Shortened Lunchtimes

Here is a piece of writing that Alex completed last term very early on when we were beginning to write strong arguements. Read it and tell us what you think.

SHORTENED LUNCH TIMES by Alex Stenhouse

I am certain that the lunch times at Grey Main School are too long. We spend ¼ of a weekday at school and an amazing ¼ of that time at lunch. With shortened lunch times we will have more learning times and less bad things therefore receiving greater academic results throughout the year.

Do you believe that we already spend enough time in class? Well I am here to assure you that we don’t. At Grey Main our academic level is not great and I believe it could improve. Shorter lunch times will result in more time in class and games will definitely be more of a reward.

I strongly believe that Grey Main’s academic level is low. With less time playing we will spend more time in class learning and improving our end of year test results. More time in class will not only boost your child’s learning level but will also help them gain better manners and better people skills like being polite, respectful and caring which will turn them into better men.

With more time in class kids won’t have enough time to be bad. If a child is indoors they are under constant supervision but outdoors we have just 2 duty teachers on at a time, trying to control nearly 400 kids which is quite a struggle. You may believe that because these teachers are walking around we don’t have enough time to swear and fight but let me guarantee you that we keep an eye out for teachers we know when they are near and when they are out of sight.

That is why I believe that lunch times at school need to be shortened. This is an urgently needed change.
