Gum in Class
Imagine...you're thinking about your best friend's party tonight. You're getting off task of your test! Then your teacher hands you a piece of mint gum and suddenly you realize that this test is easy! Then you get it back the next day and BAM! You passed the test! That is what my paper is mainly about...well not exactly that, but it has something to do with it. My main point in this piece is about why we should be allowed to chew gum in school. The topics that I will be mentioning in this essay are about student's grades going up, students concentrating more, and students getting less detention which all have something to do with my topic.

 First, let's talk about student's grades going up. Studies have shown that over 63% of kid's grades increase when they chew gum in school than the average kid who doesn't. Another reason is that more parents would appreciate you. Wouldn't you feel awesome if one of your student's parents called you up and said to you," My child Bobby Billy Joe is getting straight A's in your class! What is your amazing teaching style?" I know I would! Another good reason is more students would pass your class and not fail because of your students getting good test grades.

My next point of this essay is about students concentrating more. Concentrating is a huge reason why we should be able to chew gum in school. You are probably wondering why, so I will tell you why it is important. First, you can get more things done in school. That means if you get more things done in school, that means the less homework you get. You can also get things done faster, so you can have more "Free Time" in class. Those are only three of the many reasons why concentration is a big reason why we should be able to chew gum in class.

My last topic is students getting and teachers giving less detention in school. Teachers spend most of their time giving out detention slips mostly because of gum right? Well, that would not happen if you let us chew gum in school now would it? Also, giving us less detention would save a lot of money because you wouldn't have to pay the janitor or teachers to come in extra early in the morning. Speaking of teachers, another reason on this topic has to do with teachers and it is that if teachers wouldn't have to deal with students at detention, I bet they would be willing to do more things for the school. Don't you think so because I sure do!

Ok so now you know why I believe that we should be able to chew gum in school because of these following topics: Students getting better grades, students concentrating more, and students getting less detention. I hope you agree with me on this topic now that you read my piece! Happy chewing!
