[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the deal with silent lunch? Is this a normal thing?[/quote] At my kid's school, the first 10 minutes are silent. I asked about this because I thought it was mean, and what the principal told me was that because they have only one space for ~300 kids to eat lunch, they have to cycle kids in and out pretty quickly. By the time kids go through the lunch line, sometimes their lunch break is already half over. The purpose of the 10 silent minutes is to make sure that they actually eat something. It makes sense, but I wish that there was a way to increase the amount of time they are spending at lunch from 20 minutes to at least twice that so that they were also able to be social. Human beings have been socializing around eating for many, many years, and I think it sucks that those skills are not being honed at school.[/quote]
