It doesn't seem like everyone has enough time to eat lunch in the 25 minute schedule for lunch. I think they should add on a few more minutes for us because I see everyone rushing to eat their food. On the other side, there is more class time for teachers with the middle period. There are both good and bad outcomes to the 25 minute lunch period, but do we need more time or less time?
30 minutes can allow kids to be less rushed, as there is always a big line for lunch. According to Health Essentials, it shows that eating slower can have a lower risk of obesity. I feel like it also allows food to settle before moving onto the next class. Kids don't finish all of their lunch in the 25 minute period, which results in food waste. Slow eaters are also healthier than fast eaters, according to Health Essentials. I think the extra 5 minutes could make a huge difference, but you would have to cut some class time.
On the other side, you could only finish lunch in 20 minutes and be done with it. Although some people could finish lunch in 5-10 minutes, they are likely overeating and having indigestive risks, according to Health Essentials. People who eat their lunch quickly can develop diabetes and become obese (Health Essentials). It also shows why some kids can get sick after lunch and leave. I think teachers would like a 20 minute lunch period so they have more time to teach instead of the lunch period taking up half of the time. I see many teachers complaining about the shortened period for lunch.
Overall, I think the 30 minute lunch would be better for everyone since they wouldn't be in a big rush for lunch. The 20 minute lunch would stress some people out, and there would be more chances of kids becoming unhealthy. Although the classes would be cut short in the 30 minute lunch period, it allows kids to not leave school because of getting sick for being fast eaters. The 25 minute period we currently have is in the middle of both the times I have talked about. The 25 minute period might be alright, but some kids still have to rush and eat, which is why I think we need an extra 5 minutes.
Are you for more or less time for lunch?
How many minutes should be allowed for lunch?
What is your opinion on the current lunch schedule?

I am for more time at lunch because then i can sit and talk to my firneds for a longer amount of time, but also with 25 minute long lunches there is still a bit fo time left over when people finish eating and dump their trays and somtimes in the free time people mes around.
I agree, we would have more time to talk to friends with an extra 5 mintues, I think it would make a difference for lunch and we would be less stressed about it.
I don't seem to have a problem with a 25-minute lunch I usually get done in time but after there's not much time to talk to my friends or go to the bathroom without requiring a pass. I feel like a happy medium for lunch time can be 30-35 minutes what works for the school's schedule.
I agree everyone would better with an 5-10 minutes and not use up a pass during class. The schedule is alright for school, but everyone feels rushed with their time.
Personally, I would like to have 30 minutes of lunch. It's enough for me to eat in 25 minutes, but to digest the food and take a proper break, the 25 are not quite enough. I'm sure 5 minutes would make a big difference. After I've eaten, I have maybe 5 to 7 minutes of rest.
I agree, we need a little time to wind down and relax while getting ready for the other half of the day. Many students would also feel less rushed with an extra 5 minutes to spare and do what they want.
I think that the amount of time we have to eat now is okay, but more time would be nice. There are some days when I have time after I'm finished, but there are other days when I'm rushing to dump my tray. I don't think that we need more time, but again, it would be nice.
I agree, most of the times I am also rushing through my lunch since they don't give us enough time to eat. I think lunch would be better with an extra 5 minutes.
I think that we should get 30 minutes of lunch. Although it's only 5 minutes it makes a huge difference. Standing in line during lunch takes the longest, and after standing in line you only have about 15 minutes to eat and use the bathroom. I don't think thats fair at all. I think they should raise the time up and allow us to enjoy lunch.
I agree, many would finish their lunch in an extra 5 minutes. They would have more time to fill their water and use the bathroom, so they don't have to use an E-Hall Pass. I agree they should have us enjoy lunch.
