Students have set rules and expectations to follow. One rule would be dress code. At Beaufort High School a 17 year old Student Body President was stopped by a teacher in the hallway and was told, “Your skirt is too short. You need to go to in-school suspension and then go home”. After she was told to go to in-school suspension, she was told that she could go home and change.…
Providing off campus lunches would decrease graduation rates and test scores because research shows that schools with off campus lunches have a low graduation rates. This is because students are coming tardy to class or they are not showing up at all. Denver public schools have mentioned the idea of closed campus lunches because of their horrible drop-out rates and poor rates of sending students to college after high school. The Denver Post mentions, “After all, if students aren’t in class, they can’t learn. And learning is more important than, say, grabbing a bag of Doritos” (1).…
Should schools have open campus lunch? Open campus lunch is when the student has the privilege to go out for lunch instead of being stuck with cafeteria lunches. Students should have an open campus lunch period because most of the time, students do not like their lunches, they find it unhealthy, or it is very pricey. School lunches are very costly. Students spent a lot of money over time on school lunches and it adds up to high amounts.…
Most high schoolers are unfortunately not responsible enough to have an open campus lunch. Others say that if you put an age restriction on the lunch so only seniors can leave that will fix the responsibility issue. Even though this is a wonderful compromise,most of Augusta High School’s Seniors can leave early “insert jan”. However, there is an alternative to open lunch. Students could instead pack their lunch if they are unsatisfied.…
How much faith does your school have in you? As personal responsibility is something often seen lacking in students, having an open campus lunch policy provides students with the right kind of responsibility to help them go forward in their life. A student can feel empowered to make the right choices for their own future. Having full faith of the school behind the student, they are more likely to make the right choices. Students should be allowed to eat lunch off campus because it will teach them responsibility, as well as it being a stress reliever and a social situation skill builder.…
Adapting open campus lunch to high schools would prepare the students to that next step in their lives and when going to for example college they would have already had some experience about open campus. ” 95 percent of the students use the privilege responsibly” (Saslow "Schools Split on 'Open Campus'") Also, the students would become more mature and learn to take care of themselves since their parents aren’t always going to be there to look after them. Some parents might be concerned about the safety of the students but if they would really think about it, they would probably realize that letting them out late at night is even more risky than letting them go and get their own lunch during a school…
Maryland School for the Deaf (MSD) should start rewarding its high school honors students with an open campus lunch. Open campus lunch can be defined as a school policy that allows its high school students to go off the campus during their lunch period. Open campus lunch policy can be set only by the school themselves. With this policy, high school students are encouraged to perform well in the school to obtain the privilege of going off campus to grab a satisfying lunch instead of subpar cafeteria food. Open-campus lunch offers plenty of benefits.…
If schools allow students to leave school for lunch students are then responsible for getting back to school. Students need to gain trust before they start a job that no one sets limits too. Students that do not learn from their mistakes while they are in high school could have a significant impact on their lives after high school. Another opportunity that students gain from having an open lunch is time management skills. Students only have approximately thirty minutes to leave school, get food, and get back to school before their next period.…
The reason that schools have policies and procedures in place is to ensure the safety and well-being of any student of the school, any school staff i.e. teachers, teaching assistants, head- teachers etc. and any outside staff such as cleaners and any sort of contractors. Policies and procedures are also in place to support staff in managing difficult situations such a violent or threatening behaviour. It is adamant that staff familiarise themselves with all policies and procedures and the school must make sure these are all easy to find and accessible to all staff at all times.…
Why Is the Government worrying about student’s personal responsibilities? As a student, I think we should not Bann candy and sodas from school. We have that right to eat anything we want and where we want to. It is not the governments job to direct us what to eat.…
School lunches are an issue that the federal government has taken note of. Last year Michelle Obama implemented a program called “Let’s Move” mandate for healthier foods in schools. In 2014, there is a mandate that all unhealthy non-nutrient meals be taking out of school as well as vending machines with sugary snacks and sugary beverages have been removed. The occasional fundraiser such as bake sales are allowed but when schools don’t comply like in the example of Houston, Texas High Schools they are fined, Huffington Post advised, ”TDA got serious and imposed fines totaling $73,000 on eight Houston high schools for illegal competitive food sales.” After many fines and reports the schools are fined even bigger.…
The term “school lunch,” has had a negative connotation ever since I can remember. There’s much more to school lunch than gourmet salads or mystery meat. All over the United States schools serve lunch to a variety of different students, with different backgrounds, age groups and income. Just in one school the systematic arrangement of the lunch ladies and the policies set in place are just tiny specs of a much larger picture. The fact of the matter is, as children are developing they are being programmed and prepped for the rest of their lives.…
A problem related to some aspect of college life, would have to be the food served on college campuses. It is a problem considering that there is little nutritional value in most of the food options offered. It is also extremely difficult for students to prepare their own meals on campus, they have to first find food to make, figure out how to make it, and then find an open kitchen that the students can cook in. Furthermore, several of the food options in the Dining Commons are high in calories and various numbers of the food available seem to be frozen and not quite fresh food. Another struggle of eating on campus every day is that the nutritional facts are not stated on any of the products and all of the options are expensive.…
It’s just human nature. Emmitt Smith High School is unable to tell the students that they shouldn’t choose to be like the juniors and seniors, therefore the policy needs to be put into place in order for the juniors and seniors to create a better image that the underclassmen will want to follow. Unfortunately, even with the policy put into effect, the policy is worthless without the support of the upperclassmen. The behavior policy is only going to do so much. Kids are still going to drink and do illegal activities, even after the policy has been put into effect.…
Every child around the world loves to indulge themselves with sugary foods. So why is it so bad for kids to drink soda and eat candy if that’s what they enjoy? We know too much of it isn’t a good thing and that they should limit themselves by how much candy they eat and how much soda they drink. Adults don’t like their children eating too much sugar, but it isn’t so bad to the point of them banning them from schools. Too much of something isn’t the best, but that’s why limit ourselves and know when to stop.…
