[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 90814, member: 2315"] I used to substitute at the grade school level and I just want to share with you a different take on the no talking thing. I do not believe that it is for the teacher's sake. First off the decibel level gets very high and there are other classes that are trying to learn close by. Second, if they are talking they are not eating. You would be shocked at how much good food is being tossed out in out school cafeterias because kids have opend it but did not get around to eating it. With a not talking rule most kids have enough time to eat their lunch and then they go out side where they can yell and screan as loudly as they want. IF there was no opportunity for the children to talk at all I would be opposed to the rule but as long as they get time to interact and socialize I see nothing wrong with it and alot right. by the way are your kids allowed to yell while at your dinner table? normal conversational tones do not hold up when ther are 100 people talking so most kids are yelling to get the attention of friends seated at the other end of the table or at an adjacent table. -RM [/QUOTE]
