Torbett said North Carolina teachers do not currently get a "duty free lunch break." He’s right. The current law doesn’t guarantee that all teachers actually enjoy a duty-free lunch. In reality, Scioli and Jewell said many teachers eat while supervising their students or working themselves. We rate this statement .
