EXCLUSIVE: N.J. Students Forced To Eat On Floor

Parents Horrified, Superintendent Offers Odd Explanation

MAHWAH, N.J. (CBS) ― Bergen County parents are floored by a new school lunch policy. Their children were forced to eat their lunch on the floor.

Mahwah School Superintendent Charles Montesano won't let CBS 2 HD in his high school, specifically anywhere near the floors inside. Yet, that's exactly where students have been eating their lunch.

That's right. Nearly 1,000 students attend classes at Mahwah High School daily, and at lunchtime, a good majority of them are on the floor, as seen in pictures obtained exclusively by CBS 2 HD.

The cafeteria holds around 300, some outside picnic tables are provided, and seniors can leave for lunch. But parents and some students were quick to speak out to school leadership against hundreds left to floor dining -- and got nowhere.

I can't believe this got past an Editor.

The cheese-factor is enough to make one ill.
 
They could do these marvelous steps...

1. Go back to three lunches rather than one for all 1000 students.
2. Instead of making people eat while sitting on the floor so you can have more time in the classroom, well extend the day a bit...
or
3. Add more tables even temp ones in the gymnasium during lunch time could alleviate some of this mess.
 
Heck when I was a kid we ate lunch outside on the dirt if the weather permitted.
One room schoolhouse with no running water or kitchen facilities...

Darn kids have it rough now-a-days.

The only candy available was chewing tobacco, they all had a healthy brown glow to their teeth.

One of the official food groups was wax, which held a bit of sugar water, that was what they packed for lunch which they carried in little pails rather than boxes or paper sacks.

Once a dinosaur chased him to school.... On that day he was wearing an onion on his belt, because that was just the 'bees knees' and '23 skidoo!" was barely coming into fashion as a saying that meant absolutely nothing.

Once he saw a car....
 
Darn! do you guys go to the same school as I did ?
:D

Silly though it can only be uphill one way.
the rest sounds pretty close.
