Student Opinion: Students should be allowed to eat in school
Launch the media gallery 1 playerShould snacks be allowed in schools? This is a controversial topic for many schools and
one that I feel very strongly about. For us, we are not supposed to have snacks, but once in
awhile, a teacher will allow it. But even then, we would only be able to have certain snacks.
There are many benefits to having snacks in school though. Leigh Community Schools
needs to reconsider their stance on this policy and not only allow us to bring our own snacks,
but make snacks available to buy as well. Not only could this make school profit, but the
students could have more energy for their classes. This could improve students’ focus and
attention spans in the classroom. Every now and then, you see students start to nod off. Heck,
I will admit I have done this once or twice. But with a snack in my hand, I would easily be able
to stay awake. I’d be willing to bet that with this new rule implemented, we could even see an
improvement in overall grades.
This is why snacks should be allowed in the school during class.
