When you were in school, how much time did you actually spend eating lunch? From grade school all the way through high school I remember us having 1/2-hour lunch. (That was in the Highline School District.) Keep in mind I don’t remember ever actually taking 1/2 hour to eat my lunch. I was a human vacuum cleaner.
But that half hour gave me time to eat my lunch, hang out with some friends, maybe hit the playground when I was in grade school and then it was back to class.
I had no idea that some school districts in Washington state did not allocate a full 30 minutes for lunch. There are two school districts in Washington state that only allow 15 minutes for lunch and that does not include standing in line waiting for a hot lunch to be served and then getting back to find a place to sit and eat and then clean up.
Keep in mind, even Washington State is not asking for 30 minutes. They’ve decided that 20 minutes will work…
