[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. My DC ate in the media center every day at Eastern to avoid the lunchroom craziness. It's worth reporting that your kid is having a bad experience there to the administration -- they've made some changes but if it's still occurring clearly the problems aren't fixed yet. [/quote]

My Eastern kid goes to the media center during lunch whenever she can, but she also hated the noise and chaos of the lunchroom at both her elementary schools, too. And her friends at Takoma do similar things to avoid the lunchroom (eating in the science classroom), as do lots of kids at Blair.

Frankly, I probably would have done the same thing if my middle school had allowed it. School lunchrooms just suck all the way around.

But I think a lot of MCPS schools are overcrowded enough that the lunch periods are necessarily short and the room is crammed full of kids, and the terrible acoustics of all that tile and laminate don't help. I'm not sure how much of what happens at Eastern is just the usual "high spirits" of kids suddenly released from the classroom environment, and how much of it is actual rule-breaking, though.[/quote]
