We had the opposite problem last year. My DS6 would eat all his food in the first couple of minutes and then get in trouble because 22 minutes was too long for him to just sit at the lunch table. Our school switched to 18 minutes for lunch and there was mixed emotions from the parents. The truth is that some kids needs 5 minutes and some kids needs 30 minutes. The chaos in the lunch room---well that's another story!
