[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to one of these cafeterias with high ceilings and a packed space.  It can be physically painful to the ears.  Seriously.[/quote]

My elementary school was like this.  They put a stoplight on the stage.  If the light was green, we were allowed to talk in normal conversational tones.  If the light went to yellow, we were only supposed to whisper.  If they still couldn't get us quieted down, they put the light on red and no talking at all was allowed.

This was another place, another time.  There were no aides circling.  Instead, our classroom teachers sat at the end of the tables and ate lunch with their class.

As an aside, on our way to lunch we were marched to the bathroom to give a bathroom break to anybody who might need it and to have everyone wash their hands.  It seemed inconceivable to me when I moved here that kids didn't wash their hands before eating (especially going directly from recess on a goose poop covered playground to lunch).[/quote]
