Dear Mr. Figueroa,

When you were child, didn’t you ever feel that rush of pure happiness and adrenaline right when that 3rd period bell rang for lunch? Didn’t you ever sprint to be first out the door and into the heaven of a cafeteria? Weren’t you excited to hang out with your friends? Hi, I’m Debby, a sixth grade student here at Herbert Hoover Middle School and I’d like for you to lengthen our time during lunch periods. Lunchtime is the students’ free time to refresh themselves, tend to their hungry stomachs, free their stressed minds, and just hang out and have fun with friends. I’m sure you understand that. However, these are not the only reasons to lengthen students’ lunch periods. To begin with, if students buy and their row is called last, they usually only have one or two minutes to stuff their lunches down their throats. Even though their row will be called last to recycle and throw away their lunches, the recycling comes and goes at a fast rate. It will only give students about two minutes of bonus time. An average school lunch here at Herbert Hoover consists of a sub with lettuce, cheese, salami, ect., a small salad, fruit, milk, juice, and macaroni salad. Is three minutes really enough to consume all of this lunch? Would you be able to? Sometimes, students will try to finish their entire lunch. However, eating at a too-fast speed can result in horrible stomachaches, bad digestion, or even choking! If any of this happens to students, parents may call and complain, and even sue the school! In fact, I know that all of this has happened to me before. I buy every day, and whenever my row is called last, I end up wolfing down my food. Once, I was eating way too fast and I choked. Afterwards, during 4th and 5th periods, I had a terrible churning bellyache, slowly ruining my digestion system. If you allow students to have a longer lunch period, it would also make the lunch ladies and men very happy. It would allow them to have longer time to prepare lunch for the hundreds of students. It would also help them to not have to stress and strain to serve lunches in our limited lunch time. Lastly, if students do not have enough time to eat their lunches, they will have to throw out and waste them. This would not only waste their parents’ money, but would also leave students hungry. Some people might think lengthening the lunch periods would be the worst mistake in the entire school history. It would mean taking from valuable class time. One thing I know is, according to research, America is slowly becoming the dumbest nation. However, with food and its nutrients, students would be able to concentrate, listen, and take in information better. Instead of 35 minutes on a class passing notes and silently gossiping with others, spending a half hour listening and absorbing information would be a whole lot better. Students would actually get better grades and understand the subjects they are learning. Don’t you see? A longer lunch period is the way to go. As you can understand, having longer lunch periods would be very beneficial to our school. It would prevent stomachaches, bad digestion, and choking. It would make students and lunch ladies very happy and would even boost students’ grades! Through my opinion, lengthening lunch periods would be one of the best choices in Herbert Hoover history! In fact, it might even help prevent America from becoming the dumbest nation! Wouldn’t it be great, if the grades of Herbert Hoover students suddenly shot up to all As and Bs? Please consider my suggestion and tell me what you think. I will be looking forward to your reply.
