Longer Lunch Period

           Do you find yourself just sitting down once everyone is starting to go outside? Or do you get so hungry that you get a really big lunch and you are still trying to finish when the teachers are rushing you to go outside? What would you think of a longer lunch period? I believe that we should have longer lunch periods for many reasons.

First of all, students are stuck in classes all day and we finally have time to catch up with our friends and just talk. If you learned manners when you were little you would know that it is quiet rude to talk with the mouth full, so how are we going to have time to catch up and eat within the time frame? Secondly, the teachers always end up calling your table last so you never have time to eat everything on your tray. Having a longer lunch period would mean that the teachers could let our table go in whatever order and the students would still be able to finish their lunch in time to be done and have time to go outside for some fresh air.

Lastly, a lot of students are saying "we need a longer lunch period" but not a lot of students take into to consideration Horizon or PLE. Our schedule times out perfectly with the other schools so that the busses can get to our school, drop us off, then get back to Horizon and PLE and take them home. Therefore, lets say that we had school until 3:00 se we could have around 15 more minutes for lunch. So then the kids at horizon and PLE would get off 15 minutes later than they usually do and the timing would work out.  Please take into consideration understand we find ourselves rushing to get outside, and to our next class with a full stomach. I hope that this has shown you that I believe there are many reasons why we should have a longer lunch period.
