We are all wondering what it would take for adults to consider changing the rule so that we can chew gum in school. We all agree that it should be a choice and not a rule.
We can see what the problem is.
Sometimes there is gum stuck to places it shouldn’t be. This can be hard work for someone to clean. But, we have a solution. If you are caught sticking it somewhere it shouldn’t be, then you should be responsible for cleaning it yourself.
We really work hard in school. Did you know that chewing gum makes you think better?
That is reason enough for us to stick this yummy tasting, fun treat in our mouths. Who knows? Maybe, we will get better grades on our tests.
Did you also know that gum makes your breath fresh and clean smelling?
That’s right. When you eat food that stays in your mouth, chewing gum helps clean your mouth, chewing gum helps clean your mouth leaving it clean and fresh.
All of these reasons to chew gum make me sure that if adults read this, they will agree that gum is really good in school and should be a part of our day.
