As a freshman student, that has been going to this school for seven weeks, I find Leadership Public Schools -- College Park to be somewhat boring; specifically due to mandatory on-campus lunch each day, which feels monotonous with regards to scenery and experience.
Off-campus lunches would be a breath of fresh air -- a time to recharge and to refocus. It will give some students time to clear their heads. It would also be a good idea, because people could go buy their own lunches and choose what they want. Students benefit from choices -- all human beings do! I also believe students would be more likely to eat a healthy amount if they could choose their food -- then they would have the much needed energy to do well in their afternoon academics. All to often, students don't eat their lunches and then crash in their afternoon classes.
Trust the students more, give us freedom of choice. We will make the right choice and our grades will reflect it. I know you keep us on campus for our own safety and I am both thankful and appreciative that you care so much about us, but we just want the opportunity to prove to you that we are trustworthy.
Please give us a chance for a breath of fresh air -- an off-campus lunch -- and I bet our grades will be better for it.

What suggestions do you have for the administration for curbing absences after lunch? One of the problems of off campus lunch is the increase in student ditching.
I believe if specific students ditch they should lose the privaledge of off campus lunches. I agree that it is important for students to be in class, but I disagree with you that we should punish all of the student body for the individual students that cut. I am not one of them and neither are my friends. Off-campus lunch should be a privilege to those who perform well in their classes and have demonstrated that they are responsible young adults.
i bealive with jasmine completely with jasmine students should be able to refresh their minds and get away from the working atmosphere
I do believe that we should have open campus, but loads of people will cut after lunch. to be hones I'm not one one them, but I do now loads of people that will do.
