[Reporter Cai Yahua/Taipei Report] Schools at all levels below high school have different ways of taking lunch breaks. Many schools stipulate that students are not allowed to walk outside, and some schools allow students to choose activities outside the classroom. In the same way, propose to the school for independent use of lunch breaks, and allow students to move freely in non-teaching areas. It is expected that a referendum will be piloted in the next semester.

The High School Affiliated to Normal University stated that this case is a preliminary proposal by the student union and has not yet been discussed in the school. The results of the follow-up referendum will be used as reference opinions. The actual implementation will still be discussed by the life counseling committee.

The Student Union of the High School Affiliated to Normal University pointed out that the current situation is that students must rest in the classroom at noon from 12:30 to 55 noon and are not allowed to walk outside. Therefore, the proposal plans to allow students to go to non-teaching areas for activities besides resting in the classroom , such as the library, the old North Building, the volleyball court, etc.

The student union further pointed out that in order to avoid affecting those who need to rest, please refrain from engaging in loud noises, playing musical instruments, and using sound amplification equipment such as stereos near the teaching area.

Clubs shall not force members to participate in club activities. At the same time, in order to avoid making noise when entering and leaving the classroom and causing students to be unable to rest, students are requested to minimize their entry and exit.

The student union said that the lunch break is a time for students to take a breather during the busy school period, but each student has different ways of taking a break. Some students are suitable for taking a break in the classroom, while others need to walk outside the classroom to change their mood, or go to the playground to exercise , Chat with friends to relieve stress.

In order to show the freedom of the school spirit, the student union will open up more flexibility to the school proposal to allow students to use the noon time independently. If the school affairs meeting is passed, it is hoped that the trial will be launched in the next semester after a referendum. During the trial period, a complaint mechanism will be established to evaluate the appropriateness of this system.
