Potato chip bag.
Kids get posted for popping these in cafeteria as a means of opening it. Thoughts?
I think the cafeteria ladies are crazy the kids can barely make any noise in there. Everytime I have ever been to the school during lunchtime, there has been a lunch lady yelling at the kids during lunch. They turn off lights, they make them put their heads down and they lose recess time.
I think the expectation is too high. Silence during lunch? Unheard of. Eating is always one of the most social parts if not the most social part of our day.
I can understand if a student is out of order , Ie; extremely loud, throwing things.... But really it's the corporal punishment. If my kid is being good, I would not expect her to Have to put her head down or be completely quiet, or lose recess time.(AKA: an opportunity to get your wiggles out)
I can understand the importance of kids eating and getting out of the cafeteria on time for the next group of kids to come in. They also need to focus on getting the nourishment they need to focus on the second half of their day. I just wish there was another approach, besides the stressful yelling on the microphone the entire time they are eating.
I read something a while back when this same topic got under skin. A school in California was trying to fix a similar situation. They extended the students lunch period not the teachers, just the students. The last 20 minutes of the students lunch period, they were joined by their teacher. The teacher would sit at their table and socialize. Just having the presence of teacher nearby, changed cafeteria behavior immediately. This also eliminated the positions of the a few cafeteria / yard duty help.

Prom
I feel bad for these teenage boys. As if asking a girl to prom wasn't nervewracking back in my day. Now everyone has to make such a big deal about it. Wow. Just got done watching the movie Prom. That's what sparked this thought. Good thing Chico is taking me to Prom. :)
Is having a bloody nose a big deal??
Jayda told me today that she's had a bloody nose, 2 days in a row at school. I'm wondering if that should be a concern and should the teacher notify us when it happens. Hmmmmm???
