Should we be allowed off campus lunch?

At our school in South Carolina, they wouldn't let us out for lunch, but I sort of understood. Our school was miles away from the nearest McDonalds or Wendys and they didn't want thousands of highschool students driving that far every day. So, I ate cafeteria food right up until the day I graduated.

Each state has a minimum number of days required for attendance, and all schools in the state have to abide by that.  Not all holidays or holy days, or religious observances are recognized for the purpose of a day off, and each year the State Board of Education determines what days will and won't be days off.  On days not recognized as free days, you would be required to attend or be counted absent.  So yes, it is legal.  That said, I can't imagine they actually intended you to attend on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I expect it is a misunderstanding or simply an oversight on somebody's part.   Check with who ever is in charge of the program, and get the answer you need.  There has to be a human responsible for oversight and that's the person you need to talk to- preferably before Thursday.   It's not whining, it's an honest request for information and clarification of the rules.   After all- what are you supposed to do if you actually get ill?  I don't imagine they want you lugging the keyboard and monitor into the bathroom and typing in between retches?  So some provisions have to be made, and you just need to find out what those are.  Just remember to be polite when you ask- they can't get upset with an honest, polite question.

My first question is if you knew the traffic is bad in the mornings, then why did you not leave earlier? Anyways, there should be a student affairs office on your campus. You should go to them to try and appeal it. You may get a hearing for your situation, however, they will ask you the same thing I just did. Good luck.

well, if you're a staff/faculty member, then you might, but it was at home, so it's really nobody's business.\nBesides that, maybe you should have considered the consequences before you went around acting like an as*hole, ya think?

I would just send out a company wide memo that says: All employees are  to put their names on their lunches...and any lunches(or leftovers) will be tossed on Fridays.  Somebody may have accidentally taken the lunch...maybe it looked similar to theirs...OR maybe you have an employee who isn't well off financially and really needed the food. There is no sense accusing people of stealing. Sending a polite memo to all is usually enough to let people know something happened...and that it is being taken care of. The offending party also knows..and probably will feel guilty and wont do it again!

my school is a college-preparatory private school (grades 7-12), and we have a building for food. On the bottom floor is the lunchroom and on the top are meeting rooms, offices, high school socialization area, and a cafe, where they sell a variety of fresh-made treats. Yeah, they do sell (really good!) freshly made cookies.

Unless your lunch break is paid for by the company you can take it whenever you want, it's your time, not theirs. As far as breaks, those are paid for by the company so I'm afraid you would have to take those as assigned.

Wow, and do they also say you can't eat meat on Friday's...\nNo, I don't think anyone can tell you what you can bring to work for you lunch/supper it's controlling and inappropriate. Shame on them.\n\nI'm sure if you contacted a Human Rights Office in you area they'll be able to help you further.

When I was in the Air Force, the meals were somewhat buffet style except that you told the people behind the food what you wanted.  You are not forced to eat anything you dont want.  Just simply dont request it.  If beef is the meat of the day, then just eat vegetarian that day.  No one will say anything about it.\n\nOk Wolfy, you owe me now.  This is Lori.  Remember?

yes.  some people have special dietary needs, like diabetics who need to eat at scheduled times.  also, hunger can be distracting, causing students to be less able to focus on their studies.  lunch at school shouldn't be required but it certainly should be available.  for some students from low income families their school lunch is the only meal they get all day. i also think breakfast should be available, but that wasn't really your question.

If you live in a dorm on campus, transportation is not a biggee. Food is pretty big. So are supplies (Books). tuition is really big if you count that. Cell phones, if wrongly used, will break the bank. If you are a clothes horse, you're in trouble. Partying?????? It can cost you more than you can possible imagine. Not only in terms of money but in the totality of life itself. Flunk out because of a lot of partying and see where life takes you.

Q. My employer is required through a union contract to give lunch and rest breaks. Are they required to provide an area away from the work stations for this purpose? \nAnonymous\n\nA. Iowa wage law does not have a specific law that addresses this issue, nor does federal wage law. You should check with your union representative to see if the union contract at issue requires that the lunch and rest breaks be located away from the work station.\nIowa Workforce Development

Most schools will allow or not say anything for the use of the local school after hours or when not in use.\n   However, the best thing is the direct approach. Go to the school principal and ask him/her.\n     If there are any requirement against it they will let you know. If not they will give their ok with what ever restrictions they may have.\n     That way you will not have to worry about breaking any rules or laws and getting kicked off.

It's not allowed... only employees are allowed in the food prep areas.  It's a violation of many health codes too.

that's a drag for sure. when my daughter was in middle school, all she wanted to eat for lunch was the salad bar...the lunch lady told her she could not have salad unless she had at least 2 items off the regular menu...gross out fried food she wasn't used to eating. so she refused. and believe it or not, they put her on salad bar restriction!!!! she just started taking her lunch to school forever after that. you might just hafta brown bag it in order to eat what you like and what is healthiest for you.
