@one1ofeach I said schools with seated dinners must be slower-paced because you need everyone to have at least an hour (for lunch) or 90 minutes+ (for dinner, assuming they expect the kids to shower and dress up for it) available at the same time for the meal. Which just does not happen at our school, lunch periods are all over the place depending on which classes you are taking. Dinner Friday would be the only sort of doable time but there are usually some games on Fridays and otherwise it is the ‘hang out, chill and have fun’ night and I can’t imagine anyone would want to give that up.
