Here's another point of view:
One of our local school's has the 1st 15min of a 30min lunch silent. It gives the children a chance to eat. It works for their school.

We've had it in our school as a punishment. If the lunch is out of control one day, and too wild or loud, the next day they will have a silent lunch. I don't like the idea AT ALL! The biggest reason I don't like it is because it's not even the schools administration who decides on this. The power hungry lunch monitors are the people who decide. They have no power or authority yet they get to discipline an entire cafeteria of students.

Lunch is when the students get to see their friends and talk and try to have a little bit of fun during the day, they sit silently in class all day, they need to release some of their energy. I think the silent lunch idea is a horrible idea!!

I was just informed about the no talking during lunch.I am opting my kids out of this practice unless they are directly involved in some type of infraction. Kids sitting for 45 minuts looking at each other is insane.
