Reverting the designated time for students lunch period from 30 minutes to 45 minutes
We the students of the HISD Energy Institute, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Food to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the students of HISD Energy Institute we need to stand up the the unfair changes that this school has made to our lunch. We need these 45 minutes of lunch, it allows for a great break for students. Students need to eat there lunch especially if they get lunch from the line that takes almost 30 minutes alone. Plus chatting with people is a great way to relax the mind from schoolwork making the next class even better. Please consider signing this petition so we can make lunch great again.
Consider this,

There's also no passing period for lunch so you are spending lunch time just moving to the cafeteria. The lines for microwaves and lunch are also long.
I can barely eat lunch and communicate with my friends before I hear that horrid bell. I shouldn’t have to scarf down food and rush conversations, thats just not fair. Lunch is the only time of day where I can genuinely do that— eat and communicate with friends, why take that away? It wont improve educational performance thats for sure. I’m human. Not a robot.
As lunch is a time of socialization and community, students should have the chance to have time to eat and talk to their friends, without feeling rushed, before their next class. In addition, the loss of 15 minutes gives students who need to eat lunch less time to eat, and as Anthony Brent said, any clubs that meet during lunch are decreased in the time they can meet, allowing for less social time when we already have almost NO opportunities for socialization during the school day.
Lunch is out of control. If you aren't provided a lunch from home, or running to the lunch line, you're most likely going to spend at least a third of your lunch actually getting something to eat. Then you have around 10 minutes taken up by eating, then around 10 left to socialize or do anything. But imagine how this is for those who don't like to socialize. The ban outlaws gaming devices, headphones, or earphones, meaning that playing games, listening to music, and scrolling is not an option. Not to mention that most lunchtime clubs have been shut down due to the decreased lunch time, leaving there with nothing to do but talk, and sit around. With all of this in mind, I hope that some change is done.
With 90 min of nonstop class time and five minuites to get to each class AND use the restroom before (most) classes, a longer lunch time allows students to regroup and ground themselves before going back to the nonstop 90 min classes
