About The Lunch Room…
There Must Be Change

This was an D lunch I remember. There are few empty chairs, but people were in a long line behind me waiting to get lunch.

Okay let’s start off saying that the gym is no longer open for students to go in after they finished lunch. Why are they doing this? I don’t know, but I had read an article saying that it was because of “due to a lots of fighting” going on in the gym. Okay that’s cool for preventing fights but what is NOT COOL is that all of us have to find a seat where to sit when its really crowded. Lord, I couldn’t find any seats. I really had to sit on a edge of a seat, just to eat. D lunch doesn’t really get crowded but today… I had A lunch and it was not it. I couldn’t eat in peace. And you know what I don’t like the most? Is when people are in front of me looking at me while eating. Yeah, that bothers me the most. Another thing is…getting in line. We have to continuously wait. Like I would’ve been on the floor by that time because like I haven’t eaten all morning and I never eat in the mornings. Even though we have two lines, the lines are still slow and long. Sometimes there are people who don’t even eat lunch, and they use lunch tables. When the gym was open, they allowed the students who don’t eat lunch sit in the bleachers to wait until everyone was dismissed. There was a lot more space during this time.
What do you think of this? What should we change? What happened to the “6 Feet distance” Covid-19 rule? What is the purpose of the “X’s” on the seats if we all are crowded? How will our parents react to this while Covid-19 is still a thing?

I am definitely with you when it comes to this. Ever since the first day this procedure was carried out I have expressed my dislike of it. All it does is force us all into one room which is chaotic and some of us don’t even get an opportunity to eat because of how quickly lunch is over.

I agree! It´s definitely too crowded and I feel as though making everyone stay in the cafeteria wasn´t a wise decision. It just increases risks of contracting covid.

I agree, even if they move everyone to the Cafeteria people can still fight there and it could probably be worse in the cafeteria because people can throw food.

I agree with this, the cafeteria is way more crowded now that we can’t go into the gym. It makes the chances of a student or staff member getting covid higher, were in a more compact space and that’s not good.

I 100% agree especially with the rising covid case in school crowding all of us into one room doesn’t help. there are some times where i have to stay in the bathroom because the lunch room is so crowded. putting all these teenagers in one room will not stop fights but make it easier for ortacations to happen.

I completely agree. They’re doing much more harm than good. There needs to be more social distance. A more effective tactic would just to put security or an administrator in the gym to monitor everyone.
