Did you know that Rocky Mount students are not allowed to freely visit with their friends during lunch?  They are allowed to whisper for 5 minutes and then be silent for 5 minutes.  This cycle is repeated throughout lunch.  If you think that our children should be allowed to visit freely, and respectfully, with their friends, please sign this petition.

I am still honestly stunned by the number of parents who have reached out to share their own frustrations about the lunch policy. All of this attention is coming from you and your experiences, and I am just doing my best to organize what you have already started.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you feel the same way about lunch time. This momentum belongs entirely to the parents and students who decided to speak up. It is clear that this issue means a lot to our community.

Are you kidding me? A silence timer for lunch? Let them be kids for crying out loud.

My son hates lunch now. He says it feels like a prison. Why are they being treated like criminals?

Kids need to socialize. They work hard in class all day and they deserve to talk to their friends while they eat. This is ridiculous.

Teachers really need to rethink this policy. It makes no sense to force kids to sit in silence when they should be learning social skills.

TOTAL NONSENSE. SCHOOL LUNCH SHOULD BE A BREAK.
