Choice Posting #3: Leaving School

10/29/12

For high school students, a day at school is a stressful and a tedious repetive life. During school, one of the few times to relax and socialize is during lunch, yet after eating in the same place for four repeating years is boring. For years, students have urged high schools to allow the students to leave school during lunch and be allowed to eat somewhere else.  While some believe this can have negative consequences, the truth is that overtime, leaving school would be beneficial to the students.

One reason for students to be allowed to leave school for lunch is that the economy would take a turn for the better. As it is sensible for students who have their licenses to be the only ones to be allowed to leave, this still leaves thousands of eligable students to leave school for lunch. This has hundreds of students from each school leaving to lunch, buying food from restaurants and fast food chains, boosting the economy. During school days, restaurants and fast food chains dont recieve much attention. Now, they will have maybe triple the amount of customers.

Aside from the economy, leaving school for lunch can be beneficial to the student. School can be very tedious and boring. While, in the past, lunch could be time for students to relax, it no longer is. Students being in an enclosed space with hundreds of students surronding them is not even close to being relaxing. But, choosing where which restaurant to eat at, whether it be by yourself, alone, and quit or with friends and relaxing, it would be a time for the students to be relieved of stress.

As a proposal, in return for more relaxed students and a better economy, students should be allowed to leave school for lunch. For the past several decades, the location of school luch has been enforced. Now would be an excellent time to change from this tedious action.
