Haley Nguyen 6-06 English 5/3/10 We Should Chew Gum In Class I think we should be able to chew gum in class. It has many ups. It would make a lot of students happier and possibly improve the way we behave sometimes. I think it would be fair if you let us chew gum because its our gum and you should trust us not to disrespect the school property because in Mrs. Castagna's class we are alowed to chew it and we rarely find gum anywhere but in our mouths, and the trash.

I think we should be able to chew gum in class because it is refreshing. When I say refreshing I mean it hydrates our mouths so we don’t have to get up and get a drink every minute, because everyone knows that gets annoying. As our mouths are refreshed, so are our minds, our minds are refreshed because the mouth is minty or some kind of flavor we enjoy. And if it is minty, it is proven to make us smarter.

When kids of all age groups are conferrable where they sit or stand they can concentrate better, we should be aloud to chew gum in class because it makes us feel superior to other classes. By thinking were better or above someone. When we chew gum, we will chew with our mouths closed so there would be less talking. Also, since our mouths are refreshed, and our minds are too, we can concentrate better and by concentrating better you can teach more in a smaller time frame.

Chewing gum is harmless. If kids abuse this you have the right to take it away. We don’t like rules so don’t make it one. Chewing gum does not physically hurt someone. As kids we know that breaking rules is not good. So why not make that not a rule so we don’t get a chance to break it. Also, it could benefit you, if you want a piece, I’m sure a student will give you some. Then we will all be happy. I think that we should be aloud to chew gum in class. We need to be able to chew gum in class. Our gum is our gum. You shouldn’t take that away from us kids.
