No thread is complete without a random, unsubstantiated, and unrelated slut shaming, so thank you, Shodan.
We were allowed to leave school during lunch in the 70’s. That way we could smoke. After drinking and accidents, the parking lot became off limits by the early 80’s. Small rural high school. My kids now in a medium sized more suburban school? Just asked and seniors got open campus for lunch. The rest have to stay in school.
My high school didn’t “allow” us to leave for lunch - but since we were on split sessions, a senior who only needed to take a few classes could be done for the day before noon. Which of course meant that anyone could leave that early as there were too many students to check programs on the way out. We could not, however, get back in.
Actually, many high school campuses are “closed” for lunch. The one I taught at was.
We used to get several students who would skip and then head to eating or retail establishments near the school. They don’t really care too much about being “caught.”
Given the lack of topic for debate and lack of response/participation from the OP, I’m closing this pending hearing clarification of what the actual debate would be. I considered moving it to IMHO which I think is the closest forum it would belong to, but am holding out in equal parts that it can be fleshed out for debate, and to not inflict on the mods of that forum.
JBGUSA - feel free to PM me to flesh out debate and I will consider reopening.
