[quote=Anonymous]Short list of benefits (in no particular order and yes, I know the first one is going to create lots of conversation all of which is important but not really the topic at hand for this question): 1. Less "outside access"--meaning if kids were deemed to be safe/without weapons/drugs upon entry to school, there is no way that these things are making there way in mid day. 2. Eliminates some social pressures--to have money to buy lunch, stay off campus with friends later than you're supposed to. 3.Easier access to make up work without having to feel like you're "missing something" 4. Related to the above--truancy/attendance issues 5. Car/pedestrian safety (do we really want our kids interfacing with traffic and cars more than necessary, particularly when they may be distracted in groups or rushing? I'm sure there are more but these are just a few that come to mind.[/quote]
