The administration officially reversed the decision and our morning break is returning. I am so relieved my friends will finally have time to eat again. We need to stay focused to ensure the change happens exactly as promised.
Starting this year, our morning break has been cancelled \"in order to enhance the safety of our learning environment and to reduce student tardiness\".
Cancelling our break will not increase our safety or reduce tardiness. More students will be in the halls at once making it harder to get to class and also making it easier for fights to occur because of limited supervision.
Having break allows students who do not have enough time at home, to eat breakfast at school (since we cannot bring in our own food). It also helps the school make a profit by selling food
I have been hearing from so many of you who are missing your only chance to eat before the afternoon and it confirms exactly why we cannot let this change stand. The administration is still ignoring my emails about the overcrowding in the hallways but I am preparing to present these stories directly to the school board.

Seeing one hundred people recognize how much we need this break is overwhelming. This change in our schedule feels unfair to every student who relies on that morning time to eat. I am honestly stunned by this initial response.

Seriously? We need a minute to breathe. This is just gonna make kids more stressed and prone to acting out.

The hallways are already a zoo between classes. Taking away our break is just punishing everyone. Please bring it back.
