silent lunches were so….weird. like the entire cafeteria was expected to be quiet and it usually was a punishment for something super dumb tbh like i remember a bunch of kids popped plastic bags one day so we got silent lunch for a week and everyone was just….sitting there all quiet. it was duuuumb
the only funny part tho was sitting around ur friends and all of u trying VERY VERY HARD not to laugh when someone makes a face or something like that, or trying to sneak into the bathroom so u can talk…even then tho fuck silent lunches
ppl keep going “what the FUCK is a silent lunch why would schools have that” and im like. genuinely so forgetful abt the fact that silent lunches are one of those american public school things that literally dont make any sense
This happened sometimes in elementary school and it was the actual shittiest thing. It makes absolutely no sense and basically prevents you from actually taking your needed break in the middle of the school day bc silent lunches are so oppressively gloomy that you spend the whole thing on edge and get back to class not recovered or ready to learn at all. Btw, this was a public school in California.
