With the beginning of a new school year, there are some new changes. Unfortunately, the new policy of hot water and microwave usage being no longer available is problematic for students. The new school nurse, Rebecca Barker, notified students that the hot water and microwave in the health office would no longer be available during lunch break. This was probably one of the most heartbreaking news for many students.

It is unreasonable why this new policy was implemented. Many students decide to bring their own food because the school lunch prices are too high. Others simply do not enjoy the food served in the cafeteria. It could also be because many students come from different countries, and part of their culture depends on the food they usually eat. Although some teachers allow students to use their microwave, that does not mean every single student has that luck.

Almost everyone grows up being told to always eat three meals a day, and it is highly important to do so, especially since many students stay for a long period of time after school. Whether it is be catching up with homework or playing sports, it is truly important to get the necessary  amount of nutrients.

“I do not agree with the policy,” Barker said. “I think you kids have to eat well in order for your brains to stay active!”

Although many students are not quite in agreement with the new policy, they respect and understand it, because it was due to a parent complaint.

“If the problem was because people left the place dirty then they should just make them clean after,” senior Miranda Martinez said.

Or logically, a bank of microwaves and a hot water dispenser should be added to the campus. It’s a small gesture that many would appreciate, including teachers.
