Lunch should be longer Many people have trouble getting lunch on time. The lines are too long and take forever. We end up waiting in line for ten minutes and end up shoving people to get to the font of the line so we can have enough time to eat our lunch. Lunch at Century High School is twenty four minutes long; however lunch is too short and should be forty five minutes long. Classes are too long so that’s why we should have a longer lunch so we can be focused in class. If classes were shorter and we had a longer lunch, we could stay focused throughout our other classes. My first two classes, biology and English, are too long then I have lunch

Salazar2 which is too short. After those two classes are over I am very tired and need a longer lunch. For those reasons I think the principal should change the schedule so we can have a longer lunch. By the time you get in line and get your lunch you only have approximately fifteen minutes to eat. The lunch periods should be longer because if we have a longer time to eat it will allow us to eat slower and which is healthier. It is necessary for lunch to be longer because we can take our time to eat so we won’t get a stomach ache. After lunch I realized that I get stomach aches for the rest of my classes. To summarize fifteen minutes to scarf don our food is too short. Finally some people could use forty five minutes to do homework. People eat their lunch and see if they have enough time to their homework. Other people just use those forty five minutes just to hang out with friends. A lot of people just use the extra time to do things they have to do. At the end a lot of people could use the extra time to

Salazar3 do homework, hang out with friends and or ask their teachers on what they have missed. In conclusion, if our lunch time would be forty five instead of twenty four minutes,

Gavin, MD can choose to eat the green beans or throw them out. A kid also can choose to eat an apple instead of an ice cream sandwich. Another reason is Because they serve junk food everyday.

    “So from eating out, we can also learn how to make wise choices.” This would make students prepared for college by enabling them to leave campus and eat what they want. This independence would get kids ready to face the real world. “It provides a semi-sheltered climate to allow students to grow and become responsible.” This would give teens the privilege of not being watched every second of the day. If students disobeyed the rules of when they should be back, they could take away the privilege or give punishment. Throughout high school students don’t have very many opportunities to show how independent they are any letting them leave for lunch would be a perfect way for teens to show teachers they can be trusted and can survive in the real world.I know a lot of high school students who are very shy and keep to themselves. With the ability to leave school during lunch, kids would become more outgoing because there would be many more chances for them to socialize and interact with the real world. “If students have the privilege of off-campus lunch, they will gain more responsibility and more experience on how the real world works.” All kids have a big part in the future of our job…

    According to Change.org, 9 out of 10 students say they would eat something else besides lunch food if they had a choice. A variety of food choices outside of school will benefit a student's health. Likewise, teens need the option to go out and take a break from their 8 hour school day. According to a student on Change.org, “refreshing our minds before the next few classes would really help us focus more, being in a happier environment.” Students need a break from slaving in a desk all day, doing school work. Leaving school for lunch gives students some fresh air and time to relax their brain. Leaving school to go get lunch would help students with their physical and mental…

    Schools should make sure that the lunch they provide is nutritious. Julia Tofan, a high school student in Connecticut states, “Students deserve balanced meals that will enable our minds and bodies to power through our busy days -- not a sugar rush that won't last beyond the lunch period” (Tofan and Millerick 1). Tofan is insisting that school lunches should be healthy. School providing junk food to the students are failing them because those are calories that break down easily. Once that food is gone the students will be hungry again making lunch a waste. However, healthy foods will stick with students throughout a longer period of time as well as helping students become healthier. Schools providing nutritious lunches will allow students to…
