+355 If teachers realized how much more productive children have been proven to be when chewing gum, they would allow it, amirite?

But manners are not taught anymore, so the loud and obnoxious chewing and/or bubble popping is distracting to all the other students. I know it's soooo distracting to me.

Kids are too loud and they stick gum where it shouldn't be.

That's true, but there are strong valid points on both end of the gum argument. It's allowed at my district's high school, tho.

And that's the reason why it's allowed at my school.

What the fuck is the big deal about the gum argument? It's not like it's the end of the world because you can't chew gum for a few hours.

My school does, we're allowed, and we just had somebody get a 36 on the ACT for the third year running.

I go to a school where gum is allowed. It's not that big of a deal.

My teacher last year would give us gum when we had a test or quiz because he said it improved blood flow to the head, thus increasing brain function.
