Heh. I went to public schools here in Aus, where we don't have cafeterias like you guys. We bring our lunches to school, or buy them from the canteen and it is all prepackaged stuff except the salad sandwiches which were actually pretty decent but sooo expensive, and we sit wherever the heck we like within reason. The teachers patrolled the areas kids are allowed to sit in, both in primary school and high school (no middle school here, high school runs from year 7 to year 12).

Though, that doesn't mean much altogether. My first high school had a really good selection of classes, but the kids themselves were smokers and whatnot. Also, there was a big thing about trying to get the girls to wear longer skirts and plain singlets under their white shirts, but that never worked. Average length of a skirt was short enough that the pleated ones flipped up in the back and showed the girl's underwear.

In case anyone is wondering, I wore mine to my knees. I had a girl ask me why I wore my skirt so long and I turned to her and said "Because I don't like looking like a slut." She told the science teacher, the science teacher took me aside and said "I know it may be true, but you can't actually say that." True story.
