[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 90860, member: 1233"] Our school has the quiet lunch thing going on. Not silent for all, but if they get loud they have to be silent. We have been in a few different schools/districts adn I hae seen how lunch is done at most of them. The schools with the enforced silence or quiet time have kids who eat. The others have kids who don't. Kids need fuel in the middle of the day. The quiet lunch with the explanation that it is for the teachers is to avoid tleling kids they have to be quiet so they can eat. Kids will argue that they can eat and talk, but they can't, not really. If only 15 mins is silent it does not seem excessive, esp if they have recess after. I do think that not all kids will be able to do it completely. As long as it is superquiet whispering I think the teachers should ignore it. Sitting outside on the concrete with no coat is a different story. THAT needs to stop. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
