This is my neice's debate she had to write...
anyone have any suggestions/changes that they think would make it better?
please keep in mind she's 12
My Debate is for recess to be 15 minutes longer
My reasons are kids don’t have enough time to eat and play within 20 minutes. My second reason is, if recess is extended, kids will get more time to play and run around, making them healthier and fitter. My final reason is if kids use up energy outside running around, they will have less energy and therefore be quieter and more settled in class.
Expanding on my first topic kids don’t have enough time to eat and play within 20 minutes, I also think it is a very frustrating that kids either leave their sandwiches in their lunch boxes for the parent/parents to clean out in addition to their list of chores or just put them straight in the bin after 3 or 4 bites which is a waste of the parent/parents time making and buying them.
Expanding on my second reason, kids will get more time to play and run around. At recess and lunch 3 quarters of the school are playing some kind of sporting game or running around. If recess is extended not only will the kids who play run around more but the kids who don’t might even be inspired to get out there and have a kick of the footy.
And finally my last reason, kids use up energy outside running around, they will have less energy and therefore be quieter and more settled in class. Kids give teachers enough grief as it is so making them more settled would not only make it a less grouchy environment but it would help the teachers to control the kids.
In my conclusion, kids would benefit in many ways from an extended recess, in fact, teachers and parents would also benefit from kids being happier when they come home from school or enter the classroom. This would definitely be an improvement in the school and I hope you agree with me.
