Hi locamama78 - I've tried calling you a few times and it just gives a recording stating you are unavailable and to try back - no option to leave a message - Maybe if you could list some things that they could use and everyone's sizes we can get some donations together - So sorry for your loss - How heartbreaking. You and your family are in our hearts and prayers.

Wow JVLTRNSPLNT - You REALLY don't know me at all, and you are very judgemental. I do happen to know first hand what this is like. I do visit my son on his lunch. I am very involved with the school, I attend functions, I am part of the PTA, and I bet most teachers there know me on a first hand basis, and even better - they probably actually like me. I work well with the teachers there, get feedback from the teachers, and the teachers feel comfortable enough with me to call ME if I am able to be of assistance to them. Yes, I am involved and I am not a "tattler" as you wrote. I am one that tries to help the school and let them know that I am there to help when I can. I am trying to make a good experience for my son and daughter in every way. Why don't you worry about the people that are NOT trying to be involved in making it a better place for their children. That would be a better place to start.

I have emailed the superintendent, Tom Evert and encourage you all to do the same on this issue: tevert@janesville.k12.wi.us. Great job Adams school - lets see if we can get the others on the band wagon. Socializing at lunchtime should not be banned.

I would also like to see the study done in the elementary schools - great idea Athena. Are all the elemenatary schools in Janesville under such short time frames for lunch? I also agree with you Athena - my son comes home full of anxiety too from the atmosphere in the lunch room - I am curious which school this is. If you want, you can email me at lkrule@sbcglobal.net.

I have a child at an elementary school in Janesville. They have 15 minutes to eat and then 15 minutes for recess after that. The 15 minutes to eat is not long enough. I believe they should be able to socialize and eat during this period. My son's school does not allow them to talk during lunch. All the lights are turned off if they do. They miss their recess if they talk. Kids need the time to socialize and eat. If the reason for the school not letting them socialize is because they need the time to eat, well, I am sure if a child doesn't eat enough one or two days they will start to eat more the next time. Let the kids socialize and get it out of their system during lunch and recess.

I knew Jason in high school and he was always a great person. Very kind, warm hearted, very energetic. If you knew him you couldn't help but like him. I was very sorry to hear of this tragedy. My sympathy's to the entire family.

I absolutely agree that their schould be background checks for ANYONE that goes into the schools. Beloit does background checks on chaperones for field trips - we need to do the same thing here - great idea!
