To start off, what if I asked if you have ever felt that your school provided lunch wasn’t all that great? If I had asked a student, chances are they’d say that they don’t eat their school lunch by choice. But we’re just seventh graders that don’t know a lot of what really goes on when it comes to our lunches, so I intend to show you some research that I found from credible sources that proves that school lunches need to change.
Every year, more and more food is wasted and school lunches because nobody thinks they are good anymore. The quality of food goes down, less students eat, and more wish they could go and eat somewhere, anywhere, else. If schools were to add off-campus lunches, however, that would all improve. While off-campus lunches may promote unsupervised behavior, going off campus for lunches is a viable option because it is cheaper for the school, cheaper for the students, and makes sure everyone will eat.
Grant High school in the morning the school checks every student's bag and they have to go through a metal detector. This prevents students from bringing in drugs, alcohol, or anything that can harm themselves or another student. That being said, students who do leave for lunch will have to be searched again. This is a problem because most students do not like being checked in the morning and they will certainly not like the fact that they will have to be searched for a second time. Most students will see this as unfair and that the school does not trust them but in order for them to get something they want they are going to have to compromise.
In my opinion, making the school's lunch menu healthier is a bad idea. One reason is that making the menu healthier is not serving a purpose. A second reason is kids can always bring their own lunch to school. A third reason is that making the lunch healthy is not going to make the child have a healthy lifestyle. Although, others may disagree and say that having a healthier lunch menu is a good idea. In one's opinion, they can say that making the school's lunch menu healthier is a good idea. They could say that this is a good idea because kids would be eating healthy at school and home. Some may think that this a good idea because it is a way that is helping lower the obesity rate in kids. Others may think that making the lunch menu healthier
This is the real problem with this topic. As Bob Gerver said, ‘“The issue should not be ' 'open ' ' or ' 'closed, ' ' but ' 'open for whom? ' '’(Gerver qtd. In Saslow 11). In other words, students that have good records and have good grades should be able to go. This would narrow the problem of safety concerns down. Having an option to go get food from a restaurant as a reward for good grades might encourage other students to try harder. Adrian Johnson stated, “Make off-campus lunch possible for upperclassmen” (16). Others may say, “By allowing kids to leave for lunch, they have more opportunities to eat healthier food” (“Top” 6). Consequently, whether what students should be allowed to leave the school for lunch really depends on their grades, and personality. Because making the irresponsible students stay at school while the mature students can get rewarded for their hard work, is the reasonable idea. In the end, schools should not allow students to have off- campus lunch because it gives them the choice to do something against the rules and puts them in danger.
Wouldn't it be marvelous if schools had a food court? As excited as that sounds, almost all schools don't have food courts provided. Only the richest school districts provide students and staff an inside food court. However, lunch time is an important meal, and it should be spent the way students like. Whether it is a McDonalds hamburger, or a Panera bread salad special, the students should have the freedom to choose. An open campus lunch for high school students is a great way for the students to have better food choices, to gain more responsibility, and to have more school activities to participate in.
For a long time now people have been arguing over whether or not to change up the restrictions to the lunches served in schools across America. Many different arguments have come up in recent years. School officials should not change up the school lunches because some people need more food than others, they should not be able to tell them what they can and can't eat, and finally because it will take lots of time and money to make the switch.
Imagine going to school and thinking, oh boy what am I going to have for lunch today? And all of the sudden you see something you don’t like, so you don’t eat it and then your stomach starts to growl. What would you do for lunch and how would you explain it to your parents after school? Students have been known to not eat lunch at school very often because, for the main reason, they don’t like it. Others say that they “aren’t hungry”, but you never know. Schools should just make the lunch more healthy and taste better. Even though school lunches could potentially make students sick and not feel good, some students say it is disgusting and causes them not to eat and complain because they’re not getting
The principal is trying to change school lunch menu's to healthier meals. I strongly believe that this is a good idea to change the lunches because of the following reasons: healthier meals makes kids grow big and strong, it gives you more energy to move around, and it taste delicious. Schools all around should consider changing their lunches for the better of their student. This is for the better of the student to have healthy food. I will go into greater detail in the following paragraphs. Although you may think that junk food is good for your body and doing you justice, but it's really not. It's the healthy foods that are doing it such as; vegetables, fruits, and milk. Fruits and vegetables when eaten, give kids the right nourishment
Students skipping lunch because they rather not eat and lose their hygiene! Have you ever seen students walking by the cafeteria but they don’t eat. The subject I will be discussing is off-campus school lunch. The issue I chose is relevant because there will be a mall right next to our school(Kapolei Middle). The reason I chose to discuss this topic is students should be able to have the freedom of going off campus and be able to be trusted to do the right thing. I am a credible speaker because of how this issue affects me. This issue affects me because I’m a student myself and I’d like to go off campus for lunch instead of the cafeteria at our school. Wouldn’t it be great to have lunch somewhere else than school. It can be a great learning opportunity for us. Plus there's many benefits and we even learn
Have you ever wondered if you could ever change the school lunches in the Public schools? Well you’re not the only one, many other people thought about changing the way you eat at lunch and started to change it. Some trials have failed but some have succeeded at the trail for their public school. But some administrators what it to come to all schools, for the fact that they are losing money because kids stopped eating lunches at school. The school lunches impacting more than just the schools money, it’s impacting the students education and after school activities just like sports teams.
Determining the healthiness of food being served to students during school lunches is a very important subject. Although eating healthy is important it should not be the only factor contributing to whether or not taking away students favorite school lunches is beneficial. I don't believe that it is a good idea to take away students favorite school lunches and replacing them with all healthy foods is a good idea because of these three reasons. One, the cost of the healthier food, two, the student environment and mood of the school, and three, the fairness to the students whose only meal is the lunch they receive at school. Some people may argue that school lunches are not healthy enough and need to be changed to foods that are more nutritious.
Thesis We should be able to leave school during lunch it shows that administrators are given us freedom.
Stress has become a major issue for high school students. Many students have seven classes, participate in sports, have after school activities, homework, and need to get an adequate amount of sleep each night. Some parents and outside influencers don’t see the benefits of having a longer lunch period for high school students. Students complain about how long school is now but they don 't have enough time outside of school to complete everything they are expected to. While it is understandable that some parents wouldn’t want longer lunches because it could result in safety issues and students having to remain in school 30 minutes longer than the traditional time, longer lunches would give students a chance to complete homework, get help from teachers, and eat a nutritious meal. All of which are lacked during a school day with a 30 minute lunch block.
However, the provision commodity foods may have unintended financial consequences for schools that ultimately have an impact on school lunch nutrition,” was said in, “A Comparative Cost Analysis of commodity foods from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the National School Lunch Program,” by Cora Peterson. The food schools get from other places cause financial problems. If the students could go to town to buy their own lunch from places they would prefer to eat, this should not be a
