We didn't have student ID cards either, we just had to remember the ID number.

My high school let us leave for lunch but starting junior year they started requiring lunch pass id cards.

At the beginning of each semester if you wanted to even have a chance of getting one of the passes, you had to show up to school early, wait in some long ass line, then pay some money to get the card. The card also had to be on an "official" lanyard that you also had to pay a buncha money for. Until you got the card you couldn't leave for lunch.

Once they started this crap, I went one day stuck in school for lunch because I didn't wait in line. After school I scanned a friend's ID and made my own in photoshop. I got a 99-cent lanyard at Sports Authority to put it on. Then each semester when they changed up the id's I made a new one.

I also made parking passes for myself in photoshop instead of paying like 50 bucks a semester for one.

Down with the man, man!

 

We only had designated days when the seniors could leave for lunch. And I mean only like 2 days my senior year.

 

We only had it because there were like 1800 kids in the school and the cafeteria had room for maybe 200. h:

 

that's why we eventually had to have split lunches....that really sucked. Instead of the whole school having lunch at the same time, they started having 2 different lunch periods, and then eventually 3. It made school so much worse not being able to hang out with friends at lunch

 

I think we had 3 or 4 lunch periods.

3 lunch periods * space for 200 people in cafeteria = 600 people; 1000 other people needed to eat somewhere, so the solution was to let kids eat anywhere they wanted on campus for lunch, or let em leave if they wanted.

Yeah, it was more like 1600 people than 1800 people. Still too many for the cafeteria.

 

we had 1800 kids, 4 lunch periods and the only way you were allowed to get off campus legally if you had 3 free periods in a row (junior) or two in a row (senior)

really sucked cause we had a runner from nigeria as a security guard so you couldnt walk out and then a cop sitting at both eits to the school looking at you

 

Your school probably had a bigger cafeteria than mine.
