Last month, Robinson has established a lunch tutoring program called the “No Opt Out Program,” also known as NOOP. This plan was meant to give students the opportunity to catch up on their missing schoolwork.

On the beginning of the week, teachers would send names to Lora Morgan, Robinson’s climate and culture resource teacher and manager of NOOP, then students will be given a lunch pass on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to do their makeup work. However, people might start to notice that the program is only limited to freshmen and sophomore students.

“It [the No Opt Out Program] is available if they [11th and 12th grade students] want to, we’re just focusing on the 9th and 10th graders because they’re the ones who are getting used to high school [and] they’re getting used to all these assignments,” Morgan said.

Currently NOOP is only running during traditional lunches.

“We haven’t found that IB students are struggling academically as much, and we just haven’t seen the need for it with IB yet,” Morgan said.

With this newfound program, teachers and students have been adjusting to it the past month with some stating their opinions and suggestions.

“I think they should’ve coordinated it better, not only the teachers but the students because I know me, and a lot of other people are very confused,” Lily Clark (’27) said. “Nobody knew what subject they were getting tutoring in…I feel like there could’ve been better communication so that less people are confused.”

Despite the fact that there are some who don’t mind having NOOP, there are some who don’t find it as beneficial as it should be.

“It doesn’t really help that much,” Bronson Curry (’26) said. “I went there, and I got like one page done; it feels like jail to be honest.”
