[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let’s say open lunch goes away, what are really the consequences when a student leaves during lunch?[/quote]

None, because plenty of kids leave now at schools that don’t have lunch. So, the rule followers will get their one lunch taken away and those who are more willing to break the rules will continue to have open much. [/quote]

Yeah, this is what stinks.  My HS kid has said that open lunch is really the only thing that is making her not hate her very overcrowded, bureaucratic HS exeprience.  She just needs a few minutes to take a break.  They are punishing all those kids in order to try to control the kids who will just ignore the rules.  [/quote]

If your kid is unhappy at school instead of posting here help them have a better experience or move them.  [/quote]

Move them where?  The fact is that these schools are loud and over crowded and that creates a real mental load for almost anyone.  Ask the teachers that work in these schools.  The Board is always pretending to care about student mental health and at least some students are saying open lunch helps their mental health.  I’m not saying it’s the only factor but it’s a factor the Board and Taylor should consider.  Pretty close to 100% of our school — students, parents, teachers, admin — want to keep open lunch.  Yet it seems like Taylor and the Board maybe don’t care?

It just stinks.  I’ve been a McPS parent for 15 years and every year I feel like it gets a little more unpleasant to be a student there, incrementally.  People used to move here for the schools, but with a Board and Central Office that don’t seem to care about teacher and student preferences, I’m not sure it’s worth it anymore.  [/quote]
