Topic > Changes to School Lunch at South Western High School

A student sits in class waiting for the glorious moment: the moment the lunch bell rings. The students' stomachs growl and groan as they wait in agony. The young man rushes to the canteen to enjoy a delicious meal. He would find himself disappointed with the food and other factors that add to our lunchtime experience. Our school needs to create a more enjoyable lunch period for students. To improve lunchtime for students at South Western Senior High School, our school should improve food quality, gain new ideas about payments, and adopt new lunch procedures. First of all, the biggest problem in our school when it comes to lunch is the quality and quantity of food we are fed. Have you ever heard of “pink slime”? Pink Slime is an ammonia-treated meat filler that schools in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Virginia, and Texas serve to their students. Our school is likely to need this slope. Often the food is burned making it much less appetizing. Not only are we served stuffed meats, tainted meats, or burnt foods, but the portion sizes do not satisfy the appetite of the average student. Most school should not have to pay additional expenses just to be able to purchase extra food to satisfy their appetite. The hardworking students at South Western High School deserve better than low-quality meats and small portions. Secondly, there are many inconveniences living in the payment procedures. Our school does not allow students to "borrow money," which means that a student who does not have 5 cents for lunch cannot receive it. That student instead has to get peanut butter and jelly instead of the day's entree or have a snack. Next, our school should think about creating a way for a student to see their balance in the center of the paper. A program like this is what students want, but having this functionality on a separate website from Sapphire makes checking accounts more of an inconvenience. This program is a site where users must register to view their account balance. Creating an account on this program and having to log in every time you want to check your account is a hassle. This should be a feature on Sapphire so that the already registered student can quickly check their money, where all the information related to the school is located. School lunches at South Western High School aren't as enjoyable as they could be. Our school needs changes to solve problems during lunch break. To improve the lunch experience, South West should serve students more appetizing foods, create different ways to make it easier to pay for food, and increase lunch procedures.
