Junior high students who love lunch break find sense of belonging at school, BYU study findsLunch breaks in middle schools tend to be unstructured but findings of a new Brigham Young University study make the case for implementing intentional activities that can bolster students' sense of belonging. “BYU Study”seems contradictory.
