I think lunch is too short to eat and return to school. I leave for lunch every day, and I believe we should at least get 45 minutes to an hour. We need more than 32 minutes to eat and return to school. I also believe and think a lot of people would agree with me. Some people park in the junior parking lot and it takes a long time to get out of the parking lot and some people also go to fast food restaurants that take super long because other people go to lunch at the same times as us. This could be made easier for everyone if lunch was extended.
When asked other students about their opinions about longer lunches, junior Cadence Stephens said “I think GHS should have an hour-long lunch, why? Because it’s only fair to the staff and students. Some people can’t afford to go through the drive-thru every day and if they live far out of town 30 minutes isn’t long enough, even with us students and staff going through the drive-thru, we still don’t have enough time to get our food and eat it without almost chocking trying to please the school.”
Overall, I think everyone can agree we need a longer lunch period. Tell us below if you agree!
