I agree that the lunch period should be longer, but students also need to carry the responsibility of behaving during the lunch period. I think sometimes they are intentionally short because the school is afraid of how students might use any extra time.

I went to west three years ago almost four and we had lunch for 30 minutes and it still wasn’t enough time for us. So them changing it to 20 minutes I know there is probably teenagers who don’t eat because they don’t have time. Something needs to change so all teenagers can eat.

So yeah, 20 min for kids school lunch its time schools get their mess together. Including the take in and let out times not everyone is a stay home parent or able to bus it times have changed both parents work

This is ridiculous. My son comes home and states he didn’t have time to eat. He is starving by the time he gets home. Something needs to change.

I thought it was bad when my kids went to school. Twenty minutes is ridiculous, it’s unhealthy. Now that lunches are free, you’ve made it impossible for them to eat. Makes absolutely no sense. Are the teachers only getting 20 min lunches?

By time they get their food, they have only a few minutes before they have to leave. Kids deserve longer lunches and shouldn't have to scarf down their food so they won't be late to clsss!

I totally agree. The lines are too long for them even to get a lunch let alone have time to eat it.

Between rigorous classes, long days and extracurricular activities, proper nutrition is a necessity for students to perform at their utmost best. Quickly eating is the beginning of overeating and unhealthy habits. Longer lunches are a necessity.

My daughter has gone without eating many days simply because there isn’t time to eat. This is an unhealthy habit to form, not to mention proper nutrition is conducive to better learning outcomes.
