SCHOOL LUNCHES AND OUR HEALTH
Can We Do Better?
Justice For Our School Lunches!
Don’t you ever look at your school lunch and think what is this or wish you were eating something better? Well, many other students also think school lunches should be improved. So, in this article I am going to be telling you all about school lunches.
It is important for students to like school lunches because that is what we eat and if we don’t like it many students will not eat it. This is not good because then students will starve until they get home. This article called “Benefits of School Lunch” states that, “School lunch is critical to student health and well-being - ” So as you can see School lunch is very important so I think that the lunches should be something that students like. Another reason school lunches should be good is that students who can’t afford or don’t have food to eat at home they can eat at school. Another thing that the article I previously mentioned states, “- especially for low-income students—and ensures that students have the nutrition they need throughout the day to learn.” So, as you can see, students of maybe lower class can have an opportunity to eat.
School lunches feed many students but they could feed even more if they were improved. I interviewed a couple of students about school lunches. They all had the same question; “How do you feel about school lunches?” One student said “School lunches are very gross and need to be improved. The chicken is dry and the milk is unflavored.” Another student said, “Most of the time they’re not good, however, sometimes they are pretty good.” So, this shows you how students feel about school lunches. Some like them but most definitely want a change in school lunches.
School lunches are super important to students who are struggling with being able to afford meals or just for everyone in general. So, as you can see, school lunches should be improved.
SCHOOL BUSES - WE NEED TO BE AT SCHOOL!
THE NEED FOR BUS DRIVERS
The CCSD has always been in need of new or more bus drivers. Why? I'm not quite sure but it's true, not sure if it's because they aren’t good enough or they don't hire certain people. Buses in the ccsd need to have a certain number of bus drivers no matter what and lets say if someone loses a bus driver the ccsd should have back ups or already have it planned out. Because when there aren't any bus drivers the students take the fall and it isn’t fair to students. I get that it also isn't the ccsd or the staff's fault but something needs to change in the system. I also get that some bus drivers don't go and let the ccsd know on such a short notice, and that some bus drivers already take 2 schools.
TARDIES AND ABSENCES
When we get to school late we get marked tardy and absent. I get why but also it is the busses fault and as well as the CCSD. I get it if there is traffic or accidents but it affects our attendance record. I get the absences are excused but that should happen. The CCSD should really know this because we need to change that. I don't mind getting to school late but when we get to class we don't get the full lesson that the class was working on. Or maybe we missed a part of the lesson that we needed to know for our homework. It all affects our attendance and also our grades for the school.
THE NEEDS AND PLACES WE NEED TO BE AT
When buses get to school late when it is time to go, it affects our daily schedule. Some students have places to be at even though we may be students, some kids need to be somewhere and when the buses come late we can't be there. There may be emergencies going on and when the bus is our only ride we can't get there. It's not the bus driver's fault, but the ccsd needs to get it together.
