Knowing Quebec, this is probably because there was the risk that someone may utter a word in the English language, and therefore jeopardize the "value" of French culture forever!

What a prison warden just took over the school recently or what ?

They don't ban talking during meals in prisons, so I doubt it. I guess Quebec should model their schools after prisons in order to improve freedoms.

She said her son's behaviour has deteriorated since the new rule came into effect.

"When he returned to school, he became hyperactive," Gagnon said. "He would jump on the couch — like a little monster, you might say."

I have to agree that this is laughable. Because the kid has to be quiet for 15 minutes during the day all of a sudden he's developed ADHD? What garbage.

Quite right. Conversation isn't 'banned' in the dining hall in prison. But one only has ELEVEN MINUTES from the time they enter the dining hall, until they must leave-as the next guy who always sits in the chair you are occupying-has now entered the hall to eat, and he will dump you out on your ass. No time for conversating!

Most kids would rather be playing than eating. Eleven minutes is about the maximum time you can get a kid to sit at a table and eat, so it still works.
