I think that students deserve a recess longer than fifteen minutes. When recess finally comes‚ it passes by in a flash because there isn’t enough time to play and use the restroom. Kids also don’t get enough exercise and it makes them hyper during class. They don’t get enough communication with others and it won’t improve their social ability‚ which proves that recess is really important and leads me to conclude that we need longer recesses. Getting longer recesses will not only benefit ourselves

Why Did Henry Break With Rome? Henry the VIII broke from Rome because of four main reasons: money‚ power‚ religion and succession. Some of the main reasons are linked together‚ one example is succession which is linked to power. By having a son he thought it would maintain his power at the throne when he was no longer ruler. I think that power was the most important reason. I think this because if he broke away from the Church of Rome‚ he could take control of the church. This meant that he could
