Lunch Should be Longer!

   Have you ever felt rushed during lunch? I know I have, which is why I think lunch should be a longer period. First of all, we would have way more time to eat. Second of all, we can leave to go out to lunch with our families, but make it back to class on time. Third of all, we would get more social time during the day. Lastly, we would clean up our lunch tables better. Therefore, lunch should be a longer period. 

   First, I get so hungry during the day, and I'm so distracted by my growling stomach that I forget to watch the teacher and watch the clock instead. If lunch was longer we wouldn't go to our next class hungry, because we didn't get to finish our food. Instead, we would have energy for the rest of the day.

Second, some people go out to lunch with thier families, and come back to school late. If lunch was longer, we could enjoy quality time with our families and not be late to our next class. Next, If there was a test that day, and we were late, our grade might suffer, so being on time to class would be helpful. Lastly, when we get to highschool and we are allowed to eat lunch off campus, we need time to get to the resteraunt, eat and get back. If lunch was longer we wouldn't feel so stressed to get back on time. Teachers deserve to have students come to class on time. If lunch was longer, no student would have an excuse for being late. 

   Third, some people only have lunch with thier friends. If lunch was longer, we would have more social time to chat and catch up with them. Also, we've been sitting all day in class listening to the teachers, not being allowed to talk. If lunch was longer, we could talk more during lunch, and less during class. 

   Lastly, we would clean up our dirty lunch tables better if we had more time. It would teach us to be responsible, and to be less messy when we eat, if we had to clean them up ourselves. But we need time to thouroughly clean and help out the janitor. If lunch was longer we could give back to our school by keeping it clean.

  In conclusion, don't be distracted by your growling stomach! We need to finish our food and not be distracted during class. Also, we would get to go out to lunch, but make it to class on time. We would get more time with our friends if we only had lunch with them. Lastly, we would pick up our lunch tables and learn responsibilty. So the next time you see a student coucil member in the hallway, stop and tell them to petition to lenghten lunch!
