Some teachers may say that students aren't responsible enough to go off campus and that they will only cause trouble to others in the area, but tell me why students in college go back to class even when some students have huge gaps of time before their next class and would spend that time making the most out of it. Instead of conversing with their friends they can use that place to study peacefully while replenishing their energy, since we can all say that the food here is nutritious and by allowing us to go to other places to eat you would allow us to be able further increase our responsibility making us reach maturity faster.

Some among the teachers and staff believe that students are too irresponsible and untrustworthy to be allowed open campus lunch. However, this is absolutely not the case. If students wanted to cut they would cut with or without open campus lunch. The majority of students are not troublemakers and are not immature children. The students are young adults who are mature enough to be trusted with responsibilities like these, and doing this would actually benefit the students and the teachers. It would allow them to eat the food they want and be more satisfied with their lunch, making them more energized and active later in the school day.

Teachers, staff members, and principles may say that having an off campus lunch is dangerous and not a good idea to have because the students are not being supervised by the school. However students are not children they are grown scholars eligible on being on their own. This can provide the grown scholars to have responsibilities and to gain their schools and parents trust on being responsible on their own. This can also teach each every scholar to be independent.

Some staff, and administrators can have an unintelligent opinion that students should have an off campus because, they are young adults and should be trusted. This opinion is foolish. Students are still children for the most part and some have trouble even doing the simplest and easiest homework assignments. I think an an exception can be made for seniors though.

Some idiotic people would believe that open campus lunch gives them the chance to ditch school and leave. But, if we had open campus lunch it would help us with time management because we have to figure out how far we can go and how much time well have to eat. Doing that will give the school the reason to trust us more and we wont have to have security guards always following our every move .

Some misinformed staff members may argue that students will cut and get into danger with an open campus lunch will not be responsible, which will cause more problems off campus, and with school. These staff members are incorrect for believing this because open campus lunch will teach students the responsibility of growing up and doing things on their own. If students decide to cause problems they will face consequences which will prevent the same occurring problems to happen and will also give students more freedom/ability enjoy lunch.

Some people believe that we aren't responsible enough to go off campus for lunch but what they don't understand is that we can get a job at the age of 16/17 and we are managing our school work at the same time that makes us responsible enough to go off campus for lunch.

Jaliyah

2018-09-19 18:40:57 UTC

Some teachers, admins, and staff might think and say that off campus lunch is bad and unsafe, but are schools safe these days? If we had off campus lunch it will make us more responsible and aware of our surroundings.

Josue

2018-09-19 18:40:59 UTC

Some people believe that we should't have off campus lunch just because of the amount of people that would cut. However, we are responsible for ourselves and our future and if we believe that we are capable of leaving the school and come back then they should be allowed to.

Some teachers believe that students are not responsible enough to go off campus for lunch, but in reality they will become more responsible and will be more prepared for their future. Administration doesn't trust the students to go to the Palma Plaza to buy food. Not eating in school can cause headaches and will be harder for the students to concentrate and do good in their class.

Emilio

2018-09-20 19:39:33 UTC

You might hear some misinformed people say that an off campus lunch might induce cutting or that it's no different than having lunch here on campus, but they are wrong. Many students who attend either the morning or afternoon Eden Area R.O.P classes make it back in time for their classes back on the high school campus. Keep in my mind that ALL of these students are allowed to go off campus for lunch. What does that tell you about these young, responsible scholars?

Max

2018-09-20 19:42:25 UTC

Hypocritical campus or school staff might believe giving students off campus lunch is a bad decision because it will make students late. But, the fact that the Palma Plaza (which has various fast-food shops) is literally beside the second campus make me believe that students have more than enough time to order and receive their food before the bell rings.

Gianna

giannar82157 — 2018-09-20 19:45:30 UTC

Some people might believe that more students will cut class if there is open campus lunch however, if a student decides to cut class that is their own decision and will serve their own detention. They don't trust us to go to the plaza to buy food, but I think that it would be better for students who don't even eat lunch because it looks bad.

Jonathan

Safety would be an issue being the most brought up, since most of us are not the age of 18 the school is responsible for us as soon as we step into the school zone. Though upperclassmen make smarter decisions and are more mature, wanting to be off campus during lunch is not a shocking request. Group and people packing might start problems off campus. This point might have some reputation considering the flooding at Walgreens, but with enough control, security, and safety rules considered and provided by the school, the thought of this becoming an even larger issue is mild.

sladee

Old-fashioned staff and administrators may believe giving students an off campus lunch is poorly guided because students will use it as a free opportunity to skip class. This point may seem to have some validity on the surface because kids are going to use this opportunity to skip. Nevertheless, my point still stands because if a student wants to skip they will find a way no matter what regulations are placed upon them. As of right now you can't even go to the other school administrative campus five minutes after lunch starts. Most security guards don't even abide by this rule and let students roam freely because even they understand the system is unfair. Giving mature students freedom fosters a healthy and trusting relationship between the school and its students and will only make school a more enjoyable place for its students. In conclusion if we want to make San Leandro High School a more progressive and understanding school we need to incorporate an open campus lunch, along with the many other California schools that are taking steps in the right direction.

2024-02-28 18:09:54 UTC

Some people believe having a closed campus appears more safer for students however with the fact that we have two separate campuses, main and FTK, students are already having to walk off campus and down the street just to get back on campus. This point may seem reasonable on the surface as safety should be one of the main priorities of schools. Nevertheless my point still stands as students are already having to go off campus and besides, it’s not like they’re having to walk miles and miles to get off campus lunch.

Ethan

2024-02-28 18:14:39 UTC

A few simple minded, non-intellectual, brain rotted, social media addicts may think that San Leandro High School should give students the option of an open campus lunch. While a very small minuscule amount of their arguments do in fact have some valid reasoning such as the idea that it gives students more freedoms and food options. The absolute vast majority of it however can be taken as the ramblings of a bunch of simpletons. This is all because of one simple reason that only people with an actual functioning frontal lobe could understand. Safety. The safety of the student population is the most important aspect of anything that happens during school hours. Allowing them to run off to wherever they want without proper supervision would jeopardize any sort of safety rules the school has set. Keeping students on campus would allow them to much more easily be watched over and prevent trouble from ever arising.

Elijah

2024-02-28 18:15:14 UTC

While most misguided people will think that an off campus lunch is surely the way to go, they couldn't be further from the truth. The school is responsible for the students well being and safety from the hours of 8:30 to 3:30 or once permitted to leave. With students being able to go wherever they please, there is guaranteed to be at least a few conflicts per week. Whether it be a fight or skipping class, there will be problems from that open canpus lunch, and the school can't and/or won't be there to help every student. If a student is injured off campus, it will not only be said student responsible for their own actions, but it will also involve the place where the problem happened as well as the school, creating a huge mess.

Nessa

2024-02-28 18:15:53 UTC

One common concern of San Leandro High School having an open campus lunch is the safety of students. This point may have some merit, not having all students in one area can be worrisome to the adults responsible. Though, so many kids leave campus anyway and our schools seating areas are just not big enough for all of us, just about 3,000 students. Even with our second campus the seating is scarce, you may find yourself eating lunch on a hallway floor or staircase. As for the safety of the students we can consider two things. One being added security at the Palma Plaza corners, as well as there being restrictions on who can and cannot leave campus. For example, only upperclassmen can leave campus and must show ID before officially leaving the schools property and having a time limit of five to ten when you can exit campus. These precautions can insure the safety and well being of the students at San Leandro High School

Edward

2024-02-28 18:16:04 UTC

Most strict teachers, admins and staff members believe that having off campus lunch is chaotic, or dangerous for the students. In a overseeing way I can see how some students may prove to be "chaotic" but I believe that having off campus allows us to be able to choose what we want to eat instead of a scheduled mounts of school food. It also gives students the opportunity to have a little freedom instead of being constricted to the grounds of the school. Think of a Job, a construction ground for example. When the workers go on break some may leave the work grounds to go eat somewhere with their colleagues or to get some other work done in the meantime.

Desmond

2024-02-28 18:16:16 UTC

I do think that we should have an open campus lunch because it will give students more freedom to eat the things they wan to eat. This seems relevant because most students complain about school lunch. While this may be the case, safety is the key factor in this decision, and while I believe most students are responsible, majority of students are irresponsible and would abuse this opportunity.

Chanelle

2024-02-28 18:16:55 UTC

A common concern that some of the SLHS administration have with allowing students to have an off campus lunch is the irresponsibility and safety issues that will arise. However, our ability to walk a long distance from FTK to main everyday debunks the fact that we are not responsible enough to have that privilege, as well as the claim of not being safe, when in fact, FTK campus is right next to the plaza. This makes the point look less credible because then it would be implied that our schools surroundings/area is not a safe space to be at. But if it really is a concern to the administration, then a couple of security guards being nearby can't hurt.

cindy

2024-02-28 18:16:55 UTC

Most people might think that going off campus for lunch is a bad idea becauseof the students safety and some people might think people will just leave and not come back. But i think its a good idea because students already leave campus to walk to the other so i don't think its that big of a deal to be able to go out. And i feel like it would give the students more freedom and it will make them feel like they wouldn't have to skip so much.

Christopher

2024-02-28 18:17:08 UTC

Some people, teachers, and staff believe that having an open campus lunch is a danger to the students. This point may be credible to an extent because it does oppose risk involving a public open area in the plaza. While this may be true students are already able to move across a block to the FTK building without any serious peril and to reduce the risk of danger we can add security to the plaza to make the area more safer in addition students will able to enjoy a lunch with more variety of food options and more space to hangout during lunchtimes.

Alondra

2024-02-28 18:17:27 UTC

Some people may believe that an open campus is dangerous or unsafe for students because they dont have any supervision from the school but i disagree. The school already does so much with putting security by the palma plaza parking lot to stop students from going but why not just let the student go get lunch with the security outside. Open campus lunch will be better for students who dont eat or enjoy the school lunch and end up starving the rest of the day because of it.

Tre

2024-02-28 18:17:52 UTC

Indubitable, we should have off campus lunch no question asked. Our safety can be concerning at times to elders because we arent over the age of 18, with that being said we are under there responsibility that also a major part in the reasoning because if something happens to us than its there fault. So that understandable why they dont want us off campus. At the same time though if they care so much for our safety why do we walk past the plaza to get to FTK. In my opinion and others opinion we think its just as the same as going to the plaza. Its n like its a barrier wall to protect us you know.

Tupou

2024-02-28 18:18:03 UTC

Some admin think that students should not have an open campus lunch because of safety purposes. However, what they don't understand is that we get off from the main campus everyday and walk to the other campus and that doesn't make any sense of what they are doing we are capable of ourselves and they should allow us for an open campus lunch.

Lemaj

2024-02-28 18:18:34 UTC

I don't think there should be open campus lunch at all because the high school students shouldn't be able to leave a safe and secure campus and be able to go out on their own without watch. I mean there is some truth to that but I believe 17-18 year old kids that have their own cars and drive can handle themselves for 30 minutes to a hour. As you can see these kids are driving. They drive themselves to wherever they need to go including school, so to think that these kids would be unsafe going to lunch and getting food just doesn't make sense.

Pauline

2024-02-28 18:19:36 UTC

Some people believe that San Leandro High School should have an open campus lunch because they think it is a really good idea and can make them full and have the energy to go to their next class because honestly they are not serving good foods, I think this school doesn't have enough foods, especially when you eat rice everyday it doesn't make me full. Students are responsible to go out on the campus and eat what they want, they are young adults that are responsible and independent. They argue tat it would give students more food options and a break from the school environment. Others think that an open campus lunch would encourage students to explore the local community. It is true that students would have the chance to visit nearby places and become more familiar with their surroundings. Some people believe that an open campus lunch would provide students with a chance to socialize and interact with their peers outside the classroom. It is true that students would be able to spend time with friends and have conversations in a more relaxed setting. Overall, there are different opinions about whether San Leandro High School should have an open campus lunch, but it is clear that it would have various benefits for students. No offense, but honestly they are not serving good and healthy foods, and kinda sucks.

Daniel

2024-02-28 19:01:59 UTC

I know that some students have an open campus lunch. but i think that some students have the excuse to look around School during lunch time and some students did not. in my opinion San Leandro high has to have an opening lunch.

Chris

2024-02-28 19:09:24 UTC

I think San Leandro should have open lunch because students in San Leandro don't like the school food here. Some people believe that the school should have an open campus lunch because the food in San Leandro high School does not fill students up. This point may seem to have validity on the surface because people can sneak out and go home. I see some students that get open lunch. The school food doesn't even make some students full so they don't do well in class because they are still hungry.. So if we get open lunch we can have students that will be full and will have a lot of energy to do work in class. Although these critics may have been correct before, new evidence shows that people that get food from off campus usually gets full and the people that get school food usually don't get full.

Jordan

2024-02-28 19:56:16 UTC

We should have an off campus lunch because the only money we are wasting is are own not the schools money and we should be able to go off campus because we are all mature people and we should be able to go out on are own because that what is high school is helping us out to be able to live in the real world and in the real world we eat outside so that's why we should be able to.

Xiao

2024-02-28 20:01:26 UTC

Given many reasons, many people believe that students should stay in campus to eat lunch. People pointed out that it is dangerous allowing students to go out of campus, believing students would use this chance to skip school. This point may have some merit because this leads to students believing that they are untrustworthy to go out to get lunch. Nevertheless, my point still stands because having open-campus lunch would boast students' happiness, getting whatever they can afford to, not just having an school lunch that they don't want to eat.

Darius

2024-02-28 20:01:28 UTC

Students may use open lunch as an excuse to leave school for other reasons and students cannot be protected if they are not on campus. Although students may leave school for something else and they may not have the same level as security as other students, I do not think that it is fair to punish everyone for what only a few students may do, and most students (Juniors/Seniors) are old enough to protect themselves and if not, they have enough resources and common sense to ask for help when needed.

Joshua

2024-02-28 20:08:08 UTC

Some people feel that open campus lunch encourages kids to misbehave. This is true for some kids...but most, simply want the freedom to choose what they eat. Some school food hurts students stomach's, whether being too greasy or just not yummy. Other foods like subway can not only be more refreshing but also healthier at the sametime!

Denzel

2024-02-28 20:11:22 UTC

Some people may believe that an open-campus lunch will be dangerous for students, and that students will have a good opportunity to get into trouble without the supervision of the school. While I can agree that there is some validity to those concerns, I believe that they should not be enough to stop students from going off campus during lunch. Most high school students are responsible enough to take care of themselves off campus for less than an hour, since most are fine going out by themselves outside of school. And for those that make trouble, there will be consequences. I don't think a few irresponsible students should stop everyone from going off campus for lunch.

Daniel

2024-02-28 20:12:04 UTC

I think high school can have an open campus lunch students need to relax and eat food. I think some countrarguments are that some schools have security and you can't have an open campus lunch. As i say, some schools have an open campus lunch but i don't think that if you are a junior or a senior you have to get out of school.

Mika

2024-02-28 20:13:13 UTC

A common argument against off-campus lunch is that it would only encourage irresponsible students to leave even more. I admit that there is truth in this argument, but I also believe that students would be less inclined to leave during class. I think it gives just the right about of freedom to students while they are away from home. Off-campus lunch would allow picky students, or those with dietary needs, to eat without having to wait until after school. We can all agree, being hangry should be avoided at all costs.

Nasir

2024-02-28 20:13:53 UTC

My opinion on this is that i think students should have off campus lunch. The reason why i think students should have off campus lunch is because the school lunch sometimes isnt as good as the off campus lunch places. Sometimes it causes students not to eat because they dont like the school lunch so it isnt fair that people cant enjoy the food they want.

Kim

2024-02-28 20:14:41 UTC

Our school has taken precautions for different problems, and although they have been working to give our school a bigger opportunity in becoming a safe environment, I think restricting out of campus lunch should not be something we should have to fight for. Many higher ups believe that it is simply just too dangerous for our students to be out of school for lunch, but we are also trusted to walk 2 blocks and cross the street on a big road (unsupervised). SO I do not think an out of campus lunch should be so hard to agree to. One might also argue, but what if they do not come back and get to class late, tainting their attendance? There can be certain rules that are put down to prevent that from happening. Putting down boundaries helps students know just how far they can go, and allow security to be more aware of where the students are at all times. Now, of course there will be students that will not follow these rules, and I agree that some students may even just leave school entirely, but there can be expectations and punishments that can take place to prevent this from happening. They do not have to be lenient, by all means, we can include expulsion for a very severe case. But limiting what children can eat is definitely better then students not eating at all because they do not like the school food. Put students health, integrity, and trust first by building a refreshing and safe community for students.

2024-02-28 20:15:32 UTC

Students should have an open campus lunch because the food is better and we can go to our house if we live close. I think this school doesnt have enough options for school and it isnt that good. I think people can fend for themselves if something happens. I think its an option for if you want to go or not. People should want to go enjoy themselves at lunch

Mario

2024-02-28 20:16:10 UTC

People feel that there shouldn't be an open campus lunch due to the safety of the students or the trust in students who would skip. However, there are various reason why there should be open campus lunch, students are old enough to make responsible choices and students don't like the food on campus and don't eat making them lose focus in class. Sometimes there isn't enough food for students and sometimes it isn't healthy.

Andrew A

2024-02-28 20:16:33 UTC

Many might think that having an open campus lunch would be a bad idea because kids are roaming free but I believe it would be beneficial because kids can get lunch that hey want to eat that tastes good. you might think there will be more fights or freshman shouldn't be allowed or even that kids will skip class, but this is all the students responsibility. fights will occur anywhere and the staff should try to resolve the problems between the students before a fight occurs. We can maintain this rule if we are strict with the staff security and ID checks. It should not be hard since we already have these procedures in place.

Gia

2024-02-28 20:17:15 UTC

Some people think that it would help student to be responsible with themselves and how to manage their own time. Another reason is that not all all of the students like school food, sometime student would consider to eat something else, like their favorite meal. Although, open campus could be prepare student for college and for their life skills. That is not the case. As we see not all of the student can be responsible with their education. This leads to students skipping class and not fully attending school. This can also impact the safety of the students while traveling outside of campus.

Austin

2024-02-28 20:17:23 UTC

I say we should not have open campus lunch because knowing the schools environment and students after 3 years being a student here at SL. A lot of students should not be trusted with the freedom of open campus lunch. Supporters of SLHS open campus lunch say that they should have open campus lunch because they are Responsible, mature, and we have ID checks in place for campus safety. But some students who say this are the opposite of Responsible and Mature enough do to the big curve in the Statistics of Grades and Dedication in school. Nevertheless, my truth still stands because with all the talk, numbers and statistics don't lie.

Aniya

2024-02-28 20:17:35 UTC

A lot of people my age agree that we should have off campus lunch. having off campus lunch is a way to give the students a sense of independence and control. it could also help with crowding on campus during lunch time. helping shorten the lines so people wont have to wait for lunch just to eat. i think that going off campus can help friendships grow stronger, and excel to new levels. Although having off campus lunch opens up the risk that people wont come back to school when lunch is over, hurting attendance. it is also a financial nightmare. it would cost a fortune to buy food everyday. and if you're going to a place where you need to drive, don't even get me started on gas prices. I went to a different school during my freshman year, and they allowed off campus lunch to all students. and i can speak from experience, i would skip class and even skip school sometimes because of off campus lunch. so that is why i don't think we should have off campus lunch.

Stephany M

2024-02-28 20:17:38 UTC

Some teachers and staff argue that students should not have an open campus lunch to keep students safe. This may appear to be credible because something bad could happen outside the school and they don't trust us and don't want to take the responsibility. This point is true, but it is unimportant because my stomach matters more than and the school lunch is not the best and I prefer to enjoy a good meal outside the school with friends because it is our break and I'm tired of being inside the school all day.

Alex

2024-02-28 20:17:46 UTC

teachers may say that having an off campus lunch would not be safe and would not be a great idea because students would go unsupervised. While there may be some truth to this argument, students are at the age where they are fully capable of taking care of themselves and their own safety, this off campus lunch would also help refresh students and help them be able to reengage into their learning after a break for lunch.

easton

2024-02-28 20:17:49 UTC

i feel like we should have off campus lunch cuz the security guards will get a break and the students can be happier. some students might not like the nasty food that they give out sometimes. and if some kids dont wanna be healthy thats they problem, and that food is way better.

bernalyn d.

2024-02-28 20:17:58 UTC

Opponents may argue that schools that allow students to go out of campus may not be secured and be open minded. This point may seem to have validity on the surface but many securities can be present during the time. Nevertheless, my point still stands because having securities that we fully trust can make students surroundings attentive. Students can stand the chance of being protected while getting the lunch they want. In this case, it will not be dangerous and there will be less chaos.

Dangku

2024-02-28 20:19:42 UTC

Some people think that with an open campus, there will be more options for people to choose. Some people are more picky than others, they don't want to always choose the same thing everyday or it will get boring and not interesting. Although these critics may have been correct before, new evidence shows that do we have trust for the people that goes off campus

malachi

2024-02-29 20:08:12 UTC

I believe students should have an open campus lunch because it teaches students responsibility and timeliness since they need to make it back to class in time. Some may argue that some students aren't at the maturity level to be able to go to and from school during school hours. This may be true, since freshman students are still adapting from middle school and any immature habits they may still have. My solution is to make a rule that only students aged 16+ or are an upperclassman (Juniors and Seniors) should be able to go off campus. I also think we should implement a system keeping track of who leaves and who is able to leave during lunch.

Justin Stokes

2024-02-29 20:09:40 UTC

In my opinion I do believe off campus lunch should be a thing in our school. I think this because It helps the security guards get a break, it helps student get a wider range of foods to enjoy and also helps students get a wider range of experiences. Although this can cause some troubles such as fights outside of school or students stealing from shops this can not be blamed on the school because they didnt force or advise students to go out of school.

Sarina

2024-02-29 20:11:03 UTC

People tend to argue about how an off campus or open campus lunch would be dangerous for students or it's just a reason for them to skip school; however, students have been doing this since the beginning of the school year. Although their arguments about open campus are technically correct, students here at San Leandro High are not elementary students nor from middle school. Most students here are about to become a legal adult and they're about to have responsibilities and are able to think for themselves. Yes students may already leave campus, but they know what they're doing. Having a closed campus lunch is obsolete, for example, the people who set up their food stands between FTK and Main, that's outside food isn't it? In my opinion, it's one block away, and if you're already at FTK it's on the same block. But, if administration doesn't trust their scholars enough to do so they could simply bring more security guards to the plaza despite it sounding like a lot of work, I'm sure more students will stop complaining about closed campus lunch. In the end an off campus lunch would make most likely the smallest difference to what we have now. Scholars have to learn to be responsible with how they use their time off campus. And if they're irresponsible and waste all their time off campus their consequence would be how they are at school, whether it be grades or being tardy every day.

2024-02-29 20:13:15 UTC

I believe that students should have open campus lunch, for it would be better for the students, staff, and people.

I'm a San Leandro High student, I know for a fact that the lunch lines are outrageous and detrimental to students and people's time, Which is why i root for San Leandro high to allow open campus lunch. Also open campus lunch could promote other things like small businesses in need, exercise, and whatever the student wants or need, Although what i say is true, it depends if the student is mature for this change. - Annaya M.

while some may disagree with off campus I believe that off campus lunch will be great for students so that we can get food that we actually enjoy instead of eating the same boring foods everyday. some may argue that students will be unsafe, irresponsible, and not follow the rules that are set for off campus lunch. while this point may seem to have validity on the surface that yea maybe students will leave school. While this may very unlikely be the case my thesis of students should have off campus lunch is still true because young adults of San leandro high school who are mature, and trustworthy are tired of eating the same nasty foods, and would like a change for once of being able to have a satisfying enjoyable meal while having a great day at school.

San leandro high should have an open campus lunch because so we wont have to starve and students can focus better in their classes because they ate a good meal. people dont eat for a whole day or early in the morning because they dont feel like eating and because the school lunch is not what they prefer of eating. And the school district dosent allow that because student might leave somewhere else and not come back.

some people argue that it would be dangerous for students wandering around the streets during lunch break

that is not the case as we see open campus lunch will give students a freedom to go out it can help them be more mature and it also give them choice to get food in cafeteria or buy food outside the school and I also think if we dint have a open campus I think it can make the campus overcrowded

I think there should be a open campus in school I say this because sometimes I feel like the school lunch might not be the best chooise to eat and people can spend time somewere else to get there mind of school to actually see the purpouse of lunch because in a real job you get to go out for lunch and come back to work and it feels good coming back to work or school with a full stomach of foood that you actually enjoy. I think that some people might disagree because they think that other things can happpend outside of school but thats pretty normal and there's outside rules that can affect peoples bad decisions.

I believe that juniors and seniors should be able to have open campus lunch because they are more responsible than freshmen and sophomores. Although some people believe that everyone in high school should have an open campus lunch because they believe everyone is responsible enough. This point may seem to have some validity on the surface but they couldn't be more than wrong. Nevertheless, my point still stands because we should be able to trust the juniors and seniors to come back at the appropriate tie and are ready to learn once they come back .

my opinion is that slhs should have off campus lunch. some things that you might be conserned of is "why should highschoolers be able to go for lunch what if they dont come back" or " it is dangerous". it would make sense why you may think tat however that is not the case. either way students skip class so what difference would it make if campus was open.

I think our school should have open-campus lunch because yes I can see why it could be dangerous, but think about all the good things that come with open campus lunch. You get to bond with friends outside of school and also, our lunch lines would be way shorter because people will mostly prefer going out for lunch instead of eating on campus. Us students are growing everyday so we need to be able to eat the food we want to eat.

in my opinion San Leandro high school should be an open school because most of the people doesn't like food from here, we get over the food and at some point its just nasty and the district wouldn't have to spend more money on different meals, they should make some rules like 5 minutes before the bell ring they stop selling to students and if they want to buy something they will have to show their id , so that we can have more choice to eat and be with energy at school,

I believe that 11th and 12th graders at San Leandro high should have off campus lunch, so that students have the opportunity to become responsible. Many students and staff may believe that students who go off campus for lunch may get into altercations or not make it back to campus on time. While this can be true students will learn how to make smart decisions. Having off campus lunch is a better option because it will tech students responsibility.

I think allowing juniors and seniors at San Leandro High School to have open lunch on campus could lead to various safety concerns and disruptions. Allowing students to leave campus during lunchtime may increase the risk of accidents or incidents, such as students getting into fights or being exposed to harmful situations outside of school premises. Additionally, it might be challenging for school staff to ensure the safety and supervision of students who choose to leave campus during lunch.

While safety concerns are valid, implementing strict guidelines and protocols can mitigate these risks. For instance, the school could require students to sign out and back in upon leaving and returning to campus, ensuring accountability. Additionally, designated areas near the school could be identified as safe zones for students to visit during open lunch, with supervision from staff or security personnel. By establishing clear rules and boundaries, the benefits of open lunch, such as fostering independence and reducing cafeteria congestion, can outweigh the potential drawbacks.

However, it's important to recognize that open lunch policies can offer opportunities for students to gain independence and responsibility. Allowing juniors and seniors to leave campus during lunchtime could help prepare them for life beyond high school by allowing them to make decisions about where to eat and how to manage their time responsibly. Moreover, it could alleviate overcrowding in the cafeteria and give students a chance to explore nearby dining options, promoting a sense of community engagement.

I believe people should not have an open campus lunch in San Leandro High School. Some people believe that open campus lunch is a better way of having lunch with friends, will be fun and will be less crowded in schools. This point may seem to have validity on the surface, but it might lead to chaos for the school and the restaurants and stores. This would lead to chaos for the restaurants due to the amount of people at each restaurant and the time for people to enter back into the school before the bell will ring. As well as the lack of students that might not go back to school after eating their lunch.

Ruben

In my opinion we should keep lunch a closed campus. The main issue here is how dangerous it could be if we left. Now you might be thinking that either way there is danger in here and fights still happen. While I can understand that point, I still think it's way safer in here the out there.

2026-01-07 17:07:56 UTC

San Leandro High School should have an open campus lunch but just at a certain area. We need to reconsider that, even though students are at lunch time, that does not mean they do not have any more school hours. Students going too far away from the campus would provoke them to come late to class and lose very important parts of their education. Due to that, I do believe an open campus at lunch time would be great, just not that far away.

Most teachers, admins, and staff members believe that having open campus lunch will put students in harm and believe that students can cause problems. I can see how someone whose responsibility is to watch and make sure these students are safe may prove to be a problem, however I believe that open campus lunch would prove to be more helpful for the students and their learning simply because more students would be able to eat what they want, a lot of students don't eat lunch here because it sucks causing them to be hungry and unfocused in class but if you allow them to go off campus and get the food they desire they won't be hungry during class and will be more attentive which will lead to more learning and better education.

I think that our school should allow an open campus lunch because, Students get to be responsible with their time out and be aware of their surroundings and what they can do with it.

Though I do also believe some people are not responsible yet or not so much responsible which is why I think this "open campus lunch" should be mainly aimed towards the 16+ students (Juniors, Seniors). Because either or they're going to be entering the real world anyway, And not everyone will be able to protect them in certain situations. Which is why I think administrations should give them time to adapt, And see where it goes because in a year or two they're out of this place anyway and will get to explore the world in their own way.

2026-01-07 17:10:26 UTC

Most Staff and administrators believe that San Leandro High school should stay a closed campus. Many of these teachers, staff and administrators fear students causing conflicts, trouble, and danger. The main concern from staff is safety concerns and the well being of students. In my opinion, I believe it would be beneficial for San Leandro High school should be a open campus. While the concerns for conflicts, trouble and danger are valid, I believe that the students should be given a chance to leave at lunch. Students will be able to leave and enjoy the food they can get outside of school, giving them more of a opportunity to do their work and focus.

I believe students should have a open campus lunch at San Leandro high school. To people that are saying its safer have clearly not seen what happens inside of the schools. Instead of blaming it on students why doesn't anyone see that the security for our school don't do their job right. They go on their phones all day or literally just go to sleep sitting in their chairs or their little golf carts. If we just had security actually do their job it would be safe to go off campus. To not let people entering adult hood go off campus is wrong. You shouldn't keep people stuck in 1 area and then give them a punishment for it. So I believe that this school should be a open campus.

2026-01-07 17:11:28 UTC

Open campus lunch seems like Great idea on the outside and a lot of students agree with that idea but in reality isn't a so great idea. Sure it would help with line control around school and not having to wait such excessive lines just to get chicken tenders, and also would improve the crowding that happens when lunch ends seems like a great idea right? No it gives students a great sense of independence but with that students take advantage like causing uncontrollable crowds, chaos in stores in the range of off campus lunch and which what may cause damages to property disturbance to civilians, and also with that fact having off campus lunch would lead to more students not wanting to return to school causing a risk to the school.

2026-01-07 17:12:37 UTC

Students should have the right to go out of campus to eat the foods they desire and have a meal they enjoy and would rather eat to where we feel comfortable to fully function the next periods. The argument with this is if students will come back, I believe that as a student and as a young adult you know what's right from wrong to know when to come back on time after your lunch. Another argument is the danger or safety of these kids, again these are highschoolers we should know by know how to get around a few blocks away from the school to get the food that will make us feel better for the day. Nevertheless students while some could disagree with and have their strong beliefs on the danger and worries of responsibility this is a place to learn and grow so let the students spread their wings and fly.

Brandon

2026-01-07 17:12:40 UTC

San Leandro High should not allow students to go off-campus for lunch, as this provides unnecessary danger for students. Some students may think that they can handle themselves, but they don't know the dangers of being outside. Some may also claim that school food is not just good enough, if this is so, why not pack lunch beforehand instead of seeking danger, and even if they managed to get off-campus, restaurants will take a long time preparing and making their dish that by the time they get served, the time for lunch has ended.

Many schools have different views and biases whenever it comes to having or refuting against open campus lunch for students. For many, they believe that allowing students to walk out of campus to go elsewhere during lunch is very risky and could result in serious accidents, which is definitely valid, however, many make it seem as if school staff does not make any regulations or rules for students when leaving campus grounds. If schools were to have the opportunity of leaving campus during lunch with the schools staff following appropriate protocol, then it gives the students more freedom to roam than to feel suffocated in one place. Additionally, many students in high school have already developed a sense of independence and are responsible for their own actions.

2026-01-07 17:12:52 UTC

In my opinion I think we should have off campus lunch because it helps students become more independent.I think the students in San Leandro high school have done a great job this year that proves to the staff in San Leandro to give them a reward for good behavior which can lead us to getting off campus lunch.This could show the school that were also trust worthy because we would not take advantage of the opportunity.At the same time we would also have to need all the students to get on the page and help us keep this opportunity so we would have to be in our best behavior.

2026-01-07 17:12:56 UTC

Some people believe that the school should have an open campus lunch, I believe in the opposite. I believe that this school should NOT have an open campus lunch mainly to safety concerns of students. Sure, it may feel nice eating anywhere near the campus, and choose the food you like, but it isn't worth the risks, you have to take into consideration the dangers, and while the chances of running into danger is lower than other schools, it is NEVER zero and there always will be a chance of danger, whatever it is, to get to you. You could encounter fights, strangers that will harm you, etc. While I believe students can eat outside campus, they should do it after school with accompanied friends so that if one gets in trouble, the others will try to help or at least be a witness so that it will make the law enforcement's lives easier in helping that endangered student.

I think San Leandro high school should be open campus because students have to leave school property to reach FTK and plus, during lunch, students go to the plaza and buy food, and they still come back in time for class because it's either going to school to have a successful career or skip class and fail the school year, its the students choice what they want to do.

2026-01-07 17:13:30 UTC

Students should have an open campus lunch in San Leandro High School. It gives students some freedom and could benefit them in a positive way by giving them choices of what to eat. Teachers may argue that it is unsafe and such, as there is some truth to that argument, students are at the age of where they can take care of themselves and are responsible for making the right decision. This can make students feel better as they are full, leading to positive effects like attentiveness in class and a better education.

2026-01-07 17:17:01 UTC

Students should be able to have an open campus lunch. Some people may say that we shouldn't because it could lead to fights and would be dangerous. This claim does not make any sense because students have to go off campus to walk to FTK everyday and most of the time nothing happens, proving that students are responsible enough for an open campus lunch.

San Leandro high School shouldn't be open lunch campus to everyone because some students don't return home on time for class, causing traffic congestion. Many students also skip meals and don't return on time, and sometimes they gather and cause problems. Families may not allow their children to leave school.Parking spaces can be difficult to find for teachers or workers because of students cars.

School teachers and staff might think that going off campus for lunch is dangerous because of the students safety and that's reasonable, but I believe we should go out since they already go out anyway and it will make them feel free and trustworthy. Some students go out to buy food since they probably don't like the food in the cafeteria and that's reasonable, honestly the staff from school should trust the students and let them do what they want. Students are responsible for their smart choices that they want to do and if the staff let them go out then they will feel more comfortable rather than having to skip. This would help with having a better overall school day.

Students should be able to leave campus during lunch because when students are allowed to step off campus or choose from more food options, they’re more likely to eat meals they enjoy instead of skipping lunch altogether. Open lunches also help students learn responsibility, like managing time and making smart decisions about what they eat and where they go. For many students, getting a break from school during lunch can reduce stress and make the rest of the day more productive, creating a more positive overall school experience.

shayl95253 — 2026-01-07 17:19:18 UTC

Our school administration believes that having lunch on campus is the best decision due to the concern of students' safety and well-being. This point may seem valid because a lot of people sneak out of school and serious conflicts can occur, which the school prevents by having a closed-campus lunch. Although our school worries about the well-being of students, they should reconsider the positive outcomes of an open-campus lunch. Going out for lunch can help grow healthier friendships and make them feel happier. Not only this, our school should put more trust in students, as we are old enough to take care of ourselves and be more responsible.

Students should have open campus lunch. Of course we would need to have some ground rules like, you can only get a pass if you maintain an average GPA and not many detentions. This will make the open campus lunch a privilege and something students have to work for. School would be a lot less crowded and the lunch lines would be less overwhelming. Open campus lunch can give the students that independent feeling and be able to enjoy whatever lunch they would like.

Jace

2026-01-07 17:21:08 UTC

Among the students, some may believe that an open campus is better. Although there is the few that will take advantage with this. Concerns for violence and vandalism may arise. If bad students choose to take advantage of it the school will be at fault. However, with limitations the school may be able to manage a off-campus lunch. The ability to go off-campus shall be reserved for the Juniors and Seniors. If this ability were given to all grades, stores and restaurants may undergo chaos. A massive overflow of orders can decrease time for people to get back to school, it may even take the whole lunch for those to get their sustenance. That's why we should limit how many people we can go per day, we should also monitor who goes and who doesn't.

San Leandro high school should let students have lunch campus because some students don't like the school food, or they are new and don't know where to get food from. Also muslims do not know whether it is Halal or Haram.

Some people argue that San Leandro High School should have an open campus lunch because it gives students more freedom and helps them develop independence and responsibility. They believe students need a break from campus restrictions and that leaving school grounds during lunch better prepares them for college life, where students are expected to manage their own time. However, this argument overlooks important concerns. High school students are still minors, and the school is responsible for their safety during the school day. Allowing students to leave campus increases the risk of traffic accidents, or unsafe encounters. Additionally, open campus lunch can create inequality, as not all students can afford to buy food off campus, which may lead to exclusion. It can also result in tardiness and skipped classes after lunch. Therefore, despite the appeal of increased freedom, an open campus lunch would pose safety, equity, and academic risks that outweigh its benefits.

Students of San Leandro High should be able to have open campus lunch. not all students like cafeteria food and it will leave students to be responsible. But at the same time San Leandro High should at the least limit who they allow to go off campus because not all students are best at making choices and would take advantage for the wrong reasons. And i know for a fact that many school staff may be against my words but many students are more trustworthy than they may think and that little few that aren't will be noticed fast from security. and if San Leandro doesn't trust students they should have school staff be around places near our school to monitor where everyone is going and doing. the school staff should only not trust us if we as students give them a reason to.

2026-01-07 19:11:13 UTC

San Leandro High should have an open campus lunch, although some school administrators believe otherwise saying that they would be late but those are a select few of students ruining things for the responsible kids that come to class on time.

2026-01-07 19:11:31 UTC

Students should have open campus lunch because it seems fair for students to get food outside of school than here. The school food quality sucks to the point people get sick of it. Students are independent and should be free to have open campus lunch.

2026-01-07 19:11:45 UTC

Some people think we should not have a open campus lunch in San Leandro high school because it is dangerous, but open lunch would better for everyone because it allows us to take a break from the campus and come back. Also a lot of people don't like the school lunch so they would be able to get get something else by having a open campus lunch

off campus lunch

2026-01-07 19:12:38 UTC

Students should be able to have off campus lunch, theres so many ways staff can go about for an example give detention if you don't make it in class on time. Students should have the schools trust that they will come back. Looking as someones attendance before leaving campus could be really helpful or keeping something valuable so the student can come back and get it.

2026-01-07 19:15:03 UTC

SLHS should allow open campus lunches. Yes there can be downsides, such as kids leaving and not coming back or altercations between two students. Though many are not like that, having an open campus lunch would allow a better break for the students letting them cool off as they need too, and also is healthier for them. Many students don't eat school lunch for religious, dietary, or simply because they don't like the food from the school. Having an open campus lunch would allow students to actually eat and get the energy they need to complete the rest of the day instead of skipping since they don't have the energy to continue their classes. Eating lunch is crucial for many because they often don't have time for breakfast. San Leandro highschool should allow open campus lunches.

2026-01-07 19:15:11 UTC

I think San Leandro should have off campus lunch, students should be trusted to go off campus and come back after lunch is over.

2026-01-07 19:15:52 UTC

San Leandro High should allow open campus lunch. Opponents may disagree and believe it could possibly be harmful and or unnecessary. While those points are valid, there are other ways to go about this situation to ensure there are better chances to give students a safe environment. Allowing open school lunch is an opportunity for both students and staff to trust eachother. This is also a time to prove students can be responsible.

Christian

2026-01-07 19:17:25 UTC

I believe having and open campus lunch would be a positive addition to the school, but people might think that students would abuse this and people could be tempted to skip school or even just leave school due to them already being outside, but that could happen it just wouldn't happen with the right preparations. It would be limited to juniors and seniors only because juniors and seniors already go out of campus with rop so if we see an open campus as danger we might as well cancel ROP and while were at it also crossing the street from ftk to main, lets just have a bus transport them every period since its too dangerous apparently. Students can actually already do this during lunch they could just leave the campus due to them already being outside but they don't because we trust them and they know we trust them so we really could trust them with an open campus.

off campus lunch

2026-01-07 19:20:32 UTC

San Leandro High School should let students have an open campus lunch because it gives the students a sense of responsibility and what actions they should take. This would allow students to have more freedom and choices on what they can do on their free time and they could eat whatever they want. Some mean, strict, and ruthless teachers might say the students might come back late to class but that is only a few students that would be late and they would probably not be late the next time.And other staff members students will think that students will take this as an advantage to skip class and leave school.

San Leandro High should have an open campus lunch. There could be downsides to this decision such as students not returning in time, or problems occuring outside of the school that they are notified of, but, there are many reasons why San Leandro High should have a open campus lunch that would benefit students. One reason is that the schools lunch lines get super overcrowded and block hallways for students and if there were an open campus lunch it would be less crowded and students have less stress going around the halls. Another reason is San Leandro High can make the open campus lunch something to work for, if you are late every time you go out on the open lunch, that privallege gets taken away from you. This way, students start to be more responsible with their decisions.

2026-01-07 19:23:16 UTC

Many unemotional, hard-hearted teachers think that students can take advantage of their freedom with an open campus by sneaking out or causing mischief. But not all students are like this, a lot of students value this free time by resting and socializing and should be trusted.

school of campus

2026-01-07 19:23:55 UTC

Some people think that lunch of campus will have students skipping school more often, I personally think students would have a lot more food options to eat and students and more opportunities. Students can feel overstimulated by being in the school campus for 7 hours, Our staff can go so many ways about it for an example they can check the students attendance before leaving campus or trade something valuable so that they know the students will come back, give them detention when they're late to the period after lunch. School should give there full trust the same way students give staff.

2026-01-07 19:25:19 UTC

Some people think San Leandro shouldn't have a off campus lunch but I believe that kids should have a open campus lunch . I think that some kids do not eat lunch here and maybe want other lunch from outside of school and kids should have freedom also the kids might feel good because the school is trusting them but its also a break from the school and some kids may even need it .

2026-01-07 19:28:37 UTC

A lot of people think open campus lunch is a bad idea but they are mistaken. I think they should allow open campus lunch because it allows students to decide what they want to eat and what they would enjoy. Though it could be dangerous in some way in a way that students could walk off and leave, get into trouble, or come back to class late but these situations could be avoided if students are responsible and open campus lunch can be a good decision eitherway. Some students don't like the school food and don't eat lunch so if they have the option for open campus lunch they could choose what they prefer and enjoy so they actually eat. They should be required to show their ID when coming out and coming back in, for safety concerns/reasons. Open campus lunch could possibly have students increase skill for responsibility.

CLAIGH

2026-01-07 19:28:44 UTC

I think san Leandro highschool should have an open campus lunch as there would be limitations coming with it, there should also be a new department where the staff in that department would do a background check if they are eligible for an open campus lunch and once they pass the background check they would be granted a open lunch pass that would allow them to either deliver their food online or going out of campus for a limited amount of time to eat their lunch, some people believe that with the limited amount of time they have to eat their lunch some wont manage to even eat their lunch once the time is done for them to eat, well in this case that wont happen as all the teachers would still welcome students to eat their lunch as long as they clean their own mess.

2026-01-07 19:29:15 UTC

Most of the San Leandro High staff think we aren't responsible or mature enough for an off-campus lunch. That it may lead to chaos in restaurants, students not returning, or just not being safe in general. What staff needs to do is make an effective way for students to go off-campus for lunch. They should let juniors and seniors permission to leave because most of those students already have jobs. If they are responsible enough to have jobs they should be able to have lunch off-campus. The staff overall should trust the students for them to have a better time at this school.

2026-01-07 19:39:27 UTC

San Leandro high school should be an open campus lunch because students are going to leave anyway, but also it can give students some positive benefits by eating what they want. It can also give them freedom. I think that since the school is worried about our safety, I think it is better for only Juniors and Seniors to be out of campus since they are older. So that the freshmen and sophomores could take some time to be more responsible before they could go off campus. Most students would not eat the lunch in the cafeteria which means they are most likely to sneak off campus to buy something they actually want to eat, which is also another reason why the school should be an open campus. The school should just let students eat what they want to eat so that they can be prepared and ready for their next class instead of feeling all moody. So San Leandro high should have an open campus lunch.

Some people think this is a bad idea but they are misguided because they think students aren't responsible enough to do their own thing, but I think it is all about trust. Instead of thinking about the risks, teachers and staff should think more about trust.

2026-01-07 19:49:33 UTC

San Leandro High should have an open campus lunch because it gives students the freedom to pick what they want to eat. Some school staff might disagree and say that it's unsafe for students to go off campus. This claim can be somewhat accurate but students are going to go off campus regardless of what the staff say so they might as well just give the students the freedom to go eat what they like without having to sneak around. It also gives the students a break from being on school campus for 7 hours.

2026-01-07 21:51:30 UTC

San Leandro high school should let kids have off-campus lunch. Because certain kids just dont want to eat school lunch , and if that did happen they would have to let all local food places that they should show their id and depending on the certain amount of people they should make a line. But if they would say no at least let juniors and seniors go out because I would believe that most juniors and seniors have jobs or at least be responsible enough and knowing they'll come back in time. If they don't then its really on them, the teachers wouldn't get affected it'll be them.

"Like Popeyes Chicken Sandwhich" might be some peoples favorite but not everybodys. I believe that San Leandro should have off campus lunch so that those who don't like school lunch can have something of their own to eat. Many kids don't eat at school and it could be for the reason that they don't like what the school has to offer. Off campus allows those to have different choices of what they want. There of course should be limits so that kids don't come later than the time they need to get back.

Students should be able to have an open campus Lunch, but middle schoolers should not. Every highschooler should be able to because in middle school we were not allowed to for 3 years. We have been eating school food since middle school and we are now tired of just eating cafeteria food so we should be able to go out and eat whatever we want because we are in high scchool now and aswell as more responsible too.

2026-01-07 21:52:52 UTC

Many people think having an open campus lunch is not a good idea but their ideas are not right. Students at San Leandro High School may not enjoy eating school lunch and would want something different outside of school to fill them up. There are also downsides to having an open campus lunch but there are way more good things about it. The downsides of having it can be students not returning to class after or leaving school entirely. Many things can happen when many students are outside since it wouldn't be as safe as staying on campus. Students would enjoy an open campus because they can get the food they like from other places and school lunch lines will be shorter for the students who tend to eat school lunch

2026-01-07 21:53:44 UTC

The staff at San Leandro high may be strict on off campus lunch and to be fair we cannot be mad at them because there has been multiple instances where there was something to happen off campus but that was long before most of us got here and now I think they should give it back to us because were more mature and if our parents give us consent then I think we should be able to go off campus and be responsible enough to return and not have anything happen to us off the campus.Another thing is that if a student want a certain food and the school runs out of it then he has nothing else to eat.

While people might think open campus lunch would be a great idea, they don't look at the negatives, only the positives of being able to step foot off campus and be able to enjoy lunch elsewhere. Being able to eat lunch off campus would not allow protection of the students as they are off school property, it may also allow students to get into some sort of violence without adult supervision to interfere. Students are misaligned with the fact that they don't value their security and protection. There are adults in San Leandro High that are there solely to protect the children who learn there, if we were to get off school property, there is no telling what could be done out there.

2026-01-07 21:55:17 UTC

I believe San Leandro High School should have an off campus lunch. Some might consider off campus lunch as a distraction and a way to cause greater issues. I strongly disagree. In fact, I believe it would be better for all the students because they will get to go somewhere other than a campus that is crowded in every hall. Not only that, students will get to eat whatever they want and get to enjoy the moment. Yes something could go wrong. But what are the chances of that happening? If anything happens, security and staff can be on the lookout and make sure to have a good consequence for students actions.

2026-01-07 21:57:48 UTC

San Leandro High staff say that we are to mature or irresponsible to be off campus for lunch. But this leads to kids leaving camps to out to eat and not coming back.

2026-01-07 21:58:41 UTC

San Leandro High School should allow an open-campus lunch because it gives students the freedom to choose what they want to eat. Some staff members may argue that letting students leave campus is unsafe, and while this concern is understandable, many students already go off campus during lunch regardless of the rules. Instead of forcing students to sneak around, the school should trust them with the responsibility to leave and return safely. An open campus would also give students a much-needed break from being on school grounds for seven hours straight, which could help reduce stress and improve their overall school experience.

A reason that teachers and administrators may not want SLHS students to have an open lunch is that students could show up late to the period after lunch, but this argument is invalid because Palma Plaza is directly in between main campus and FTK. Students already have to walk past the plaza to go to and from both the campuses, so it wouldn't be an issue getting back to class on time with our normal 10 minute passing period. Another reason some people, specifically the old grumpy adults at the school, may not want an open campus lunch is because students might be harder to supervise and control if they are off campus. However, this is also not a strong enough claim because Palma Plaza is in a location where it would be fairly easy to put campus security, since it is in between campuses. Students would also still face the same consequences for being tardy, fighting, or disobeying any school rules when they are off campus or on campus. Once again, the students have to walk between campuses all the time. The only thing that would really change is the money the school would have to spend on school lunch.

2026-01-07 21:59:51 UTC

Some people may think that having an open campus lunch is unsafe and dangerous. Many staff at San Leandro High think that we should keep a closed campus during lunch but they won't think outside of the box of how students would benefit from having an open campus lunch. Having an open campus lunch allows students and staff to be free and they wouldn't have to be trapped on campus during school hours. Many students would enjoy having all the freedom being able to go where they want and get the food that they want.

School Lunch

2026-01-07 22:00:59 UTC

Students at San Leandro High should have off campus lunch so that they are more protected by staff and security other than being outside of the school campus and not being watch and anything could happen and San Leandro security and other people that work here will be responsible for it. Although some people might think open campus is better for us with all the freedom we have to explore without being crowded, but safety comes first if you really think about it, anything can happen when your outside of campus with nobody to watch and help you and if something does happen nobody will be there besides your friends which won't be much help as an adult. So I say on campus is better for our safety, but if we did have valid security all around then open campus lunch would be okay for students.

Adrian Illescas

2026-01-07 22:01:27 UTC

Yes, San Leandro High should have an open campus lunch because some attending students don't enjoy the food. Since the school doesn't serve foods that students can't enjoy, they won't be energized. Students can be responsible to go out of campus and eat what they want and they are young adults that are independent. Some people argue that it would give students more options for food and give a break from the school environment. Others think that an open campus lunch would encourage students to explore the local community, vandalize, or even start fights. It could be true that students would have the chance to mess with the outside environment, however an open campus lunch would give students a chance to socialize and interact with their peers outside the classroom.

Allowing an open campus lunch at San Leandro High School sounds appealing, but it could lead to problems. Students might be at risk of accidents or unsafe areas, and more could skip class or return late. Those unable to leave due to financial or transportation issues might feel excluded. Without supervision, students could make poor choices and lose focus. In the end, an open campus lunch could cause more harm than benefit.

San Leandro High School should have open campus lunch, they should be able to be take their break where to choose to. Staff/ adults may think and or argue that students won't get back on time or might ditch which most likely would be the case with some students however there are many students who are responsible enough to come back on time and also stay safe not causing any trouble. If for instance a student keeps coming back late or skips they should have at least 2 warnings before there no longer allowed to have off campus lunch until further notice, keeping it fair to many students and proving to staff that many students are responsible enough.

San Leandro high school a well being school with no off campus lunch, some may believe that is great but with so many students on campus how. Hall's are packed every line to get lunch is way to long as we waste lunch more than we should as lunch is the most important and beneficial part of a break for students and teachers. With so much going on most students spend to much time in line or simply don't eat and that is a concern on school's, as well as lunch being less nutritive and less full-filing. That takes me to a off campus lunch where school feels good to be around with no packed hallway's for students that enjoy to stay walk around, and as for a much nicer way of going to the cafeteria and getting lunch right away, as lunch lady's won't have to give lunch to a thousand of student's. Going off campus feels great you get that stress and feel relieved for going for a better meal after many classes and you have more options of meals, that way students may return to class actually in a better mood and fulfilled ready to be in class and learn. The no off campus thing takes students to skip class not try to learn or attend for the reason they feel stressed of the same thing every day as for hallway's packed and same food every day, students decide to go out anyways and it does help them and they return even better. But student's not attending classes is a concern as many students don't attend. That takes me to my reasoning that off campus lunch benefits everyone and makes students remove the stress and enjoy some food they love to feel better to learn.

2026-01-07 22:04:08 UTC

Some people say San Leandro High School should not have open campus lunch because it could be unsafe, students might come back late or skip class, and not all students can afford to eat off campus. However, these problems can be solved by rules. Only responsible students who stay on campus, and there can be consequences for coming back late. Students who eats at school can still eat on campus so everyone has a choice. Open campus lunch can help students develop sense of responsibility's

Rae

2026-01-07 22:05:06 UTC

Lots of schools including SLHS do not allow off-campus lunch, and there are many valid reasons why. Students may not return to class when lunch ends, students can be put in harm while roaming the streets, altercations could break out, etc. These things are 100% possible, however, students at SLHS should be granted off-campus lunch. Of course staff care about students' safety, but it definitely isn't the only concern. If anything happens to students during school hours, the school will be held responsible. The district should not let that concern enable students from having a small bit of freedom, such as off-campus lunch. Students of all grades 9-12, especially juniors and seniors, are almost grown, and the school should trust students to responsibly handle whatever business they need to take care of off of the campus. I think a majority of the students here have proven that level of responsibility by showing up and being on time everyday.

Counter Argument

2026-01-07 22:05:31 UTC

While some idiotic half-witted babbling morons say that open campus lunch would be better and more freeing for students, I retort with saying that this is a DUMB and STUPID argument because of how dangerous and counterintuitive it would be, leaving students to wander around on their own. I say this because while it would be much for freeing for students to be able to exit the campus premises and enter other places like the plaza, it would not work out with how unsafe it is to just leave students out of school security supervision. This leaves them vulnerable to kidnappings, robberies, and other dangerous acts that could potentially harm unsuspecting students. And while there MIGHT be some adults near the places like the plaza, we can't know for certain that some adults are keen or empathetic enough to watch out for students.

venus

2026-01-07 22:06:21 UTC

The majority of teachers, security and admin argue that the students attending San Leandro High should not be granted open campus lunch. They often think it can cause students to be late to their next class. A contradiction to this popular belief is that there are 10 minute long passing periods; places that sell food are less than a 5 minute walk. Additionally, almost every student starts to walk to their classes as soon as the first bell which would likely mean they would not be late to class. Either way, there will always be students who refuse to follow rules. There will be students who will find a way to get off of the campus during lunch, with or without permission.

Lexi Booger

2026-01-07 22:06:47 UTC

It'd solve the issue with long lines in those school lunch areas as students would have more opportunities for food, creating less work for the lunch ladies and giving more students freedom. It'd ALSO teach students responsibility with their time. Now, some close-minded hypocritical staff who pick their boogers everyday in our school may not agree to this since it may bring more casualties than benefits, but aren't these students already young adults? They'd already know the consequences of what they're doing since the school would announce the rules of off-campus in a way and this idea can help them adjust to the real world if some workplaces allow their workers to let them go out of the building during lunch. So, in a way, Off-campus lunch can serve as some sort of training in the future.

Counter argument

2026-01-07 22:07:01 UTC

San Leandro Highschool benefits from an open campus lunch despite if others believe it's not. Staff members may believe it's a bad idea because it's "unsafe" But the Palma Plaza is in-between both campuses, and there's always staff members in the intersections to cross from campus to campus. Giving the students the opportunity to get the food they want from the jump stops them from having the need to cut class to get something they actually enjoy and not the slop that's served here. Open campus gives the students the freedom to eat what they want and still be safe and come to class on time.

2026-01-07 22:08:17 UTC

Many argue open campus lunch can positively affect all students but there are more negatives to it. Having an open campus lunch would cause more traffic at the sidewalks. Students already struggle to get to class on time because of the amount of congestion there is on the sidewalks when walking from main to FTK. If San Leandro High School allowed off campus lunch, there would be significantly more people and it would cause danger for both students and cars. Additionally, even with proper supervision, students still struggle to get to class on time after lunch and an open campus would increase the amount of students that are tardy.

Open campus lunch helps students develop real-world responsibility and autonomy, which better prepares them for college and adulthood. Allowing students to leave campus during lunch requires them to manage their time, make safe choices, and return to class on time—skills they’ll be expected to use after high school. When students are trusted with this responsibility, they often take school rules more seriously and feel more respected by the administration.

In addition, open campus lunch gives students access to food options that better meet their dietary, cultural, and personal needs, which can improve nutrition and mental health. Students who feel satisfied and trusted are more focused, less stressed, and more engaged in class afterward. Overall, open campus lunch treats students like young adults while supporting their academic success.

2026-01-07 22:34:35 UTC

Students at San Leandro High should be able to have off campus lunch. Although some staff may disagree due to their concern about students safety. They're are somewhat right. Many students still don't follow the rules though, so why not just let them, instead of them having to sneak around. If we are so concerned about their safety, why do they make us walk to another campus? Wouldn't that also be considered not safe? Not only that but in my opinion I think we are considered mature enough to be able to make smart choices.

2026-01-08 17:16:45 UTC

I believe that having an off campus lunch would be more ideal compared to a closed campus lunch. With a closed campus lunch, children would be more secure and there would not be extra security looking for students out of class, but I believe that students should have the right to roam freely wherever they want for the length of lunch. It would reduce crowding and lunch lines would be shorter. Students can also spend money on food they can get near the school.

Fidel

2026-01-08 17:17:18 UTC

Although an open campus lunch might compromise student safety, it can also simultaneously improve staff security in both campuses, ensuring better safety. Students should have the freedom of an open campus lunch, seeing how many kids come back to either campus in a dutiful manner.

Students at San Leandro High School should have an open campus lunch. They believe keeping students students on campus is easier to control. However, high school students are old enough to the be responsible for their time and actions. With clear rules and consequences, open campus lunch can be managed safely. Allowing students to leave campus help them learning responsibility and prepares them for life after high school.

Matthew

2026-01-08 17:19:02 UTC

Some people argue that San Leandro High School should not have an open campus lunch because it could put students’ safety at risk. They believe that allowing students to leave campus during lunch increases the chances of accidents, truancy, or students getting into trouble off campus. Administrators and parents worry that students may not return on time, could encounter unsafe situations in the surrounding area, or make poor choices that negatively affect their academic focus. From this perspective, a closed campus is seen as a way to keep students supervised and protected throughout the school day.

2026-01-08 17:20:18 UTC

personally I think we should have off campus lunch because we should be able to have the option to were all 14 or 15 and all the way to 18 they need to trust our maturity. I get not everybody is mature but I feel like if you give them off campus lunch they wouldn't take it for granted. we should also have off campus lunch because not everybody at the school gets to eat for etc the wings at our some people don't always get any, some students stay in classes halve of the lunch to finish test or finish work and we they finish they come to get food and sometimes is nothing for them eat. Plus not everybody likes what the school makes some people just get food for a item apart of the lunch, plus sometimes people still be hungry because we can only eat once so if we have off campus lunch people wouldn't have to worry about only eating once or still being hungry

Travis

travisl97593 — 2026-01-08 17:21:55 UTC

I believe that there shouldn't be off campus lunch due to some issues that could occur. First off, there may be many people wanting to get lunch off campus and by the time lunch ends, there might still be a lot of people and may cause people to be late to their classes because of huge crowds. Then, there are people who don't like the school's food and decide to sneak off to the plaza to get food which I understand. In my opinion, a better option is to bring your own lunch from home. Lastly, the safety of the students is the staff's biggest priority. They want to ensure a safe environment and keep the students safe. Anything could happen if students wander off and they don't come back for any reason.

2026-01-08 17:22:37 UTC

SLHS shouldn't have an open school lunch cause it is dangerous and even with staff supervising them, it's just Too many students in different and while maybe students will be happy to leave campus for Starbucks or Popeyes The lines will get way too long and students will have to walk back to campus on an empty stomach waiting the whole lunch for food they'll never even get.

2026-01-08 17:22:38 UTC

Students should have a open campus lunch because it give people who want to the option to get they're own food from Palma plaza. I think that students should be at least allowed to get food from the plaza because if the staff trust us to walk to FTK than students should be allowed to go to the plaza at lunch.

Vivian

2026-01-08 17:22:53 UTC

Having an off campus lunch might not be the safest option but it is the better option for the students at San Leandro High. First, school lunches aren't always great so students would be able to go and get whatever food they feel like eating. The lunch lines at school get very busy very quickly, and if you take too long they run out of food. Finally sometimes kids just need a break from being inside school all day, so giving them some freedom would benefit them.

2026-01-08 17:23:10 UTC

Students at San Leandro should be allowed to have a open campus for lunch. Even though some argue that its unsafe and its better to keep everyone on campus, its really not. There's a lot of students at San Leandro high and it gets packed. Theres more freedom lettering students leave for lunch. Students should be trusted to have an off campus lunch.

2026-01-08 17:23:31 UTC

Even if an open campus lunch would allow students to have more options for lunch and allow security to apparently have a break, there are consequences that would happen. The amount of students who wouldn't be on campus and spread out for lunch would increase the amount and chances of something terrible to happen. The amount of staff and adults that can actually supervise would not be enough. Continuing on that adds more work for security instead of having a break.

2026-01-08 17:24:24 UTC

some people believe off campus lunch is dangerous and more difficult to control students when off campus. But students at San Leandro high school should have off campus lunch. the campus is way to busy without off campus lunch. it may help control the students but not everyone gets food. the lunch lines are too long. students want to be free. they don't wanna be on campus all the time. they don't want to spend most of the lunch waiting to get food because the lines are long. off campus lunch allows students to have more options of what they wanna eat

2026-01-08 17:25:27 UTC

the lines would get super big if there is a off campus lunch and that's the only thing i think can make students late from a lunch like that

jadenm106549 — 2026-01-08 17:26:18 UTC

A reason why old grumpy people in the school administration would not want to allow off campus lunch is because it would cause students to be tardy or possibly skip classes. However this argument is completely meaningless because the Palma plaza is directly in between both the main and FTK campuses, causing students to be able to get food and be on time for classes. Another meaningless reason why administration would not allow off campus lunch is because it would be difficult to supervise students because of some conflicts that can exist between students and being off campus may cause those tensions to possibly rise, but this is just completely MEANINGLESS, all administration would need to do is place campus security in the Palma plaza to help supervise students so that nothing breaks out between students and they can catch students attempting to skip classes.

Counter Argument

2026-01-08 17:26:22 UTC

Many staff say that kids eating off campus is "unsafe" or students might skip class. But they don't see how helpful it can be since not only will it benefit the Palma plaza but it will also benefit the school because kids if not most, basically force themselves to eat the school lunch food because it not appetizing and they got nothing else to eat and some students just simply throw their food away so if students are able to to eat off campus, the school wont have to be wasting all the food that the students decide not to eat and to just throw away so it will benefit both places.

Oliver Melendrez

2026-01-08 17:28:13 UTC

The Administration at San Leandro High argues that an open campus lunch would be detrimental to a student's safety. The reality is that these minute concerns are completely invalid and hold no true merit, as High School students aren't little children; they understand their responsibilities and know better than to put themselves in danger.

n

2026-01-08 17:28:59 UTC

While many faculty members are against off campus lunch for safety and students getting to class on time, there are rules that could be placed. Such as more security from main campus to the plaza and 3 strikes for if you get into trouble then you would not be able to go off campus. Additionally the lines at school get very long and some students have to wait the whole lunch just for it to be sold out when they get to the front of the line and they would have to starve. Also the campus would be cleaner without as much trash from lunch. Off campus lunch would allow students to have more freedom on their options and teach them responsibility.

Off campus lunch

2026-01-08 17:29:00 UTC

Students should be able to go off campus during lunch because at lunch time on campus the cafeteria can get very crowded and people cut others just to get something to eat. Students know the trouble they could possibly get in for sneaking off campus to get some lunch because they may not like the lunch that the school is giving that day and they want something that they can actually enjoy. I think it would give staff less stress with the crowded cafeteria that goes all the way out the door or through the hallway, or the keeping up with handing out tickets to 30+ students. I think a big amount of students are capable of going back to class after getting lunch off campus because they are mature and know better.

2026-01-08 17:29:02 UTC

many believe that having an open campus is dangerous for teens that attend San leandro high and bla bla bla, but what they don't think is that having an open campus can make teens develop a real world responsibility, that can help them in the future, there might be a group of students that cannot follow the rules, but most students are mature and know how to behave.

counter argument

esperanzas113767 — 2026-01-08 17:29:13 UTC

Although many people are against the idea of an open campus during lunch for many reasonable things I suppose such as kids not coming back to school, being late to class and also bringing food into class which could be distracting. Overall they are just not being supervised and could be doing whatever. However if San Leandro High sets rules such as making sure to be on class on time and so on these minor issues could easily be solved after all they are high school students who just want to go out and get lunch. They should know what the rules are and allowing them to go out during lunch will help them become more responsible.

2026-01-08 17:31:33 UTC

Whether administration prohibits students to go to the plaza or have an open lunch in general, students still find a way to go out. Having an open campus for lunch would just benefit those who don't want to wait in those long lines just for the food to either be cold or not good. The effort staff is putting so students can eat healthy only makes students now want to eat the school lunch, as high schoolers we want more than that. However, letting students go out, teaches them how to be responsible for their actions.

2026-01-08 17:31:58 UTC

While lots of staff and adults think that having an open campus lunch. In San Leandro high school is a bad idea. While their somewhat right that it might cause minor issues. With students getting distracted and come back not focus in school. Lots of teachers still talk about how students come back not focus from not an open campus. With an open campus it could gives students freedoms that they could enjoy. It could also make the campus less crowded. Students will also have options of what they wanna eat not only what they give in school lunch. Students are capable to go off campus and come on time.

2026-01-08 17:32:55 UTC

some people may think an open campus lunch can be a little too trusting but i think that same lack of trust can be reflected because like myself and many others, cannot openly trust the food that is served in the cafeteria, especially when the smell, taste, and presentation isn't very appetizing.

These same people think it's too dangerous to keep an open campus lunch but i think it only becomes dangerous when people are mad they cant leave and still try to leave anyway.

Lily

2026-01-08 17:47:15 UTC

a lot of people are against the fact of having an open lunch during school but I say we should because it helps students learn responsibility and manage their times better if they choose too. Kids know better then leaving school and taking away the schools trust, it also means the school would be less crowded and the lunch ladies wouldn't have to stress out as much and there's also better food options. A lot of kids also dislike school lunches and I understand there's some that can be good but most are bland and don't taste nor look the best and I understand why kids wouldn't want to have that they would rather much have a Starbucks or a popeyes chicken sandwhich

Tre' Harris

2026-01-08 19:26:30 UTC

Teachers and principals hate to see kids happy don't allow off campus lunch is because it could lead to trouble off the campus. Like their may be a fight, stealing, or other troubling situations. In order to prevent this we could have security in the plaza and increase lunch times. This makes so that people are cautious before trouble making and students have more time to get back to campus on time.

2026-01-08 19:26:30 UTC

Many of the older generation that came before us have a strict view on rules like not having an open campus lunch because of it's dangers. While I agree that it may be dangerous for students to roam off the campus, many students may not enjoy what they serve in the cafeteria. The school may advertise their meals as fresh and made every day, but many students have been claiming that their "fresh" fruit has many bugs, and sometimes damaged and molded over. They can say the same for the quality of their meals like if it's cold, soggy, and has an odd smell that can throw a consumer off course from eating the said meal. But with an open campus lunch, students are guaranteed freshly made meals from nearby restaurants, because it is required. From this certainty that they'll receive freshly made food, the restaurants attract more buyers because their meals are top quality. Not only that, they have a variety of meals they can pick and purchase, knowing that they don't have to settle with less.

2026-01-08 19:27:49 UTC

Even though being able to come out of school to get lunch would be a good option for students to have a wider variety of options, and students could learn how to manage their time to come back to class on time would help on their future. On the other hand, if students don't know how to behave, locals can have the option to deny students service during certain times of the day. This since kids can be hard to deal with and because of their impulsive nature, students could cause some felony while out of school, either on accident, for a joke or on purpose.

2026-01-08 19:28:34 UTC

While keeping students on campus has some benefits such as the students being easier to control, San Leandro High School students should be recognized and treated like responsible individuals who should be trusted by the owls who watch this campus. Responsible students at our school should know how much time they have to get what they need, and to come back to campus. If students decide to leave school and not come back, they need to take full responsibility for their work and actions while not punishing other SLHS students for being responsible scholars.

2026-01-08 19:28:44 UTC

It makes no sense for San Leandro high not to have open campus lunch because theres two campuses and a plaza right in between I don't know how they built a second campus that's farther than the plaza and expect teenage kids not to buy food from the plaza during lunch.

off campus lunch

2026-01-08 19:28:56 UTC

Students should be allowed to eat off campus for lunch because school lunch lines are too long causing people to cut in line. Students know the consequences of sneaking and skipping classes but there should be some rules. Staff and teachers believe that students will skip and not go to class after and may think off campus lunch is dangerous but if securities are in the plaza could help and make it more safe. The campus will be less crowded and don't have to prepare so many meals but only a good amount for students who want to eat the school lunch. Causing saving paper for plates and such but overall keeping the campus clean while giving students the options to eat whatever they want.

They argue that leeting students leave campus makes it harder to keep track of everyone and could lead to students skipping class or coming back late. Others also believe that not all students can afford food off campus, which could create unfair situations.

Refutation:

While safety and fairness are important concerns, an open campus lunch can still work with clear rules in place. Students could sign out and be required to return on time, which would help with the attendance. Many nearby food places are within walking distance, and students can choose whether to leave or stay on campus. An open campus would give students more responsibility and independence, which helps prepare them for college and adult life. With proper guidelines, off campus lunch would benefit students while still keeping the school organized and safe.

some people may think open lunch isn't a good idea because of the society we live in plus the irresponsible kids. however I think open lunch would be good for the kids that have great behavioral and good grades. Having a system where it is a privilege to go out at lunch would motivate kids to do better in school and it would help admin out. longer lunches, freedom within the plaza, and even the hanging out outside the gates will all make students want to do better.

While other people argue that an open campus lunch would be better for students that don't wanna eat the school lunch, I believe that we shouldn't have one because first off, there are other people who aren't from this school or getting a lunch break from work coming to Palma plaza to get lunch, but with the overwhelming amount of students flooding the plaza they might not feel comfortable going there to grab lunch anymore. Another reason why I don't think it's a good idea is because if an open campus lunch were to happen, the lines in the restaurants would get extremely big, resulting in some students not being able to eat or not having enough to eat. Some people would argue that students can just go back to class to eat, but many teachers don't allow food in their classroom resulting in wasted food and money.

Reasons that administration wouldn't want open campus lunch could be due to the fact that some students may use it as an opportunity to skip class, cause trouble, and some may even take it as an advantage to go home. Their concerns are reasonable, however open campus lunches can give students the opportunity to get lunch sooner and explore more food options(since most of the lines are long and some tend to wait in the line until the bell rings.) Not only that but not all students would use off campus lunch as an excuse to do bad things, some students are responsible enough to come back and return to school in time for class and it would be bad to take that opportunity away from them because of student who have bad intentions.

while some people may think an open campus would be good it would not. Students are not responsible, they get into fights and skip class. However, if we stay in school during lunch it would include a lot more safety, would allow students to have free lunch and can even work inside of the classes.

Some people argue that San Leandro High School should have an open campus lunch because it gives students more freedom and access to better food options. However, allowing students to leave campus increases students safety risks and sometimes leads to students coming too late or skipping class. Because of this, open campus lunch would cause more problems than benefits.

A majority of teachers and admins claim that students should not be allowed to have lunch off campus. They believe it causes tardies, students cutting class, and trouble off campus. However, the common places students eat at are less than a 5 minute walk from the campuses and are usually occupied with security watching. If students are able to eat food they enjoy, they are more likely to focus and perform better in school instead of going hungry. Even if rules are implemented against off campus lunch, students will still find ways to skip class and leave campus.

I think we can all agree and understand the limited palate of out school lunch, its sub par taste, and long lines can start to become repetitive and repulsive for some over time. But I also believe many people simply don't understand we don't come to school to eat, we come to learn. Offering open campus lunch to students at San Leandro high is comparable to a opening a door in front of dog that loves to run. Even an argument in favor of trusting the students to leave holds no value unless all students hold themselves to it. If teachers are unable to trust students enough to stay in class or even attend a full period why should they trust them to leave and come back in a timely manor. And even if San Leandro high somehow decided it would be a good idea more problems arise. How are students suppose to leave school, get food, eat the food, park their car (if they have to), and get to class on time, in only 35 minutes. It's very clear to me most people don't take time to think about how this would really work and only go as far as thinking "I want to leave San Leandro high school for lunch because its boring".

Some teachers and staff members don't trust that we are responsible enough to be able to get lunch off campus and return in time for class. However, the plaza is the same distance from the main campus as FTK is from the main campus and students constantly have to walk back and forth anyways throughout the day. We are responsible enough to walk from one campus to another so we should be trusted to be able to eat between the campuses for lunch.

Opposing staff and parents don't want off campus lunches, because of the risk of tardiness, safety concerns, and the drop of attendance rate. This thinking makes students angry and is absolutely meaningless. School lunches provided by the school are sometimes good, or meet the student's demands. Having an off campus lunch would help students have a more diverse palate and would enjoy their food. School food is very debatable on quality and can be soggy and not cooked correctly. Additionally, staff get worried and don't want to face liability issues with off campus lunches and attendance issues. However, off campus lunch is very close to both campuses and poses no risk of accidents and supervision. The off campus lunches are so close by, that it doesn't negatively affect anything. It also makes lunch lines not as long as school, making people have enough time to eat their food. The off campus lunches also would support local restaurants and improve their quality. This would help create a positive community, making students enjoy high quality food, improving student life.

SLHS should let students have off campus lunch because it allows students take a break from campus and come back. And some students don't like the school food so they would be able to get something else by having off campus lunch .

I think that San Leandro High School should have an open campus lunch because there's many people that are from different places they may not like the food and there's people that try by first time the food and if they didn't like it they throw it to the trash and waste food I think they should let people go out of campus so they know their responsabilities and I think school should parents know that and said that that is student's responsibility if something happens school should not be responsible is they're own choice to go or not and if parent don't want them to go out of campus tell their kids but that will be no responsibility of school but the way people don't have to be hungry and be motivated to learn because they eat lunch what they want so they can concentrate more
