Sneaking snacks to the movie theaterHave you ever snuck snacks to the movies before? Well, I have! Imagine someone right

next to you sat down and bought a fresh batch of buttery popcorn, a slushy and some chocolate.Well, on the other side you open your backpack and you pull out a bag of popcorn from your home,some sour patch kids and some Reese’s from home and some sprite.

Even though you are not able to sneak snacks into a movie, I still think it is ok because someone “can break out into an allergic reaction to some of the food at the movie theater and they may think it is unfair because they were not able to eat anything. Because you can be to the food and you would be able to eat your food at the movies”.

Another reason is at a supermarket, you can get a pack of popcorn pack for like 2 dollars.But at a movie theater If you by a popcorn bowl at the movies they cost like 10 dollars.

After all I think sneaking snacks to the movies ok because of my reasons One: An Allergic reaction and the second one is: To much money and a long line. And because I do actually think that my home popcorn is better because I can add extra toppings on it and same with my candy.

Is it ok to sneak snacks into the movies? Many people debate if sneaking snacks into the movies is reasonable or not reasonable. I think it is reasonable to bring snacks into the movies because the workers even think that it is unreasonable to pay that much for snacks. “most moviemanigors who sneak snacks are avoiding high prices. It is not just the high prices for the people who have allergies can't eat anything from the movies. “Plus people say there are some snacks that the movies does not offer. Many people also think it is ok to buy the popcorn but still sneak some snacks. The main part of the movies cut of cash is high food prices. Which many people think is ridiculous that piece of candy cost mare the ticket alone. More of the food at the movies are more high calories so they would bring there one snack there. People that sneak snacks into the movies are thinking about how much the movies make by the prices. Also that when some people that come they can not have any food. Some people stand up to the movies and do not buy anything except the tickets. Unlike other people that sneak in food but still buy food and other things there. When people stand up to the movies they are hoping others will join in and take the stand. Some people join in, take the stand and will not buy things from the movies and even when you buy popcorn you are still taking the stand. The people that sneak them in are also hoping that the movies will give in and lower the prices. Most people are comfortable with this but some people are not but you half to agree there prices are unreasonable.

Why School Shouldn’t Ban TagMy opinion is that you should not ban tag.

Many people love tag. It’s a fun sport. If people don’t want to play sports they can just play tag. You don’t need equipment to play tag. No one can be left out in tag.

Tag is a great exercise. Many people are obese and fat so they need to lose weight. If kids can’t make quick decisions it is the perfect game for them. You can play the game just about anywhere. It is such a popular game.

Tag is a perfect game. You know why? Well, I will tell you why. Many people are obese. They need to lose some weight. They are really fat. Trust me.

This why tag should not be banned. You can play with unlimited people. Anyone could play tag. Tag is a great sport. Sharks and Minnows are almost the same but with more players.

Should you bring snacks to the movies?

Have you ever got a snack from the movies? Was the snack the way you like it? These questions are because I think that you should be able to bring snacks to the movies from home. It will make your movie better if this does not happen.

What if you and your family bought a snack and one was allergic to an ingredient and you did not know that, that ingredient was in there what would happen. Katie Meyer says’s “some kids don’t like the snack at the movie theatre, and some have special diets and allergies”. So if someone has an allergic reaction at the movie theater what will happen. The movie would not be peaceful to others is someone has an allergic reaction and how will you know you are in the dark. They would also have to stop the movie you were watching. So how do allergies ruin your movie?

When you buy food at the movies it is a lot of money. When I go to the movies and we buy some things it ends up being almost $40 only for food. When you go to the movies you go to relax you don’t go to pay all your money for something that you may not like it is not good to waste money on food that is not always good. Katie Meyer says’s” a large popcorn cost $7 dollars and I can get microwave popcorn for under $2 at a supermarket”. When you go to the movies are you thinking about how much money you are giving them for what snacks you get. How much money are you giving to the movie theater?

Finally, I think you should be able to bring your own snacks to the movies you never know how much money you will need and if someone will have an allergic reaction. Is your movie snacks good for what you are paying or is it overpriced? Are you or a family member allergic to something a movie theater uses for food? What do you think about bringing your own snacks to the movie will it make your movie better or worse?

WHY SHOULD YOU NOT BAN TAG Do you want tag to be banned?

You should not ban tag because if you play something at your school and it gets ban you can play tag. If tag gets ban and all the games that you play that are banned you can’t play tag or anything. Also if tag is like cops and robbers and Freeze tag and Sharks and Minnows so that will be banned also.

So if you play tag you will have fun. if they ban it you will be board and you we need to just talk with your friends and I don’t think that’s fun so schools should not ban tag And also If teachers catch you playing then you Will get in trouble and you can’t do anything because they ban tag.So that is why they should not ban tag.

By Carlo

Why schools should not ban tagDo you like tag and do you think schools should ban tag well i don't think they

should ban tag! Because tag is a fun game where you get a lot of exercise. also it helps your brain think fast on where to move. And some time you are not on the field and cant play the games that you play on the field so tag is a good game for the black top. And there is no limit for players so anyone can play and have fun.

Why schools think they should ban tag Schools think they should ban tag because they say it is not safe because you can fall down and hurt your self bad. But i think that is not true because that is only if you are a rough person. And schools say to walk when your are playing

tag and if you get caught they will stop you. Conclusion

Over all tag is a fun game for everyone and schools should not ban tag.

Introduction Have you ever played tag? I have, it's a great way of exercising but schools are thinking of banning it. We should stand up and diny it. We should deny it because it is a great, fun and brain exercise game for all schools. I think that tag is a safe game and the schools should not ban tag

and here's why I think that.Reason 1I don't think Schools shouldn't ban tag because it is a good source of exercise and brain movement. In the article “should schools ban tag” Riya Hegde says “no schools should not ban tag because tag is a fun way to get exercise”. He also says “kids also use their brain to make a quick decision in tag”. Telling that tag helps the brain by making a quick decision. He’s Also telling us that it helps our body by running and trying not to get tagged or tagging someone else.Reason 2Another reason is that there is no limit of how many people and how much time there is. In the article “should schools ban tag” Riya Hegde also says “No matter how little amount of time there's always time for a game of tag”. He also says “There is no limit for the amount of people there is”. So he’s telling us that there is no limit for an amount of time. He is also saying that any amount of people can play 2,4,3,even the whole school can play.ConclusionI don't think schools should ban tag, So many people play it and like it and there's no limit for the time or the amount of people. It's also a great source of energy for the brain and body. Tag is an amazing and great game for everyone to play!

Should People Bring in Snacks to the Movie Theater?Have you ever seen the person sitting next to you ate the movie theater just eating chips they got

from their home? Well, many people have done that. They bring in snacks into the movie theater. Do you do the same thing?

The AllergiesLots of people have reasons why they bring in snacks from their home. Some people have allergies

to the food choices at the movie theater. They bring in their snacks from their house. They bring in foods that they would like to eat and they would like to bring in food that they are sure they won’t have an allergic reaction to it. Scholastic news said, “Some kids don’t like the snack choices and others have a special diet because of allergies”. This statement says that some people have a special diet because of the allergy they have.

The Snack ChoicesDo you like the snack choices at your local theater? Some people actually don’t. So then they bring

in the snacks from home that they actually like. Some people might not like the candy or the drinks that the theater sells, so they bring in their own drink and their own candy so they can snack on that. Scholastic News said, “Some kids don’t like the snack choices”. This statement clearly says that people don’t like the snacks at the movies.

The Prices Some people bring in their own snacks from home due to the prices of the snacks. It's mostly the

popcorn that the company sells. People say that the prices of the food are way too expensive and high. Sometimes the tickets are even high. I went to my local movie theater once and the tickets for 4 people is $20. This means that 1 person equal $5! That is a lot of money you have to spend just on one ticket for one person. The popcorn I bought once was about $10 dollars. Now that is not very reasonable. I’d rather buy some microwave popcorn. And speaking of microwave popcorn, Katie Meyer, said on Scholastic News, “At my local theater, a large popcorn costs $7. I can get a big box of microwave popcorn for under $2 at the supermarket”. That is very shocking that a big box of microwave popcorn can cost under $2, but a large popcorn at Katie Meyer’s local theater costs $7.

The WaitingPeople also bring in snacks because of the line. The wait sometimes takes 20-25 minutes. You

might just miss a few minutes of the movie if you have to wait in a line for a long time. Once I had to wait for a very long time because of how long the line is. Scholastic News said, “Also, the lines are so long at snack stands”. Scholastic News also said,” I don’t want to miss the movie while waiting in line”. This statement shows that it does take a long time to get snacks, popcorn, and drinks.

So, would you ever sneak snacks into a movie theater? Or would you just wait in line to get your snacks? What would you do?

By Maheen

Have you ever went to the movies and see someone with food from home? If so that should be a good idea. I think that because you might have special food diets or even allergies. Candy sold at theatres is three times the price at stores places. Also, people said that the theatre makes the prices for the candy and popcorn. My reasons for my opinion is that people pay 3 times as much in stores. And, some people might not like that brand or their parents don’t approve of the brand. Also, the main part of movies is to enjoy it and have a comfortable time. Even people might not trust the food from the past. They might sell things like butter and people might be allergic to eggs or milk which is in butter.

Also, you have the right to say no because once they wanted to check my bag in case there was candy. But my mom and I said no since its personal property. And, the declaration of independence states that we can say no to personal property. And it took me about 20 minutes to wait for my turn for popcorn.I was sad since I had only about 40 minutes left to watch the movie before it ended.

When it was our turn to pay for our food it was $5.00 When I can just make it at home for even less.My brother went to a different cinema and at that time the popcorn cost $7.oo plus tax. You can also wait for about 2 months for it to be on Redbox. Do you think it’s a good idea?

Do you play tag at recess? I do, and I have never gotten hurt. They should not ban tag. Only a few kids get hurt and it is their fault. They need to have precautions. They should be careful. They should not have to ban tag.

Tag is very good for exercise. You run and chase and spin and jump, and then you keep on running your hardest “ Which is important because every 1 out of 6 U.S. kids are overweight”. Also If you play a game like man on woodchips than all you do is climb a little bit and hope you don’t get tagged which is basically no moving.

If there was no tag kids would probably play man on woodchips which means they can fall and get even more hurt without knowing cause your eyes are closed but in tag you can avoid things like that. Or maybe they will go play soccer or two hand touch football. Two hand touch football can be a little more than just a touch, it can be a push which has you falling to the ground and hurts. In soccer someone has to be goalie and the ball might hit there face and they could break a nose. Also “Children fall, and it’s part of learning”

Tag should not be banned because it is very good exercise and if there was no tag kids will get even more hurt. Also tag is good for the brain and helps it make quick decisions. Tag is a good game and it should not be banned.

You should be able to bring snacks to the movie theatersImagine you are at the theater and you want some candy but they don't sell it.

Or you want some pizza but it is overpriced. Then people are forced to bring in their own food because it is cheaper or the theater does not sell the food that customers have. Or people that have allergies depending on what they are allergic to could possibly die or get really really sick.

My opinion is that you should be able to bring in snacks from home.Because lots of people don't have the money to buy overpriced food when they can get the exact food at the store for five times less. Plus you go to the movies to worry about the movie not whether or not to spend lots of money on overpriced food.

One reason is for starters some kids don't have a lot of money to spend on food at the movie theaters. ‘’Most Moviegoers who sneak snacks into the theaters want to avoid paying the high prices at concession stands’’. Plus lots of people will buy more food if it is cheaper and not so overpriced, so since theaters make food so overpriced fewer and fewer people want to buy food. Plus movie tickets are expensive enough as it is, and if the food is really expensive and the tickets are really expensive people will have to bring in food to save money. Plus some people only have the money at the movies for the tickets, but what if they are hungry? They will have no money to spend on food so they might leave to go back home to eat. But if they are able to bring in their own food they can stay and watch the movie.

Another reason is kids have allergies to some food that theaters might sell so it isn't fair to them because they won't be able to eat any of the food. ‘’Some kids don't like the snack choices at theaters, and others have special diets because of allergies’’. And movie theaters are for watching movies mostly and they should worry more about ticket prices then whether or not people bring in food. Plus some people are on special and specific diets and if the food that theaters has off their diet one tiny bit they might get really mad. And they might never go back to that movie theater or any movie theater ever again. And that would be bad business for any and all movie theaters. Because the person that got upset might tell people on diets don't go to this movie theater or any movie theater.

In conclusion, kids should be able to bring in snacks to the movies. Because the food can be overpriced or kids have allergies to that type of food. Or kids don't want to wait a long time in lines for food and then miss the movie. So if movies don't start making food a lot less cheaper people will just go for the movie or not even come at all.

Have you ever snuck food into a movie theater? I don’t know why movie theaters make you buy more expensive stuff there instead of buying it cheaper at like Walgreens or something. So I think you should be able to sneak food into theaters. My first reason is that ”Candy sold at theaters cost up to three times as many it does in stores. And that is horrible people can go to a movie with a big crowd and then they pay way more than they would pay at a store. Then people got to share one thing of pretzels and popcorn so they don’t waste all of their money. Also the for candy drinks and popcorn that will cost about $20 and that’s a lot of money for food at a movie theater.

Did you know that movie theaters make most of their money off of concession stand money? The movie costs a lot but plot twist, the most money comes from concessions and food. It’s crazy movies cost a lot of money think about it……….. Did you think about it? Good and concessions beat them wow.

In conclusion, you can sneak snacks into the movies if you don’t want to spend so much money. Also you already have spent a lot on the actual movie so you don't want to spend more money than the movie.

Why tag should not be banned Do you think tag should be banned? I think so. Tag should not be banned. There are many reasons why tag should not be banned. If you think tag should be banned you should not read this

I don't think tag should not be banned because if the equipment is banned, people can play without anything. They only play with their hands. Also, they run and a lot of kids and teens are overweight. They can lose weight. Tag makes your legs stronger and it is fun. In tag people, can't get excluded because tag has unlimited players. So nobody will not be able to play. In the article, it says “Plus there is no limit to the number of players, so no one has to be left out on the fun”. Tag is not the only game you can play with just hands. You can play sharks and minnows which is similar to tag but more people. In tag, people can learn to make quick decisions so they don't get tagged. It could even help in the real world. Even though people could get hurt but usually schools have nurses to help kids feel better if injured. Also, tag helps retreat from predators to stay safe

I think tag should not be banned. If tag at your school is banned, tell your teachers or principals these reasons why tag should not be banned. I hoped you think that tag should not be banned.

By Om

Have you ever snuck a drink or a meal into a movie theater? Many movies don’t allow outside food and beverages.

First, I think you should be able to bring water and snacks from home. Movies theaters have overpriced popcorn and water. Candy is 10 dollars when you can buy it for 2 dollars at the store. “Candy sold at movies are 3 times as much worth than stores.” Some movies don’t get much customer to buy snacks because of the overpriced things.

Second of all, Many theaters are hurting their bunniness with there overpriced and no outside food and drinks. That can cause them to go bankrupt sometimes and get their fame down. They are already making money off tickets to see the movie. “Sneaking snacks into movies hurt the theaters business.”

Now you know what sneaking snacks can do.

By Oscar

I think that you should be able to sneak snacks into the movie theater because if you don't have enough variety also it's way more expensive than at the market. there are still more reasons why you should be able to bring snacks into the theater and you'll find out in this article.

Reason number one why you should be able to bring snacks in the theater. When you go to the theater you look for snacks if they don't have the snack you want you to be upset and plus it's way more expensive than at the market. If they don't have what you want, you're not going to have a snack and plus the market has Beverages and popcorn. That's all cheaper than what you can get at the movie theater you can get popcorn for $7 well at the market you can get like 7 packs for $2 microwavable what you can do at home and plus you can watch a movie at home.

You're paying for stuff you could get for cheaper you're doing it just for food you can get cheaper food with more sugar and variety. You can do whatever you want with your money but I wouldn't waste It On movie theater candy. Movie theater candy is too much but when you have candy from home candy that you want you can get more you can get better quality better food popcorn's even more expensive for something bigger at the movie at the store and at the movie it's smaller.

By Reese

hy should people bring their own snacks to moviesDo you think you should bring your own candy to movies I do.My first reason is about how much money it cost. The price at moves are 3 times as much money as the stores. The price at the movies is about $7.00 and the price at the sores are under $2.00 for candy. That is a big difference.

My second reason is the line at the movies are usually so long. If you go in the candy line at the movies the line would be long so you can be late for the movie and miss like a quarter of the movie. Those are 2 reasons why you should be able to bring your own snacks to movies.

By Tristan

Have you ever thought about bringing food into a movie theater even know your not allowed to? Well i think that you should be allowed to bring candy and drinks to the theaters because people don't have a lot of money, and the items are overpriced

First off, in theaters the items are overpriced because they want to make money. The price of candy is from $3.99 - $4.49. People not happy about the prices at the theaters. In the text it said “it is three times the amount of money you buy at the store”. Also it ruins their business.

Secondly, people who go to the movies might not have a lot of money because they spend it on popcorn and movies seats. Popcorn is about $10 and a movie seat is about $15. If you add the candy to that it will be about $30 for everyone to get popcorn, candy, and a movie seat.

All in all, I think that you should be able to sneak in candy in the movies, because, people might not have a lot of money to buy the candy , and the candy is overpriced.

By Vito

Do you like paying money for snacks at the movie theater? Well I don't The snacks cost too much and you have to wait in line so it does not pay buying the snacks. Then what if they do not have the snack you what you will not get a snack.

And also if you do not like any snacks they have you can sink your own snack into the movie theater. Next, if you have allergies you also can not have the snacks and you will have to bring your own.

Sometimes you will not like when you eat the popcorn and the movie is over and you have half of it left and then you spent all that money and now you have to throw the popcorn away.Also if you by candy and you get a tummy ache. Sometimes the snacks are overpriced and caused too much.

If you buy the popcorn in the movie theater you can buy popcorn for 2 dollars at the store.And the popcorn at the movies cost 7 dollars and microwave popcorn cost 2 dollars. That is how you can save your money you buy popcorn at the store.You can also save your money for the drinks buy buying them.

By Weronika

Have you ever played tag? I have, and I don’t like it. Tag has many problems. It can make people injured and even people who are not playing can get injured. I am going to tell you why schools should ban tag.

People get injured a lot when they play tag. Also, some students walking around can get hurt because they are at full speed trying to tag someone.” school is not the best place to play tag there are many other people there”. Also, you can hurt someone you are trying to tag because if you are sprinting towards them and they stop you will crash into them and get you both hurt.

If they ban tag it will prevent injuries. In a school in North Carolina, they banned tag and there were much fewer injuries. “The new rule had been preventing injuries.” If they ban tag the playground will also be safer than it was with tag.

All in all, I think that schools should ban tag. The article said that tag should be banned. People have banned it all over America because it is dangerous. That is why tag should be banned.
