The why is beyond me. Trying to meet state hours in minimal days to save operating cost? Lunch pulls admin and other staff to monitor instead of doing their other routines, so they try to minimize it maybe?
15 to eat, kick them out to recess so they can clean tables for the next group.
Many don’t bother to eat because the lunch line eats up their time, too.
They also yeah combine with recess time so some kids don’t eat at all because they just want to energy release and play while others are just slower eaters, either way so unhealthy habit building.
Gotta get them ready for the work world where their employer will try to ignore their required (unpaid) lunch…
So I’m new to this and couldn’t figure out why kids don’t finish their lunch. Why are they given like 15 minutes to eat? It’s unhealthy.

Well PDX teachers sure showing the kids how to properly unionize and strike if employers aren’t meeting half way. So cheers to that
