[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS says it’s nearly impossible to get  lunch at school. The cafeteria at school is full and there is no sitting room. Let the poor kids eat lunch![/quote]

Do they have one lunch period for the whole school?  Why not do 2 or 4 lunch periods?[/quote]
You want kids to have lunch at 9:30am, or 1:30pm? Do you know what time HS starts?  This isn't ES where they have snack breaks.[/quote]

It would also make class scheduling impossible because so many classes have kids from multiple grade levels plus all the school clubs meet at lunch and all the teachers use lunch for office hours and make up tests.  If kids had different lunches, there would be no clubs and no way to do make up tests or get help from a teacher.  Every year it is discussed and explained.  But it makes it SUPER easy to avoid the WJ kids because they all need to be back for 5th period at 12:05.  So this is really only a problem before noon which is a weird time for neighborhood people to be eating lunch.  If you are seeing them adter noon it was probably an early dismissal day and then they are private citizens that can go where they please.  [/quote]
^This. It’s unreasonable to expect schools to schedule lunch around the convenience of occasional customers at nearby businesses. Schools schedule lunch the way they do for very good reasons. Unlike the students, most adults have some flexibility in their lunch schedule. There’s one hour out of the day that there won’t be seating. OP, go during all the other hours or on days there’s no school.[/quote]
