Eating Outside V.S. Eating Inside
All of you are aware that we have been either eating outside or inside we can no longer eat in our classrooms. We’ve been doing this for some time already. Some students like to eat in the cafeteria and some students like eating outside. Outside it is safer because of covid and there is more free space. Also if you finish early you can run around or talk to your friends. Of course there are also some disadvantages. You have to have your 10 minute brain break in your classroom before going outside. Another disadvantage is as soon as you open your lunch box the flies come. Eating in the cafeteria is also ok. There are a lot of tables so you don’t have to put your lunch on the floor. There are also no bugs so you don’t have to swat flies away from you. There is also supposed to be a x on every seat you can’t sit on so you are spaced out. There are some disadvantages to eating in the cafeteria too. It is noisy, there is yelling and people talking over each other. Also you can’t get up to throw trash away. So if you have something gross like a banana peel you can’t get up to throw it away. Instead, you have to hold on to it and wait until the end of lunch so you can get a trash volunteer to come and then you can throw it away. I asked some kids who were sitting at the same table as me and they all said that they prefer eating outside because it is less noisy and you can eat with as many people as you want and not have to worry about finding a table to fit all your friends. They also like eating outside because you can walk around and not have to stay in your seat. It seems like more people like eating outside. Then, I asked my friend when I was opening my locker if she preferred eating outside or inside. She said that she liked eating inside because it was too hot outside. It is a little bit hot outside but hopefully it gets a little cooler soon. But what I don’t like is eating in the hallway. We have to eat in the hallway when it is raining so we can’t eat outside. Eating in the hallway isn’t really covid safe because since it is a hallway people are always passing by. That is why I don’t like eating outside. I went back to the kids that I was sitting with when I asked them if they liked eating inside or outside. I asked them if they liked eating in the hallway or the classroom. They said no because it isn’t covid safe. Some people might actually like eating the hallway but. One thing that is good about eating in the hallway is that you can spread out more because there’s more space. That is what most students think about eating outside and inside.
