[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why MCPS creates their own problems. I went to a HS in VA with 3,000 students and we were only allowed to eat in the cafeteria. There were multiple lunch periods. It’s not rocket science.[/quote]

My child was at Blair when then changed from 2 lunch periods to 1 (maybe 5 or 6 years ago?).  They did it so all teachers could be available to all kids at lunch time for make up work or extra help.  It also allowed clubs to meet at lunch.  It expanded the areas kids could use for eating since there were no classes in session.  In the end DC preferred 1 lunch.  I don't think she ever ate in the cafeteria even when there were 2 lunches.[/quote]

I really like this at Blair for my DC as well. Plenty of time at lunch to get help from teachers, hang with friends, and participate in clubs/activities.  We’ve even managed some lunch time medical appointments without missing any class time. Plus the kids who don’t like the lunchroom chaos can find a quieter space. [/quote]

It's one of those things that might seem like a disaster from the outside but really works fine...thought I can not speak to the lines for hot lunch since my kid packed.[/quote]
