Some kids are tired of fight for a spot in the fridge and go across the street before school and get a sandwich to avoid being apart of this mess. This causing students to not eat because they are not liking their choices. Our school does have online lunch where we will get food to come to our school but you have to order it days before and what if you chance you're mind and then don't it, moment is going down the drain.

In New Mexico, they recently banned schools from “lunch shaming.” Lunch shaming is where students are classified for not having enough money to eat lunch.

Have you ever thought why you’re school lunch looks so disgusting? Have you ever thought what it’s actually made of? Or why doesn’t this look like the way I ate it at home?

The sugary gatorades along with the chocolate chip cookies and brownies were eliminated from our snack options long ago. In addition to being unappetizing as well as slightly innutritious, our lunches come in an unnecessary amount of packaging that has filled me concern. At Oxford we only have a little more than 1,200 students yet we manage to fill up our trash cans past the rim at lunch. If we added up all the trash cans around the quad we would have more than 10 trash cans filled with plastic and paper from our school lunches. The frightening part is that we are considered a small school. If we compare our situation to other public high schools around the nation with almost three times our number of students, the amount of trash that we throw away together in one day is

Teachers may have difficulty covering all of class material; therefore, they would need to plan a more fast but efficient way to cover material. This would allow their grades, academic learning, and class participation to increase.
