Ask your Principal to allow kindergartners to eat lunch in their classrooms!

This is what our Principal did after a disastrous year of Kindergartners eating lunch at 10:30 in the cafeteria because of overcrowding (5th graders ate lunch at 1:30).

Everyone was much happier with a more normal lunch time. Eating in classrooms isn't a bad thing at all.

Most schools do not have the staffing to have supervision in each classroom at lunch time.[/quote]

Honestly this was a problem that we had during COVID when students were still eating in the classroom. There aren't necessarily half a dozen people around the school that have nothing to do for either that 30 minutes or longer if they're supporting multiple lunches.[/quote]

Then hire more people. No child should have to eat lunch at 10:30. Only in the US where people don't understand meals and food is this a problem.

Name one good thing about the USA. Just one. [/quote]

Job opportunities!

I'm the PP. I love the USA, but in I've lived in several countries as a K-12 student and as a parent of same, and nowhere has lunch hours ever been an issue. People manage to eat at lunchtime without hiring a ton of staff - students eat with teachers in some countries, or students manage to behave at lunch with a couple of supervisory aides. All these countries spend much less on their schools than the US, and yet somehow, lunch is at a reasonable time.

As I said before, our public elementary school Principal in the DC area managed to do away with 10:30am lunches by having kids eat in classrooms. I don't know who supervised them, but don't tell me it can't be done.
