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.

    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

  • Off Campus Lunch Case Study

    1083 Words  | 3 Pages

    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.

    Healthy school lunches would help students academically. There is not a teacher who would want their students to be distracted. Often when children are hungry, because of a light lunch, or a lunch full of simple carbohydrates, they will become distracted. If schools serve lunches with whole grains and protein, the students would stay full and attentive much longer than a student with a lunch of sugar, white bread, and lush greens. Although many believe that schools should provide a healthy lunch for students, there is a small percentage which feels that because of the budget cuts, schools should not pay for more expensive and healthier food. Shereen Jegtvig, a nutritionist, wrote "Appleton, Wisconsin replaced their regular poor-quality school lunches with healthy fresh food…changes resulted in improved b...

    School lunches are to provide nourishment for students so they can excel in the classroom and on the field, not leave them broken down and tired for the rest of the day. Poor nutrition standards allow for school lunches to offer the minimum requirement to students. The quality of food is diminished with pesticides and other harmful chemicals, which also does not provide enough nutrients for students’ brains and bodies to grow and mature at a healthy rate, and finally the amount of food given to students is not adequate for every student, because every person is different, the amount of food given to each student should be different as well. Once these things are addressed, school lunch can change for the better and provide the nutrition needed for every student to achieve greatness and someday be a future leader of

  • School Lunches: The Health Of School Lunches

    The health of school lunches has been a very controversial topic among students, parents, schools, and the government. Parents want their children to be healthy, but at a low cost. It seems that the “healthier” the school lunches are, the more they cost and the less kids want to eat them. Also, the proportions of food may not be enough to fill the students’ stomachs. Many children also have food allergies and other medical conditions that may need to be accommodated. Many parents feel that the lunches being served to their children are unhealthy and overpriced. Although the government and schools seem to be trying to fix these problems, some parents say they are not making much progress.

    One reason our school should get a new lunch menu is many students do not like the food served. For example, a survey was taken and of the 31 students 100% said they disliked the food. As student Bryan Huang said, “The lunches are horrible, they need better choices and more choices.” 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 in 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. But, if they do not like the food served they won’t eat so they starve for the rest of the school day, which can

But, I do not and cannot go to the cafeteria and just get food. I get much more.
