There is a new food rule at West Middle, that does not allow any student to eat at all unless he or she is at lunch. People go for hours hungry, Is the rule even necessary? This is problematic because students are starving and they can not eat food until lunch, and many people have said that they hate it. People are bringing in food to classrooms when they are not supposed to, so the question has to be asked, does the food rule serve any purpose at all? Sure, it prevents kids from eating and leaving messes in classrooms, but a better solution could be to just have a strict cleaning up policy instead of making the students not eat at all except for lunch. Then there would be no mess at all. One student said they saw a kid eating a snack and
Charles Dickens’ own father was in debtor’s prison when Dickens was a young boy. Dickens left his family to work in a factory so that his father could be liberated. Dickens did this out of the love he had for his father; however, he sacrificed living with his family for living on his own to work. The parallels between sacrifice and love are one of many of the reoccurring themes throughout Charles Dickens’ novel A Tale of Two Cities. Dickens shows that the power of love exceeds violence and hatred in life through the sacrifices made out of love from Miss Pross, Dr. Manette, and Mr. Carton.
One of the articles students would read is “No Lunch Left Behind” by Waters and Heron. The article talks about cheap foods, school cafeterias and food that is thrown away. Public safety’s has been redesigned in every school to help kids eat healthier. “Launched in 1946 as a public safety, it has turned out to be a poor investment. It should be redesigned to make our children look healthier” (Waters and Heron). As what the article says many school cafeterias aren’t really “cafeterias”. They usually heat up frozen foods or left overs. I thought our school cafeteria was like that too but, after the field trip to the cafeteria, I saw that the food they make is freshly made, and the pizza is hand made, not frozen and just heated up. This was a good experience; I now eat food from the cafeteria! Thanks to Susan Stewart. The article “No Lunch Left Behind” is very interesting article to read, like the facts of food being thrown
HELP! I'm dying!... because school lunches are cringing! Students should be allowed to leave class during lunch hours, and be trusted to leave and return back in time for their next class. If high schools gave students this right it would teach them how to manage their time wisely and it would help them become responsible. Students who leave campus during lunch are most likely end up going to a local business to get their lunch which is both good for the students and the local businesses. Students with special food allergies could leave campus during lunch and go to their homes and get food they could actually eat and not be worried that their food could have been cross contaminated to something they're allergic to. Students who leave campus during lunch would come back energized and ready for their next classes.
During an open campus lunch break student can either go home to get food, go to a restaurant or a fast food place. Open campus lunch is a good idea for students in high school in grades 10 through 12 and the occasionally students in 9th grade because, it would save schools money by not having to make much food, kids could have better food, it gives the students some free time, and it gives them a chance to have more responsibility and independence. It would also give students a little bit of freedom and a break from their classes. It is a privilege to be able to go off campus for lunch. If students are not back in class after the given amount of time or in their next class, punish them. School lunches
Because of this change, the food that is placed on the plates of thousands of students has also changed. The goal of the new regulations and laws is to create a decrease in childhood obesity in schools, and to give students a chance at healthier food choices and lifestyles. According to the article “School Lunch Makeover” Becky Schilling states, “There is now a minimum and maximum caloric range for each age group. For lunch, grades K-5 has a range of 550-650, 6-8 has a range of 600-700, and 9-12 has a range of 750 to 850” (30). This is a decrease in max calories aloud from past years, in hopes to promote healthier lifestyles at school, and the age groups have been added, in hopes to allow for older groups to have a chance at eating more than younger groups. Schilling goes on to say, “Food products and ingredients used to prepare meals must contain zero grams of added trans fat per serving”, and “Lunch meals that, on average during the school week, have less than 10% of total calories from saturated fat” (30). These new restrictions, which were implemented during the 2012-2013 school year, created all new criteria when deciding what food can be served in cafeterias around the United
At a local school, a student had to vomit during lunch, but wasn’t allowed to use the bathroom. A teacher forced the student to stay in his seat and the student vomited on his food. Students that go to Springdale Jr./Sr. High School should be allowed to use the bathroom during lunch because they need to wash up, to use it for emergencies, and to use it if you all of the sudden need to use it during lunch.
Should school lunches be longer? According to The American Academy of Pediatrics a child should be able to have at least 20 minutes for lunch. But that means 20 minutes to actually sit down and eat — excluding time waiting in line or walking from class to cafeteria. It is a day-to-day occurrence hearing students complaining that the food is cold, having to shove the food down in order to eat everything on the tray, and my favorite is complaints on how food was thrown away since the bells have already rung. Why is this happening? How can they justify taking nutrition away for more instructional time? Multiple students go home after school and raid the refrigerator or cupboards grazing for food. Interesting enough most of the students will choose
I believe this law is beneficial because there are many kids who aren’t able to pay for their lunch; and maybe aren’t even able to eat at their own home. So being able to receive a meal during school, and being able to focus in their studies instead of worrying about their hunger may be successful for them in the future. Like Walter Cunningham, he can’t afford a meal from the school; but maybe being able to experience this law may have helped him. Since his family is poor, meaning he probably doesn’t get a good meal at home either may affect him; not only in his studies but in everything. The lunch law will for sure benefit kids, so of course it would benefit
The values that I stand by is Robert Nozick ideas. I totally agree that we should do anything with our things if we worked hard to get it. Believe in whatever and what makes us happy. We shouldn’t live in a government system that takes away thing that hard working people put time and sweat to own just to make the poor happy. The biases that I have in life is that people stereotype other cultures from one experience they have occurred. Everyone is a different person, not everyone is alike. I don’t prefer only one cultural communities, I’m a people person. I’m going into law enforcement so every call I’ll get will be different then each others and will be interacting with different communities that I haven’t been around. I feel the most comfortable
Nationwide students waist over 70% of fruits and vegetables,while others are sitting around without food at all in other places(Public brief). Some students only get the 2 meals they are provided with at school ,but they often are not provided with enough to eat. Its import for low income and less fortunate families to be provided enough time to eat to make sure they are receiving there energy and daily nutrients(Godoy& Allison). Increasing the school lunch time will also save the schools a great amount of money(Public brief). School lunch food wasted to cost $1.2 billion dollars each year,which is enough for a person to buy a new car everyday of there life(Public brief). A simple increase in time could save schools a bunch of money needed to improve the school building and faculty. Many cafeteria staff and teachers have reported complaints about how students aren't eating all their food and they have to throw it away(EHHI). Most of the time in high schools foods are sold à la carte instead of a full meal to avoid having to throw away or make more food(EHHI). As a result of the food waste cafeterias started using foods with more fats and less nutritious items to get students to eat( EHHI). Cafeteria are selling french fries and not the healthy food to make there money because students aren't eating enough of the
Many people would agree that the rule on our school covering off-campus lunch should be changed. There are many problems caused by not allowing off-campus lunch. I believe that allowing off-campus lunch would benefit schools greatly.
Equally important, there are lots and lots of foreign objects in food like, mold, cockroach, hair, bugs and finger nails. You can maybe have a hair in your nose and it falls into the food, or you can be cooking and a cockroach comes on the tray and into the food. When they share the food they can’t see the bug and when the kids start to eat they feel something crunchy in their mouth. That would have been nasty. Nearly, ½ (a half) of my school may like the school lunch, but I don’t. Even the new kids on the first day are shocked to see so many foreign objects in the food. Clearly, the kids and the teachers may have stomach ache and maybe it disgust the teachers so bad that they bring their own lunch.
There needs to be some sort of regulation imposed on school lunches, in order to fight the growing obesity epidemic. Many people disagree with this statement, and have their own thoughts on the matter. The National School Lunch Act was passed in 1946 by President Harry Truman. All over the country, school districts joined lunch programs designed to feed children at free or reduced prices. In doing so, school districts had to follow specific guidelines that these programs required. Over the years, these standards have changed increasingly in order to provide children optimal nutrition. While many districts have fully taken advantage and successfully made the turn for the better, others struggle or are taking a little more time in
This experiment observed students and their activities in a food court. During the observations there were many groups of students not eating lunch just sitting around and talking. Several students were studying or engaging in other activities on their laptops mainly Youtube (the video sharing platform). One group stayed there for the duration of the observations discussing back and forth about their day. Many students would enter the food court, pick up food, and then proceed to sit down. Upon sitting down am majority of the students would pull out some form of entertainment such as a book, their ot cell phone, and engage with it. This engagement, a statistically significant number of times, would detract from the main purpose of the area
It considers threats and impacts associated with climate change could be reduced and handled through mitigation and adaptation. The report evaluates resilience, choices, opportunities, constraints, needs, limits, as well as other features connected with adaptation. Climate change requires shifting probabilities of impacts that are varied with complicated interactions. A focus on danger, which will be not old in this report, complements other aspects of the report and supports decision. Societies and individuals may view or rate possible gains and hazards otherwise, given aims and varied values. All-inclusive evaluation has been eased by increased works across a more comprehensive group of issues and sectors, with increased coverage of the ocean, variation, as well as human systems.
