[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. I’m stunned that so many parents think an open lunch is the answer.

High school students are (mostly for those who are not repeaters) still minors. MCPS had a responsibility to keep these kids safe. If they leave for lunch and get hit by a car, robbed, or get themselves into any other unthinkable situation, we CANNOT keep them safe.

The only real solutions are…
1) structuring the school day so campuses with 2000+ kids have A, B or C lunch
2) teaching your kids to respect adults and the importance of fiscal and health responsibility.

I want to know how parents are ok with funding $10+ lunches every day and accepting the health concerns that come with eating fast food for every meal. Parents need to teach their kids how to prepare food ahead of time — this is an important life skill.

Also. Parents need to hold the standard at home when it comes to listening to (gasp) authority. Americans are so afraid of holding people accountable. Literally had a 9th grader look me in the eyes and blow me off when I asked her why she was leaving school (in the middle of 2nd period). Rolled her eyes and walked right out the main doors.

Parents should be ashamed of the individuals they are raising.[/quote]

This 100% .  They used to have multiple periods for lunch.  One lunch makes no sense when all the kids cannot fit in the cafeteria.  As a parent if my kid was rude to a teacher, I'd want to know and they would be apologizing to that teacher and consequences at home.[/quote]
