Why should students have a longer lunch period in middle school?

Answer 1

No. The state tells the schools how many minutes, hours, days, and weeks in the school day, month and year. If schools don't meet this the school has to make up the lost time or days. They are very picky and even count the time between classes, and the number of seconds in the school day. So, with a longer lunch students would have to stay later in the day. A longer lunch period would also result in greater problems with staffing and some students would soon find themselves in trouble when they have nothing to do.
