student rights earned My name is Diana V. I am a student at Foothill High School and I am writing an essay on whether or not high schools should have an open lunch campus. Here are some of my ideas. I believe sophomores and higher grade levels should be able to leave for lunch and come back by the next class. When the school keeps students on campus it makes the students want to leave. First of all, the food isn't as good as it would be for ex. At McDonald's or Taco bell, everyone knows cafeteria food is not that appetizing. For students to concentrate better, don't we need a good meal? I think so. Second of all, if the school is concerned about students "ditching" classes, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to keep track of attendance after lunch. Confront the student about their skipping and punish them for it. Punishment could mean cleaning the tables after everyone at lunch, after school detention, or taking away off campus privileges. Third of all, when students leave campus and COME BACK, it shows dedication to return and learn. Also students learn responsibility and it's helping us be ready for our independent life as adults. Thank you for taking your time reading this:)…
Lunch period is the highlight of the day for high school students around the globe. For students who wake up too late to eat breakfast, it is an opportunity to give their bodies the fuel they need to finish the day. Many others see it as a refreshing break from the stress of schoolwork and the demands of their teachers. And for nearly all students, it is a time to socialize and mingle with friends and acquaintances. Giving students the opportunity to leave the school campus for lunch will allow them to fully enjoy their meal, relieve them of the stresses of school, and grant them meaningful fellowship with friends.…
For students, lunch serves as the much needed break from the routine of attending classes, however, lunch can be either an enjoyable intermission or it can be a chaotic, hectic experience in an over-crowded cafeteria. School administrators have the authority to grant students the option, privilege, and flexibility to choose where they eat lunch. Opponents will debate that students should have the consent to leave campus for lunch, however, there are less advantages to an open campus policy than there are disadvantages. Therefore, Cy-Fair High School should continue enforcing the current closed campus policy.…
Have you ever thought what it would be like to actually have a good lunch? Well let me tell you something about it, I do all the dang time! Could you ever imagine going to a school where you wouldn't have to worry about your well being at times? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, let me explain to you what we could do to improve them.…
In order to be a successful student there are many requirements that a person needs to complete before calling themselves a "student". In the reading, “The achievement of desire” Richard Rodriguez was a student who faced many challenges that made him work hard and earn what he wanted to obtain out of his education. Another important character in the reading “Learning to read” who also wanted to challenge the status quo and prove his community that nothing is impossible was Malcolm X. He fought for the black people 's rights and encouraged others to maintain strong and solid. To be more specific, it takes dedication, intelligence, self-determination and creativity in order for a student to receive better results and advantages.…
Many students push for open campus lunches for seniors or even juniors. With this they feel it is an opportunity to relive some stress and put the school out of their mind for a little while, as they enjoy good food with friends. Open Campus lunches can also prepare the high schoolers for college as it brings them to manage time wisely, but best of all it gives them the freedom they need, as well as some responsibility “Allowing students an open lunch would give them freedom, and they would be responsible for managing their time effectively”(Catherine Martin 2012). Almost all teenagers love the feeling of…
“So from eating out, we can also learn how to make wise choices.” This would make students prepared for college by enabling them to leave campus and eat what they want. This independence would get kids ready to face the real world. “It provides a semi-sheltered climate to allow students to grow and become responsible.” This would give teens the privilege of not being watched every second of the day. If students disobeyed the rules of when they should be back, they could take away the privilege or give punishment. Throughout high school students don’t have very many opportunities to show how independent they are any letting them leave for lunch would be a perfect way for teens to show teachers they can be trusted and can survive in the real world.I know a lot of high school students who are very shy and keep to themselves. With the ability to leave school during lunch, kids would become more outgoing because there would be many more chances for them to socialize and interact with the real world. “If students have the privilege of off-campus lunch, they will gain more responsibility and more experience on how the real world works.” All kids have a big part in the future of our job…
According to Change.org, 9 out of 10 students say they would eat something else besides lunch food if they had a choice. A variety of food choices outside of school will benefit a student's health. Likewise, teens need the option to go out and take a break from their 8 hour school day. According to a student on Change.org, “refreshing our minds before the next few classes would really help us focus more, being in a happier environment.” Students need a break from slaving in a desk all day, doing school work. Leaving school for lunch gives students some fresh air and time to relax their brain. Leaving school to go get lunch would help students with their physical and mental…
unfortunately come and go. High school has taught me that not every person I have as…
Everyone has heard school lunch horror stories, pulling the lunch lady’s facial hair out of a half-eaten cheese sandwich or worse pulling it out of your mouth, but many wonder what really goes on in a public school’s cafeteria. As a future educational professional my greatest goal is students’ success. An important part of children’s success has to do with them being prepared to be successful. They need to be prepared emotionally as well as physically. Having a healthy and fulfilling breakfast and lunch are key parts to this preparation.…
I do not think that our school district should allow middle school students to leave during lunch. I think it is to much for kids in seventh and eight grade to leave during lunch.This privilage is also something that should be looked forward to for in high school. In this essay I will explain to you why this idea is not the best for kids in middle school.…
I was sitting in the classroom when the principal came on the intercom, announcing that the bells would be delayed, and those not staying after school to go to the cafeteria. So several classmates and I started headed to the lunchroom. As we walked in, teachers with panicky and terrified faces frantically directed us to the tables. People were whispering, crying, and yelling and screaming. I sat down at one of the long, smooth, freezing brown tables, waiting anxiously to hear what was happening. I looked around and saw ugly white walls and tons of people. As more students poured in the vast cafeteria, teachers and administrators were walking hurriedly around, with horrified faces, and tear marks streaming down their faces. I, as many others, looked puzzled, student to student, wondering what in the world was going on.…
Want to eat some lunch but you see too many people in line well I think that a major problem in high school is the long lunch lines. I think that this is a major problem because most kids are very hungry but they don’t eat lunch because there are a lot of people in line and teachers get mad if you leave early from class to get in line faster. In my opinion I think that if there are more lunch spots there would be more lines to get your lunch with less people in line. This major problem needs to be solved because most kids get frustrated because of the long lines to get lunch. One example that happened to me is that one day I was in line getting my lunch and my class is far away from the cafeteria but i still got in line because I was very…
When students were asked what they thought about going back to the old lunch, where lunch was divided into three separate lunches, they all replied “No”. In these three lunches student’s lunch time would depend on their third block teacher. What makes the three lunches so grotesque is that some students would have to eat late or early (some students eating at 12 o’clock while other have to wait until 1:30 in the afternoon), it’s rare to have one’s friends in the same lunch making them feel isolated, and the most popular answer being that there are no tutoring or club meetings so students will have to stay after school to attend making it harder to do other extracurricular activities and keep their grades up. The original, big question of if…
Just remember, we can’t change the past. All of these memories, all of these recollections - they are what have made us who we are today. And we have what it takes to not only survive, but to excel in high school. When a fellow gold miner fell into the river on the fourth grade Gold Rush trip, we all helped to fish them out. Even though very few of us struck it rich, none of us were rascals and none of us stole each other’s gold. This taught us to be honorable…
