Some students like going out for lunch but some of them like having lunch at school. Why do some students like to have lunch outside school? In this writing, I want to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having lunch at school and outside school.
Students who like going out for lunch can have different choices of meals. They can choose their favourite food and the food is not very expensive. Moreover, students can go out to have a break and get some fresh air. They can relax after a half day study and forget about the boring lessons. Also, they can learn how to spend money wisely and train them to think independently.
However, there are also some dangers of eating outside school. Some parents do not allow their children to go out for lunch because they may not be protected. Also, students cannot go too far away to have their lunch, otherwise they will be late for lessons. When students have ordered their food, they need to wait for the food and come back to school punctually. Students may waste a lot of time waiting for the food, especially during the rush hour.
If students have lunch at school, they can take part in activities such as playing basketball and volleyball. They can do some homework too, especially the higher form students have a heavy work load on studies and they can finish some homework during the lunchtime. Also, students can have more time to do their revision and lesson preparation. If they have any problems about books and homework, they can ask teachers immediately. It is a better way to help them get improvement in their examinations and tests.
Eating in can save both the time cost and money cost. Better yet, student can bring their home- cooked meal to school. They can choose different ingredients in their lunchbox and make the most of leftovers.
However, if students bring their own lunchbox, the lunch box that they bring may be cold at lunch, especially in winter or with low temperatures days. So, it is difficult for us to say whether eating at school or outside school is better. But I think that we should give teenagers more freedom to choose what they want. They will become the leaders in the future and they will make a lot of decisions too. Choosing the most suitable place for lunch is to train teenagers to make their own decision.
