No lunch scheduled in school on Thursdays and Fridays:
Isn't this unhealthy for kids?
Posted on 07 Jan 2013
Lunchtime is not scheduled in the timetable for students of Mee Toh School on Thursdays and Fridays as school ends early. However, it would be too late to have
lunch by the time students reach home, worries STOMPer Parent. Said the STOMPer: "My kid studies in a popular school in Punggol (Mee Toh School) and just
received the timetable on Friday. "It is amazing to note that staggered lunch time of 30 minutes is scheduled from 12pm to 1pm on every Monday to Wednesday,
but not on Thursdays and Fridays. "What is the issue of not letting children have the same lunch timing everyday? "On Thursdays and Fridays, those who stay
near the school will reach home after 2pm, those taking school buses will reach home at 3pm, and only then do they have the chance to take their lunch.
"Since the Principal and Vice Principal came out with such a schedule, can they follow the children and continuously take their lunch at 12pm on every Monday to
Wednesday, 3pm on every Thursday and Friday, and tell all parents how they feel? "Health Promotion Board (HPB) has been working very hard on promoting
healthy lifestyles for children. "Isn’t this a matter of healthy lifestyles? "Can MOE and HPB work together and come out a programme for children to have proper lunch schedules?"
