School Rules: Eating in the Classroom

Ada Li

In the classroom, the thing you should do is focusing on the study. However, you bring food to the classroom. Then you need to listen to what the professor says, take notes, and eat your breakfast, lunch or dessert at the same time. It is obvious that your efficiency of learning would be influenced. I think eating in the classroom is really not a suitable behavior in the classroom.

In fact, it is not just your own business when you eat something in the classroom. The classroom is a space where everybody uses it together. When somebody is eating in the classroom, the smell of food absolutely spreads everywhere. Especially, many different smells are mixed-up! That would certainly make the impact on other classmates and the professor.

I think it is impolite to eat something when the professor is talking. You are not watching a movie with popcorn! And I can imagine what feeling the professor has when he is teaching hard but the students are eating. We are learning from the professor. I think it is necessary and important to show our respect and politeness for professors.

Although it is not good to eat in the classroom, we should care for the arrangement of the school timetable. Actually, I ever had classes continuously from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in one day. In this case, I had to eat food in the classroom, or avoid attending the class for getting something to eat. Therefore, it seems hard to forbid eating in the classroom totally sometimes.

A man cannot be in two places at once. Thus, you go to class and focus on it. You want to eat and you fill your stomach with food. But, do not do them at the same time. Then, your study would be better, and you digest food in a healthier way. I think the forming of school rules must have some good reasons; that is why we should obey them.
