The Reason for Treats at School
Ruby Johnson
My school doesn't let kids bring in treats for their class on birthdays or special events. Our faculty says that it’s because the kids who bring in sweets will share them with people outside of class. This can hurt people's feelings, because some people get treats and others don’t. This reason makes sense, but you can enforce not sharing sweets outside of class, but saying that you can't share sweets in class (at a good time) is wrong. Schools should let kids bring treats to their homeroom/advisory on a birthday or holiday because it will make kids happier.
Most kids are tired and grumpy in the morning a small treat will give kids a burst of energy to help them wake up. It is scientifically proven that sugar gives a short burst of endorphins that will make you happier and more energetic. Although this small spike in energy is short, it will push kids to wake up faster, because kids can be quite tired in the morning. The school teachers will have an easier time teaching kids in the morning if they are awake and ready to learn, therefore giving a small treat to kids on special occasions will not hurt them and might even help them.
Children should be allowed to bring in treats to celebrate birthdays or special events. On a joyful occasion like a birthday, a kid should have a way that they can celebrate with their class and it’s a tradition to share treats on a birthday. Kids don’t appreciate it when they can’t bring in treats to advisory because they don’t know another good way to celebrate with their friends. Many kids feel disconnected if they don’t have a way to set aside (a small amount) of class time to bond with their classmates on their birthday or another holiday.
Although there are many reasons to bring treats for a special occasion, there are some counter-arguments. The reason why the faculty has put the no treats in advisory rule is that kids will take the treats outside of their advisory/homeroom. Kids will then pick and choose who gets what treat, and this could make a kid feel left out if they don’t get a treat and all their friends have one. The giving out of sweets outside of class can also cause a commotion during lunch, snack, or transition times. Schools should regulate treats outside of homeroom/advisory. maybe even make kids only bring enough treats of the advisory ensuring that there will be none left over to cause a problem instead of banning all treats from holidays. I know that this works because I contacted a teacher and they said that on my birthday I could bring in treats for my advisory if I didn't share them outside of class. If we make that the standing rule, kids can have a way to celebrate holidays and they won't end up hurting feelings.
In conclusion schools should let kids bring treats for their birthday or other holiday. Doing this will help wake up kids in the morning and give them a fun way to celebrate holidays with their classmates. This will also boost student morale. I believe that if schools put this into place they should regulate treats outside of advisory/homerooms. So schools should make it so kids can bring in sweets to celebrate special occasions with there class. Kids deserve treats on special occasions, and by setting up the right rules, it would not be a problem for them to enjoy some sweets.
