[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]THERE NEEDS TO BE AN EXCEPTION FOR SCHOOLS THAT CANNOT ACCOMMODATE ALL THEIR STUDENTS DURING LUNCH, SUCH AS BCC.

BCC has always had open lunch, mostly because the cafeteria was not expanded during its multiple additions, and partly because since it's in downtown Bethesda, outside food options are safely and easily accessible.

It is not physically possibly for BCC students to all stay at school during lunch! The cafeteria cannot serve even a quarter of the kids! [b]If most kids brings lunch from home and eat it at school, they will be forced to eat on the floor in the hallways[/b]. The outdoor court in the middle of the building is minuscule compared to the number of students and cannot accommodate even an eighth of the kids.

In short, there CANNOT be a blanket ban on open lunch. It takes very little effort to call up every high school and ask their Principals whether it would be a hardship, considering the size of the cafeteria, size of the building, and number of students, to cancel open lunch. WHY IS THE BOARD NOT DOING THIS?

The Board members need to resign if it knows so little about its schools that it leans towards a one-size-fits-all solution. SHAME ON THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT.

You do realize that other MCPS high schools that have closed lunch policies do in fact have kids eating in classrooms and hallways, right?

So you're screaming and shouting that BCC would pretty much have to comply with a policy the rest of the HSes already comply with.

Smells like white privilege.[/quote]

BCC isn’t the only school with open lunch btw.

A blanket ban on open lunch because “equity” doesn’t seem fair for the students and businesses that rely on them although it’s par for the course at MCPS to reduce opportunities, not expand them so this will probably end up happening.

Oh it’s happening. MCPS appeals to the lowest common denominators. Rather than provide opportunities for all, they handicap each school and student because like you mentioned, “equity”. [/quote]
