Skipping the lunch queue

In my school there are lunchlines like McDonalds. We stand there waiting for ages for food that is sub-standard, high priced and generally yucky.
Never mind that to get there, we have to queue outside in whatever weather, being pushed and herded. Then once we actually get this so called "Food", we have to sit on stupid chairs at stupid tables while ducking and dodging flying food AND cups of drink.
Then there are the teachers. They wander in, skip the queue, never mind that you have been queuing for the last 15 minutes, oh no. The barge in and take their food and walk up the stairs to the staffroom.
There are about 5 queues and 2 dont get used much and one not at all. Why not have a line just for the teachers? "Too much hassle" How???
Not as much a debate but a rant, but I would like you to discuss.
Is it fair that teachers skip the queue

But as for the teachers, I think it's fair. They have a lot to do, papers to mark, lessons to set up and need to eat quickly. Also, they're working hard and you're just getting a free education. It ain't that bad.
Those who hold the power, call the shots.
School dinners have always been bad but you will look back on it with affection one day :yes:
I remember when I was young (lol), I got 25p each day for dinner money and we used to go to the chippy, a bag of chips cost us 10p but you could get half bags for 5p so thats what the majority did. Got sweets and we clubbed together to buy 5 fags.......yes they sold us 5 fags and used to put them in small paper bags.
Gawd them were the days
bet ya had enough change for the bus ride home too
lol, nah i only lived round the corner
They also get paid, they also chose to be a teacher :yeees:
:yes:
They need their grub after dealing with screaming kids all morning.
So you'll just have to deal with it :yes:
there was like a rota so say year11s on monday get to eat lunch first but then on tuesday they can't start queuing until 12.15 because year10 have priority on that day. so on etc. and thats how we did it so it was fairer. we also had ID cards or dinner passes so we couldn't cheat.
