No talking during lunch. This was in a public elementary school in the early/mid 90s, at the first school I attended through second grade. Literally the only school I attended that was like that. It was so fucking stupid.
Of course, kids tried to talk to their friends, whispering and such. I got in trouble once because a teacher saw me whisper to my friend who asked me a question and so I got moved to sitting with older kids I didn't know for the rest of the lunch period. That was the first time I got in trouble at school, so I was crying.
Never understood why we couldn't talk. I think because it'd eventually get too loud in there? Which, who cares? Didn't matter; family moved and I switched schools. Where it was totally normal and acceptable to socialize during lunch.
HOLY SHIT! Mine had the same stupid-ass rule! It was the mid 2000s for me, and I managed to get myself in trouble ONCE. The yard duties told me that I had to spend the rest of my lunch in the multipurpose room instead of getting to leave for recess. And you know what I did? I sure as hell didn't stay. I snuck out as discretely as I could because even at my small age, I knew that rule was bullshit. Never got caught, but I'm still salty that I even got in trouble in the first place. Thanks for reading.
Did you live in the South per chance? My school had the same policy in Louisiana.
Nope, this was in the Midwest! Missouri, to be somewhat more specific. I do know our principal (who I didn't mind) was often in the lunchroom. Maybe she was from the south? No clue.
