...the information given about Lacy Elementary School, there are some concerns about the cafeteria situation. Student characteristics can be affected by their surroundings. At Lacy Elementary School, one main concern is the school is overcrowded. The school was built to hold approximately 500 students but it currently over capacity by approximately 150 students. Even though a lot of students tend to not eat breakfast, at Lacy Elementary, it is just the opposite. The bulk of the students come to eat breakfast which is a great way to start the day. According to Basch, skipping breakfast “has a negative impact on academic achievement by adversely affecting cognition and absenteeism” (Basch, 2011). Students sit quietly, talk and finish their homework during the breakfast session. The majority of the students discard their trash in the appropriate places. When it is time for the students to leave and go to class, students aren’t too noisy and exit the cafeteria appropriately. During lunch shift, the students’ actions are completely different. Since there are only 2 lunch shifts, the cafeteria is over crowded with students. Students walk around from table to table, shout, push students, and some students work on homework instead of eating. When exiting the cafeteria from lunch, some students push other students, they create a bottleneck around the door way, and some students run towards their next destination....

...There has been a huge debate between students and the school board at hatch valley high on the idea of closing the campus off from all students during lunch. This method is not needed nor does it need to be enforced for many reasons . one reason is the school food is not appetizing to the students. Also most of the students want to relax during lunch time and mainly get out if the school and relax. Lastly some students also have to be responsible and maybe run errands for their parents during lunch time . For many students eating the lunch that the school provides its not something they enjoy doing. Students often say that the food that the school provides is nasty and disgusting they also believe that there are not enough food for them to keep a healthy diet. For example an athlete has to consume more food than a regular student and some time the lunches provided at the school don't allow them to do that. Many of the students love to go off campus and eat because they have a wide variety of restaurants...

...One school rule that the principal should change is allowing students to leave campus for lunch because the school food can have a lot of of grease and sugar and could get a student sick. Students can get sick from school food because the lunch ladies does not know what the food came from or have inside. Many students in the world get sick of the food because the food might not be cook right and raw. Or the lunch ladies could still cook the food even though it could be bad. For example when i was in 6 grade this grade beside me was eating an hamburger from the lunch school and i was eating a sandwich that my mom made for me suddenly the girl started feeling bad after 3 hours she throw up at the class. The next thing she went to the nurse...

...cafeteria and the gym? If you go there and look down, I guarantee there is a stain on the ground somewhere. Someone is always intentionally emptying a container of some drink on the ground. Ever since the new lunch system was established, where sixth graders have first lunch and seventh and eighth graders share second lunch, all three lunch eating areas have been packed during second lunch. Without fail, a disastrous mess is left behind once lunch ends, most severely in the cafeteria but also in the West patio. The worst part is, there is very little trash, but the majority of the debris is food. Food fighting and wasting in general has become widespread during lunch, especially common in the cafeteria where groups that know each other sit in a close vicinity. Often, when the situation starts being dramatic, friends start throwing small snack items, or in more serious times, full drink containers and complete lunch items, at each other. We are also referring to a common carelessness when handling food, whether it is creating un-middle-school-like messes or just wasting it. (Here’s a hint: Eat the food.) With it being so extensive, are people actually bothered by this problem? Some comments from a number of students and staff prove that this is a real issue:...

...just to collect your own small bowl --or tray-- of heaven we call school lunch? SMART lunch should be a time to study, finish homework, or unwind. But how can a person focus with people crashing through the hall in the fashion of a herd of elephants or screeching not unlike chimps fighting for the ripest banana? My only escape is the chorus room, nevertheless, even the brief fifty-foot walk down the hall is unnecessarily difficult and occasionally dangerous. On one occasion, due to the behavior exhibited in the hallway, I was almost provoked into creating a scene of my own. As expected, the cafeteria building was chaos necessitating me to weave and dodge through the crowd, however, this time after paying for my lunch, little did I know, I would be...

...As more people become conscious of their decisions in the marketplace, many have often tried to get their hand in on school lunch programs across America. As a highschool student who has had her fair share of school lunches, a question that most likely poses on many minds is, “Is it really working?” Due to poor funding, outrageously strict requirements, and the want for convenience, many should ponder if all of this is really helping. It can very difficult to serve and satisfy a group of students when there is very little wiggle room. Since the year 2010, many schools nationwide have been under the reign of Michelle Obama’s Hunger-Free Kids Act. This act called for more whole grains, fruits and vegetables with less fat and sodium in student’s...

...Introduction The National School Lunch Program is the second largest food and nutrition assistance program which provides healthy school lunches to children all over the country. Each school district gets a meal reimbursement for the students that qualify for free or reduced meals. The participation rate at Torrance Unified School District (TUSD) is low due to various reasons like food preferences. The school district has decided to introduce new food items according to their food preferences and evaluate the participants response. On Wednesday, February 28th, 2018 Victor Elementary school will be having a new food item introduced on their lunch menu cycle.

...Most or everybody has ate a school lunch in one part of your life’s. But do you really know how healthy lunch food is? Why it’s healthy. How it’s healthy. Or even proof that it’s healthy. Well, Based on my research. I know that School lunches do not meet the federal standards. First. If I told you that fast foods healthier, would you believe me? I would know that you wouldn’t believe it. Don’t worry, I would not believe it myself. But would you be surprised if I had the accurate proof? Because I surprisingly do. Now. Normal fast foods like McDonalds or Burger king. Or even Kentucky Fried chicken (KFC) Inspect their food very well. So Fast foods are usually cleaner than lunch foods. In fact, most schools failed to meet the requirements for...

...A recent poll states that 97% of students believe that off-campus access should be provided during school hours. I think that students should be allowed to leave campus for lunch during school hours. The privilege of being able to leave school to get something to eat would be a great responsibility to teach students. Off- campus lunch would also provide a wider variety of food that would be more nutritious than school lunches. Allowing students the away time from school may also result in a student being given the chance to be him or herself in their own time before having to come back to school and have to focus and work hard. Off- campus lunch would be a great addition to the school district. If students were allowed to leave school...

...campus as well as reward students for positive behavior. All students earn an hour lunch if they are on green banner—the campus stays clean and there are no major disciplinary violations—for five days (BHS Student Handbook). Rewarding students with an hour lunch for good grades rather than positive behavior would be better because it would encourage students to get good grades, make students responsible for their own hour lunch, and avoid punishing all students for a few students bad behavior. By rewarding students for good grades rather than positive behavior or a clean campus, each student is 100% personally responsible for whether or not they will get an hour lunch. It is completely up to them. When hour lunches are given for a clean campus, many students don’t think about picking up garbage they see around the school because they think, “That’s not mine. I always throw my garbage away,” or “Oh, somebody else will get it. I don’t need to worry about it.” They know there are plenty of other students in the school and don’t feel as responsible to clean things up, especially if it’s not theirs....

...Many students think that school lunch is nasty and boring. That is why most students either bring their own lunch or throw away school lunch .The cafeteria wonder why children do this.Teenagers would be much more satisfied if fast food restaurants , provided food for school. This would resolve problems for parents going out to buy lunch for their child. Schools serving fast food would be great. Students would stop throwing away their lunch.Also parents wouldn’t have to go out and buy lunch that is more expensive than school lunch.Nutrition is important it helps our bodies and brains grow and develop into the way that they need to be.Our school doesn't provide the healthiest food choices for the students. For example they tell us our food...

...Yummmmmm, school lunches, it includes a variety of rotten pizza, undercooked chicken, and the everyday cold lunch. The lunch ladies should pay us to eat lunch from their cafeteria. The lunch is horrible, disgusting, as well as awful. The school might as well make the meat a mystery, because I bet you, they’re lying. Just bring 100 snacks from home and you would still be eating healthier. Also, school lunches can easily make a young adolescent fall sick. I mean I only fell sick for two weeks, because of school lunches! Pursuing this further, I believe students should take lunch from home. Although you may think buying lunch from cafeteria is more convenient, think about your health. You may save room in your book bag, but its just one lunchbox. Being...

...All schools have rules that in theory sound good, but do not end up working out very well. At Conroe High School, there are lot of rules. A rule that needs to be changed is lunch being only twenty minutes. (Which for athletes who are released late it is even less than that.) Some will say, if lunch is longer, it will leave more time for people to cause trouble. However, that is not actually the case. As it would be more time to do positive things. Having a longer lunch would allow students to get help from teachers, speak, with a counselor, etc. All of which normally take up class time. If those things were to be done in the short lunch time there is now, no one would even have time to actually eat! A problem I, and many other students...

...legislation to have the money to begin with and because I lived in Cleveland my whole life and so know a lot about bad streets and highway and how costly it is to get a bent rim fixed on your car because of problems with crumbling streets and high ways I can see why fixing them would be good side but I believe that the taking the 100 million to increase funds for school lunches to underprivileged is a much better idea. Coming from an underprivileged family I like many other children from my community received free/ discount lunch and when it wasn’t supplied by the school my parents had to use whatever food we had in the house for mem to take to lunch. A lot of time the meals weren’t the healthiest because like many other families we could not afford the health choices this such as fresh fruit and vegetables weren’t always available for me to take to school. If the 100 million were sent to increase funds for school lunches to the underprivileged all students would have the same opportunity to eat the same meal and have the same healthy...
