

  • An Open Campus is a Bad Idea

    657 Words  | 2 Pages

    Truancy can occur among students if an open campus is accepted. If students have the privilege to leave school for fifty whole minutes on their own, then they have the freedom to not come back. It would break the trust between students and educators, and harsher rules would have to be enforced on the open campus rule. Numerous students who decide to ditch the remaining periods would have an excessive amount of in-school absences. This could lead to parent conferences and suspension, and possibly expulsion in some cases. When a student misses or skips a class, the information taught that day would not be accessible in the same format which others have learned. One?s academic grades can be effected from lack of information by truancy. Irresponsible students who choose to take the risk of leaving their school after lunch for the remainder of the day will not have this opportunity if an open campus is kept closed.

    Every student in all grades were able to leave during the time a scheduled class did not occupy. (Saslow, Linda. “Schools split on “open campus” NYtimes.com). Open campus lunch is the allowance of high school students to leave off the premises to a local restaurant for the duration of lunch. School districts in America have opposed open campus lunch benefits due to common knowledge and concern for potential student endangerment. A reason why schools should change educational environment would be to accommodate what students’ need to create comfortable working conditions. Old school methods included the repetitive process of helping students through daily material every day of the week with one break. Off campus school lunch was an unknown factor to high schools back

    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

    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.

Subsequently, over the last several months I have been battling with internal triggers, such as anxiety, frustration, flashbacks and sadness that all relates to my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) disability. Primarily, I have come to recognize that these internal triggers were offset by external triggers that referenced back to personal experiences that I endured in the United States Army.

  • Persuasive Essay On School Nutrition

    2446 Words  | 5 Pages

    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

    Why is this a problem? Cafeteria food is often cheap, bought in bulk, high in calories, malnutritious, and microwaved. Student polls and opinions prove this. Therefore, this leads to a suggestion: Healthier, tastier foods and a better, more advanced lunch system should be implemented. First of all, students aren’t motivated to eat unhealthy, not-tasty food.
