And you have 15 minutes to inhale your food before you're kicked out of the cafeteria. Keep up that productivity.

School district here even got rid of passing time to lunch. Your time begins the second class ends

So I'm new to this and couldn't figure out why kids don't finish their lunch. Why are they given like 15 minutes to eat? It's unhealthy.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The why is beyond me. Trying to meet state hours in minimal days to save operating cost? Lunch pulls admin and other staff to monitor instead of doing their other routines, so they try to minimize it maybe?

15 to eat, kick them out to recess so they can clean tables for the next group.

Many don't bother to eat because the lunch line eats up their time, too.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They also yeah combine with recess time so some kids don't eat at all because they just want to energy release and play while others are just slower eaters, either way so unhealthy habit building.

Gotta get them ready for the work world where their employer will try to ignore their required (unpaid) lunch...

Well PDX teachers sure showing the kids how to properly unionize and strike if employers aren't meeting half way. So cheers to that

Where I am, parents have to pay extra to have their kids stay at school during lunch. Like we're paying a babysitter to watch them during that time. And then if we don't pay the kid isn't even allowed to stay on school grounds at lunch time.

Alberta, Canada.

Lunch supervision is an optional service that covers the direct cost of supervisors who set up lunchrooms, supervise students while eating lunch and on the playground, and then clean up following the lunch break. Lunch supervision costs about $1.55 per day.

Families are free to make alternative arrangements consistent with their individual circumstances, e.g., child goes home for lunch.

Lunch supervision is an annual fee that is broken down into monthly installments for ease of payment. Refunds will not be provided for occasional disruption of service due to vacation.

Is this Spain? Random guess.

I hope it at least means they get more than 30 minutes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

It's in Alberta, Canada. Lunch hour is mostly an hour but 45 minutes in high school.

In my country lunch is completely different. We also only have 15 minutes to eat, but we just eat in the classroom with the teacher of the previous hour. So you have to bring your own lunch, in my school you can even buy any food. But at least I am allowed to go into the city during lunch.

I doubt 15 minutes are enough to go into the city and eat there.

Its a sacrifice children must make. There is no other way.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

...and if they're shot in the line of duty, that's just their jobs as school students.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

How else will Jesus know we love him if we don't have, routine, mass sacrifices, of our children?

Suck down your slop so officer Asswipe can have NVGs and play Urban Army Man with his racist asshole friends!

Are you guys feeding catfood to kids now?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

Its what the cat wouldn't eat.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Does food made from cats count?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago (2 children)

you don't like cops, because they take a lot of resources for mostly nothing

I hate cops because I'm an anarchist and think the state shouldn't have a monopoly on violence

we're not the same

I don’t like cops because I think they are gigantic pussies

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Shit schools make poverty trapped children, and poverty tapped children are more willing to not care about the legality of trying to survive or gain reputation with their friends/city. And the police love locking away people.

It's a win/win. You lower the cash to schools, increase the cash to police, police catch more "Criminals", and the politicians who sold this can tout the tough on crime to the next election cycle.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Until the criminals learn to bribe police more than what politicians give them, and start buying more and more cops, and puff you are in a dictatorship ran by thugs

Wait, sorry nothing changes

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

And the low quality food means there is a bigger pool of low IQ aggressive high school graduates who want to join the police force.

I mean, this isn't specific to capitalism. Pretty sure north Korea is similar.

This is just baseline authoritarianism.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Pretty sure north Korea is similar.

The NYPD has a bigger budget than the DPRK. And New York hasn't been under siege by Pennsylvania for the last 80 years.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

The NYPD is also not in constant famine, they're one of the richest cities on the planet.

That's like being surprised rent is more expensive in midtown Manhattan than in rural Texas.

I saw a meme that called Plainclothes Officers "Secret Police" and it made me realize how much we're all brainwashed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Can't lie tho. My lunches looked like this maybe not as bad but I loved em. The lunch lady was nice too and would give me extra sometimes

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's the saddest thing I've ever heard

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oliver Twist energy. I wonder if he ever had to pay off school lunch debt to graduate.

Everything goes to the lowest bidder. I'm certain the samples looked a lot better.

City officials be like: Bring BACK THE BLUE food tray.
