We learnt how to write a argument.

We Should Be Allowed To Eat During Class Time

I strongly believe that children should be allowed to eat healthy food during class time.

Firstly it is hard to concentrate on a empty stomach. Students are more likely to fidget and not listen and get off task if they are hungry.

Secondly hunger can make learning difficult. The brain needs energy to make it function properly. If you are hungry you will have memory and concentration problems.

Thirdly eating healthy food in class would cut down on the amount of junk food eaten at play times. This would cut out behaviour problems created by unhealthy food.  It would also help to keep children healthier and maintain their ideal weight.

I believe children should be allowed to eat healthy snacks in class because food helps them to concentrate and it will cut down on unhealthy food eaten during breaks.
