Default Quebec school bans talking at lunch

Quote:
Since the start of the school year, the 150 students at École Notre-Dame in Waterloo, Que., have been eating their lunches in silence in the school gymnasium.

For 15 minutes, the only sound permitted, besides the sound of chewing, is the relaxing music played through the school's sound system.

When the 15 minutes are over, the students are allowed to go outside, where they can stretch their vocal cords as they please.

This seems absolutely insane. I could understand wanting to curb loud and boisterous behaviour, but no talking? That is ridiculous. The kids aren't in prison.
