[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re twisting the scenario. This isn’t a kid sitting in the cafeteria alone. This is a kid in the hallway. Im saying that a teen spending 4 seconds  passing a kid in a hallway eating lunch will likely not have a clue something is amiss or will be headed into his own lunch quickly and not be thinking anything about it. Thee are too many reasons he could be there. That is THIS scenario that I am addressing. You’re talking about wonder, avoidance, eating alone in the cafeteria, switching scouting troops, etc. and then saying by passing a kid in the hallway it is mean spirited. Im saying I’m guessing most kids aren’t even thinking it’s an issue bc the kid could be there for so many alternative but fine reasons (waiting for a teacher, reading quietly, getting extra help, waiting to be picked up, has a headache, prefers quiet, needs to get work done during school hours bc if extra curricular and teacher offered outside his classroom, teacher is arriving every day 2 minutes later to open the classroom, etc). I was a teacher myself and this happened all the time with plenty of good reasons for it. That is wholly different from a kid eating alone in the cafeteria or having no one to buddy up with ever.

Obtuse, indeed. [/quote]

OP's child is a girl and sits alone every day. It's not just a one-off. It's not mean-spirited to pass the child, but it is unfriendly to notice this every day and then never talk to this girl when you have spanish together later in the day. If this is happening every day, it's the same situation as a child sitting alone in the cafeteria. I don't really understand why they are letting kids sit outside the cafeteria anyway, but let's say they made this child sit inside the cafeteria to eat, what then?[/quote]
