Do you feel that lunch is too short and you never have enough time to eat, talk to your friends, and ask a teacher for help on something? I feel the same way about lunch too! The two main things that I like about lunch, besides eating, are having the time to socialize and having free time.
I can’t stand it when you are trying to talk to your friends in class and you get in trouble. I mean, you should be working, but kids do need some time to talk.
If we had a longer lunch hour we would have time to go talk to our teachers about something we don’t understand or need help with. Sometimes you need to go to the nurse or see a counselor, and lunch is the perfect time!
Another reason I think lunch should be longer is, because we need some free time in the day. RIGHT? Lunch is a great time when you can catch up on homework. A great time to clear your mind or concentrate / study for a test. It also is the one school period where you can be a kid and just do nothing!
Time for socializing with friends, asking teachers about things you don’t understand, and some free time during the day to be a kid, catch up on your homework, and a great time to clear your mind and study, are the reasons why I think there should be a longer school lunch. All my reasons are things that we need to do, and we can’t do all of the things in 30 minutes, so I think we should have an hour!
