Our children do not have a long enough lunch for there school day! It brakes my heart to hear not only my kids but other to say they didnt have enough time to finish there lunch. 

I have heard this many times amd as a parent hearing your child say they are so hungry when they come home from school because they couldnt finish there lunch in because they didnt have enough time brakes my heart. The avarage lunch for students is about 20 minutes and that time starts at the bell not when every child has got there food! So by the time some stand in line get there food and then finally sit down some are left with only 10 minutes or less to eat. 

Now it's deffently not healthy to eat fast and it is in no way safe!! There children and yes some may get distracted while talking or what not but lunch has always been short. As a child i remember just eating and not talking much because i new i didnt have a lot of time to finish my lunch. 

If a child is hungry durring the day that is also going to affect there attitude there focus and over all health. 

Giving students a longer lunch means everyone gets to eat without rushing and actually finish there meal!  Doing this not only will benifit thr students but the teachers as well! 

We need longer lunch in our schools for our children!! Please help me stand up and be a voice for children!!!! Lets give our children more time to eat there lunch!!!!
