Travel time and preparation must be considered also. Imagine you have to go on Q. This is preparation for lunch.

I don't know is this helps any but........
At the hs level, cramming everyone into a few very short lunch periods often means that not everyone gets to go thru the line plus have time to actually eat! By their sophmore year, my kids started taking a lunch from home as it usually took 15mins to get such huge groups of kids thru the line. Five minutes to eat and then run to class is absurd. Students need this break to nourish and regroup/destress. Hungry bodies can't learn!

Writing a Persuasive Essay
In a persuasive essay you are going to try to convince the reader that your point of view is best. To accomplish this, you must chose a topic which is clear and to the point and one which has more than one side that can be debated. It is important that you understand the other sides of the position so that you can give strong reasons why your way is best. In your essay, you will only present one side.
Like all kinds of five paragraph essays, there is a specific format to be followed.

Definition:
Persuasive writing works to convince the reader that a point of view is valid or persuades the reader to take specific action. It is based on a topic that is limited in scope, manageable, and debatable; a topic about which there could be more than one point of view.

Actually, in the USA, employees must have a 30 minute break every 4 hours according to US Labor laws. Sounds like a good 3rd reason to me!

Because even the law states that everyone working over 6 hours is intitled to at least a 30 minute break.
