Should lunchtime be shortened?

Dear Mr Hendricks

Should lunchtime be shortened?

I think that our lunchtime should not be shortened by half an hour. The reasons are we should just leave it as it is because it is boring at home and there is nothing to do. Also I think it is not a clever idea to go home half an hour early because when you're the only child you want to stay at school with your friends and play games with them  and it’s more fun to stay with friends than go home.

Firstly it’s boring at home because I have no brothers or sisters. So I think that lunch time should just stay an hour so I can spend time with my friends and play handball and other stuff with them than be at home bored out of my mind. My opinion is that fifteen out of twenty-four children in my class don’t go to sport in the afternoon so there is really no point to shorten our lunchtime.

Lastly lunchtime should not be reduced to half an hour because some parents have work and they won't be able to pick their children up and some parents don’t want their children to be home alone.

In conclusion, for the above reasons, I believe that lunchtime shouldn’t be shortened.

Yours sincerely
