Reiwa's Seattle outlawing lunch thread.

[Ekco]

🤐
Okay, no thread about Seattle outlawing lunch.

Seattle is not outlawing lunch, but Seattle Public Schools are implementing a new policy to split high school lunch periods into two shifts

Splitting Lunch Periods: Instead of one long lunch period, the new policy divides high school lunch into two shorter periods.

they aren't, but i'm fine with it if they did.

voting 1 star on my own.. your thread.

Seattle students walk out over changing lunch periods (https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/seattle-students-walk-out-changing-lunch-periods/281-468de70e-4256-4cae-88bd-82fbc5dea2b8)

“Two years ago we had an hour-long lunch and everyone had enough time to get lunch, and so I feel like if it’s a problem for everyone to have enough time to get lunch, they should just give us our hour long lunch back," said Ballard High School senior Linnea Wacker-Sprague.

"Having two lunch periods will ruin the culture of the high school... taking away one lunch period will also negatively impact students' mental health and wellness."

My high school had like 2 or 3 different lunch shifts.

[Ekco]

Yeah, that school looks big enough where I'm surprised they're just now doing this, doubt the student population jumped hundreds and hundreds of kids since last year in that district.

‘They keep taking things away from us”

Child, this is your first thing.

Also, yea they did this at my school for like three semesters and then they went back cause it was like really dumb and weird and difficult to deal with.

We had 3 separate lunch hours in our school. Lunch, A, B, and C. They were all an hour, but it meant you also couldn't see some friends based on who had what lunch hour.. Not having an hour would suck tho. How would we have had enough time to drive off campus down to jack in the box, and smoke a bowl on the way home in under an hour?! The nerve.....

Did you guys have a shitty B hour where you would go to class for 45 mins, then go to lunch, and then go back to the same class as before lunch for the remainder of the 45?

That's how my high school was, A was before class, B was mid class and C was after class. B lunch sucked so much

I don't think we got an hour even but did have three shifts; 45 minutes south. Ostensibly SPS is changing it to comply with state law instructional hours.

Luckily i grew up under the lake washington school district. And not Seattle school district. Seattle School district is poop.

Hahaha, that sounds awful. No way, it was just class, lunch, then next class.. I have no idea why educated people often overthink simple things.. Class, lunch, class. Doesn't need to be any more difficult then that..

"Veggie Pizza"

So Tomatoes, Cheese and Dough?

LOL but the names of these dishes. "Salad Bar" "Seasonal Fruit" "Steak Fries"

Back in my day it was Pizza, Fries, Green Beans and a chocolate milk! And we were happy!

In elementary school I could never figure out if the poor kids were the ones bringing lunch or buying lunch. And I still don't know.

[Ekco]

I could never figure out why people who pay high property taxes have enough energy to argue about kids paying for gruel-slop but ignore mismanagement and outright fraud in their local school districts.

When i wasn't playings with pogs that is.

My parents always told me we were rich in love and that’s why I could afford to bring my own lunch to school.

I said that’s great but I love pizza for lunch :(

The really rich kids just drank a vending machine Coke at lunchtime.

I was always jealous of kids that got to have the school lunch. The real issue i had with bringing lunches was A- It was always some crappy wonder bread/ carl buddig sandwhich. And B- You have no way to keep your lunches cold. Or we didn't. You'd just make a sandwich, stuff it into your backpack and hike off to school, then transfer it to your locker. By the time it's lunch, you get a room temperature sandwich, molded into whatever strange shape it took on while it was in your backpack that morning.

The Seattle Student Union president is calling the return to a single lunch on Wednesdays a victory, but also says it’s not enough. (https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/seattle-public-schools-rolls-back-new-lunch-policy/FI3JYFCMT5B3LAEBCI2XNNIPKY/)

“It definitely shows that a compromise was made and that it definitely will ease the pain a little bit. But there definitely still is a lot more work to be done,” said Leo Falit-Baiamonte, president of the Seattle Student Union. “We are going to keep mobilizing,” he said.

In a letter emailed to families Thursday night, SPS said, “We apologize for the disruption that this change has caused”. It added it hopes the compromise helps “preserve time for students to connect, join clubs, or explore other interests” ... and “helps ease the transition.”

>announced to families it’s rolling back the decision
>a compromise was made
>we want more though

Slippery slope. This is why you don't negotiate with terrorists.

Gotta quell these rebellions quickly and with overwhelming force lest ye next compromise be pizza day, everyday of the week.

The school owns the IP it can do what it wants.
