Why Chewing Gum Should be Allowed in Class

Many students all over the world get in trouble for chewing gum in class, and I am one of them. I really hate when I get caught chewing gum, have you ever got in trouble for chewing gum in class?

The first reason why students should be able to chew gum in class is that it will help you focus. I know what you’re thinking “how do you know that?” Well, studies have shown that chewing gum in school actually help kids stay focussed and can help with memory.

The second reason why we should be able to chew gum in class is that it will solve the problem of bad breath. If there is a student in a class that never has time to brush their teeth in the morning at least they can have good breath. They just need a mint pack of gum and chew a piece for the first period and they will have minty breath. When he or she has group work their partners don't have to lean away because of their bad breath. They will never have to deal with bad breath again

The third reason why students should be able to chew gum in class is that it's fun. It's so delicious when you chew on a piece of your favourite gum and the smell of the gum is so nice. You would also get your work done a lot quicker. At this point you may be thinking won’t they just make a mess. Students tend to stick gum under the desk and on floors to just get rid of it , but when gum becomes legal everything changes. Students only do this because they’re not allowed to have gum, They’re afraid that if they went to go up and throw it in the trash can then they would get caught by the teacher and get in trouble. 

So, if gum was allowed in classrooms then students wouldn’t be putting their gum under their desks for fear of being caught. They would get up and throw it way like they're supposed to. But if students were still putting gum under the desk anyone who gets caught will has to get a punishment. Their punishment would be scrapping all the gum off the desks and the floor. Just like when student get caught for having their phone at class, teachers would take their phones for the rest of the day.

As you can see, it would be a good idea to allow students to chew gum in class. Chewing gum in class helps with focus, it will get rid of bad breath and it’s fun. Those are just some of the many reasons why students should be able to chew gum in class.
