Are we not “allowed” to leave at lunch time?

The school doesn’t seem to care at all, whether I stay or leave to go to the konbini at lunch, but my dispatch company pushes for ALTs to eat lunch in the school building. (I don’t eat the school lunch.)

I always arrive before lunch time ends so I’m usually just gone for about 20-25 mins of the 45 minute break.

If I stay inside the school building at lunch, I end up just continuing to work (ie. grading papers, lesson planning, etc)

What do you all do when it’s your lunch time?
