Chewing Gum In Schools
Do you like chewing gum? Many people do, but they can’t because their school or classroom doesn’t allow it. I think schools should allow students to chew gum.

The first reason, I think this is because it helps students focus and improves memory. Studies show students who chew gum during tests do 26% to 36% better than students who don’t chew gum. If chewing gum can improve memory it can help students remember what they learned in class and what class work needs to get done. It also improves wakefulness, so it will help students to stay alert, awake, and concentrated on their work.

The next reason, I believe gum should be aloud in class is it combats stress, anxiety, and protects teeth. It helps with stress and anxiety, so
