Lately, the board members at Hatch Valley High School are not liking the idea of an open campus for lunch. The topic of discussion has been to have a closed campus. Closed campus is not a good idea and it is not needed at Hatch Valley High School. First of all, lunches offered by the school are not appetizing. Second, students need to be able to leave school for a bit for some type of relaxation. Lastly, some students may have responsibilities to take care of during those 30 minutes of lunch. As I mentioned earlier, school food is not appetizing. Most of the lunches are served everyday. There is not much variety to choose from either. This is when going off campus would be good. Students would be able to get better food with more options to choose from. There are also the students who go home for …show more content…
A lot of students need to be able to take care of their responsibilities. Sometimes, my father is not always in town to pay the water bill, this is where I come in. The time given to us during lunch is the time that I use to go and pay that water bill. There are also those students who have sick and/or elderly relatives that need assistance. Students are able to leave campus to go help their relative with whatever they may need. Do you like puppies? Cats maybe? Well, guess what? There are students who need to feed their pets. If you have a pet, you wouldn’t want it to starve all day till you get home from school would you? I know I wouldn’t. A lot of students take the time to go home and feed their animals during lunch time. Overall, closed campus would be a terrible idea. You would be stopping students from paying bills and running their errands. They wouldn’t be able to go home and relax for a bit like they need to. They aren’t able to help their loved ones or feed their animals that they have at home. The school food is terrible with no variety to choose from. Closed campus should not be enforced here at Hatch Valley High
Most students would love to have off-campus lunch, just like many other students at other schools or in other countries do. If the other schools in the country offer an open-campus lunch, why can’t the Oak Creek High School student body also have an open-campus lunch? With certain restrictions, policies, and rules set, the student body and faculty of Oak Creek High School should be allowed the privilege of an open-campus lunch program. So if the student body is responsible and capable of handling these privileges, why can’t the Oak Creek High School student body and faculty also have an open-campus lunch?
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.
Wandering kids. Bumper to bumper traffic. Drug dealing. Is this the picture drawn when local students have fifty minutes of freedom during lunch to do whatever they please? Students should not be allowed to leave their school campus during lunch. An open campus would lead to truancy, disturb local businesses and neighborhoods, and cause crime.
I don't think our school lunch is healthy because it has fat and too much sodium. Although it is good it is fattening it is the reason for much of the obesity in the U.S. Many kids have no other option to eat the unhealthy school lunches or they will be hungry.
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
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
Recently closed campus has been an argument at our school lately. Should a student have the choice to leave campus? Yes it’s a great idea but lately the school board has been putting it in our heads that that is a bad idea. Students love an open campus it gives them variety. They hate the idea of eating the same unappealing meal every day. Lunch gives students a moment to blow off steam and have some free time. Open campus gives students the time to learn to be more responsible.
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.
Many high schools nationwide are extremely large, and with that comes large classes, high competition in extracurricular activities, and extreme overcrowding in places such as the hallways and especially the cafeteria. Some students skip lunch or even eat in a teacher’s room just because they cannot find a table or space to sit at their allotted time for lunch and want to avoid the extreme chaos of lunch. This issue isn’t just occurring in places far away but happens right here in Belton because of the size of the high school. Although, many believe it could be fixed by a simple change, by allowing the senior class of that year to have off campus lunch. Making that change would reduce the number of students who attend lunch by at least 300 students, thus drastically changing the size of each lunch time making it more efficient and less crowded.
Lunch is one of the most important meals of the day and is consumed mostly in school cafeterias for children and adolescence. Wholesome lunches are vital in maintaining a healthy metabolism and give children energy for the rest of the school day. Children are advised to eat healthily but do not always do so because the choices of tastier, fatty foods offered in school cafeterias. The National School Lunch Program, NSLP, which is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools set nutritious guidelines for lunches served in school cafeterias (USDA). However, school campuses still offer foods high in fat as well as selling candy, chips, and soda in their vending machines, as well as their school shops. In order
Ever have to choose what students want for lunch? Is it healthy or unhealthy? Schools need to realize that not many students eat as it is, and changing the school menus is only going to increase the amount of students not wanting to eat school lunch. Changing the school menu would make students skip school and go get fast food, and then get in trouble for skipping. Starvation would become a big role in the school. For kids that have a lot of money to eat out. So, yes changing the menu can be a bad idea for the school and the students.
With the implementation of the “Healthy Kids Hunger-Free Act” schools are not serving as many lunches and participation is decreasing. According to the Government Accountability Office (GOA), “Nationwide, student participation declined by 1.2 million students(or 3.7 percent) from school year 2010-2011 through school year 2012-2013, after having increased steadily for many years”(sec. 1). The school lunches became more distasteful and bland; the combinations of foods did not make sense, and the portion sizes decreased significantly. In order to support the cafeteria
I feel like there should be a change in the school lunch menus. I did some research regarding school lunches and other people agree with the fact that school lunches should be changed. The school meat is very horrific and i feel that it is not safe for students to digest it. For example the government found out ingredients in the chicken sandwich had dozens of ingredients including MSG. MSG is very bad for students because it causes allergic reactions, upsets the stomach, and it causes muscle tightness and fatigue. Toxic GMO or Genetically Modified Organisms are all over school food. The corn that they feed students are mostly GM corn, which the purpose of it is to kill pests by bursting the stomach of bugs who feed on the corn. By letting
Not only do students save time, but now students have the benefit of having a variety to choose from. Having multiple private food vendors on campus gives students a variety to choose from rather than just the usual. Students typically get tired of eating the same food. For instance, eating the same old breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day can make eating dreadful. Just like when a mom feeds her child last night 's leftovers. Eating just isn 't the same which is why students need a variety on campus. Now that there is a diversity of foods students are likely to stay on campus, which is beneficial if a student has back to back classes. Also, now that students have a variety to choose from, students can replenish their taste buds and keep themselves pleased. One other perk to having a variety is students can have a place they really enjoy. For instance, everyone has a favorite place to go to that is impossible to get sick of, it is very possible
Breakfast is the first meal of the day and has always been said to be the most important. This meal is proven to promote better attitudes towards the day and gives people more energy for the day. Eating breakfast is supposed to prepare you for the day and promote better choices when it comes to choosing what to eat for the rest of the day. For some people eating breakfast isn’t a choice when it comes to weak stomachs not being able to handle the earliness of the meal, but what are the true benefits of eating breakfast? Studies show that breakfast is healthy for you, but making the healthy choices that make breakfast is what really proves its importance. Students are definitely affected if they don’t eat breakfast. Breakfast is a great way
