How much time should students have to eat lunch? This isn't a question I have ever considered because I have always worked at VB and the length of the lunch period has always been a half hour. In this article from NPR, the author discusses how much time students should get and how much time they are actually getting.
I would be interested to know how students feel about this topic. As a teacher and former cafeteria monitor, I have always believed that less time in the cafeteria forced students to spend their time eating, not screwing around. Regardless of how you feel, it is an interesting article on a topic I wouldn't usually stop to consider.
