a bite into a wonderfully delicious sandwhich made of high quality bread and good smoked turkey slices. Then imagine biting into a terrible tasting dry sandwich, one that sticks to your throat as you regretfully swallow it. I think everybody can agree that the school food, in most cases, is very bad tasting and can be unhealthy. My response to this problem is open campus lunches.

delaying of school start times. Shirley Weber, a member of the San Diego School Board, found that parents were resisting the delay because they were concerned that their schedules would have to be changed in order to accommodate it (“Waking” 1). Parents of students would have to change their work schedules in order to take their children to school, pick up their children from school, and/or accomodate their children at extracurricular activities.

Product In the essay “America's Most Overrated Product: The Bachelor's Degree,” that originally appears in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Marty Nemko discusses his views on a four-year college education as a career counselor. “Among high-school students who graduated in the bottom 40 percent of their classes, and whose first institutions were four-year colleges, two-thirds had not earned diplomas eight and a half years later” (Nemko 523).
