Thank you, Brett! It is SO important and affects all the kids within the SWSD, not just Big Lake!

Many, many studies show that kids need to eat and kids need to play. It is time the SWSD recognizes these important facets of education and give our students fair and adequate time for both!

I say 30 min for lunch not to be taken from their recess after. 20 min is ridiculous for children to eat. My son has braces and an expander in the roof of his mouth it takes him forever just to eat half a sandwich.

School is no longer a place where our children enjoy going rather a place that instills stress & anxiety. They are rushed all day long through every part of their day. We are seeing more children with behavioral problems, anxiety & stress beginning @ a young age. The unrealiastic expectations are another area for concern. We need to remember these are our CHILDREN not adults that we are working with. Raising them up in a stressful environment only makes for a broken down anxiety ridden adult. Yes they need to be challenged but they also need to be encouraged & affirmed. Teach them how to work through problems and to fight to become even better. We need to build confidence & self esteem in our youth. This can't happen with how our education system is structured. It is no wonder why so many parents are resorting to home school vs. Public school. Things need to change.

Give these kids at least 30 Minutes to eat their lunch, they can't learn anything on an empty stomach

they should have at least 20 minutes of sitting and eating time, not 20 minutes of stand in line, get lunch and then eat.
