A PROBLEMATIC SITUATION

(by Rodríguez, Blanco, Arnijas and Aparicio)

At the moment the headmaster and the preceptors don´t allow us to buy nothing in the kiosk when the break is over.

This is terrible because the break is very short and all the students are hungry and the person who works in the kiosk is very slow.

Please we need a solution!
