Students, especially high school students, shouldn't have to scarf down something at their locker/out of there backpack and use only the water fountain between classes. This is neither healthy nor efficient for them. The school counts eating during class to be a class distraction in some way, yet how has it really affected anyone in a negative way? I understand it might get in the way of teaching but this snack time could even be made during the end of class. Food can also be found to be messy, but if the student cleans up after themselves it shouldn't be a huge issue.
It’s to my understanding that every school and teacher wants their students to achieve and soar for goals within life, so this possible idea of a snack time should be a priority to them also. This snack time will overall help the student within their performance in studies by keeping their brains fueled with the energy needed, and refueling the energy lost throughout the day. Who doesn’t need a little refresher every once in a while
