One policy I think we should change in school is chewing gum. The idea of chewing gum in class can be sometimes gross and disturbing but I believe that the privilege should not be taken away from students. Studies show that chewing gum soothes students’ minds, so they can learn more in school. When gum is brought to school it helps clean your teeth after your lunch time. Gum can also make their jaws stronger. Some types of gum can make teeth stronger. One line of research suggests that chewing gum can lead to better academic performance. Teachers anecdotally found that students who chewed gum required fewer breaks, paid better attention and stayed quiet longer than those who did not. Chewing gum makes memory better, but what about the mess under tables and chairs? Maybe, if students didn’t have to hide gum chewing they would dispose of it properly.
