It may sound like a stupid idea, but if the students have to walk slightly further to get their cheeseburgers it might be good for them.
Walk? They'll drive if old enough or get lifts if not. MPs have totally failed to make most schools safe for walking and cycling, plus "parental choice" leads to people sending their children to non-local schools and then pleading they have to drive to drop kids off before work. Maybe they should fix that too?
If England lose in a few hours, compulsory national football service from 8-18 should fix two problems then. Who says no?
