Should middle school students have longer lunch brakes?

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.

Answer 2

Probably. There are quite a few things wrong with the school curriculm in the US today. If that change alone would improve academics I would favor it. I would also favor adding to the length of the school year and the school day, mandate tougher courses, eliminate most extra-curricular activities, add a heavy dose of physical activity while cutting sports and adding arts. Perhaps school uniforms and single-sex education is extreme, but more discipline is essential. Other countries are producing a better product, and the US must prepare a student able to excel in both college and society.

Answer 3

It depends. The times allowed for lunch vary from school to school. If lunch time is so short that the last students through the lunch line do not have time to eat without rushing, they should have a longer lunch time.

Answer 4

no because if schools have any longer lunch breaks, there may be longer school hours or same school hours, but less learning for children.
