[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand how staggered lunches would work.  My sophomore has classes with kids from 9th to 12th grade.  It seems like a scheduling nightmare.  Maybe if there were two periods, 11-12 and 12-1 or something it could work but it seems very challenging.  [/quote]

They have 2-3 lunch periods and kids get assigned depending on their schedule. [/quote]
Students benefit more from being able to see any friend they want to at lunch, having the opportunity to make up tests they missed, get extra help from the teachers, and attend club meetings. The administrators get the headache of dealing with complaints about student behavior off campus during lunch, but avoid the headache of much more complicated scheduling. The teachers can offer help to students at lunch instead of having to stay late to help kids after school.[/quote]

Only a handful of teachers offer help at lunch.  Yes, those things are nice but the complications of how it’s working now is not working. [/quote]
This model not only works well, but is essential for kids who aren’t attending their home school. There are only so many things magnet students can fit in between the end of the school day and the late bus. Lunch is a critical time for clubs and make up tests.[/quote]
