Should middle school students be able to sit wherever they want during lunch?

Answer 1

Instead of the 3 basic meals a day we've come to believe in during the 20th century, it's been strongly indicated that many smaller meals spread throughout theday (5 or 6 is the belief now), are generally better for the subject, especially in terms of weight control and also alertness. Starting this as an eating pattern in early development may imprint and have lifelong beneficial effects, especially on obesity and healthy diet.

Answer 2

If you are talking about eating during classes, in this retrospect I guess you could say that it will help to stimulate a child's' mind. Due to the fact that some students need more food to keep their mind active and not lose focus you may see it in this light. However, it may be taken advantage of and may disrupt lessons due to possible disruptive students. So in hindsight, people's views will differ on their views on whether it is a good thing or not. But to be totally honest, that is what break times are there for and those times should be the only times necessary to consume food.

Answer 3

Educators have various ideas about this. Some think that lunch should be a very relaxed time and that students should sit with their friends. Other educators believe that it is good for students to learn to spend time with various people and to make new friends, and that lunch is the ideal time for this kind of socializing.

Answer 4

it depends!

unhealthy snacks such as cake, cookies, honeybuns, Oreos, suger gummie snack then yes but a healthy snack such as a 1000 fruit juice box, baked chips, chex mix, penutbutter or cheese crakers than no it should not be banned!

Answer 5

I think it depends on the snack and when it is eaten. Most schools have a 15-20 break in the morning where snacks are sold on campus, but eating junk food in class should not be allowed. I often told my 5th grade students they could bring cheese, fruit, yogurt, and other good food to have a snack in class, but not bring in junk food like chips or candy. I had a refrigerator in the class to keep things cold if it was needed. I also kept trail mix and fruit bars for the children who hadn't eaten breakfast. Learning can't take place when the brain doesn't have the energy, but junk food does not help learning.

Answer 6

Yes, because they can get better food and they can get what they want. They can get more for two dollars than they can get at the school.
