Oh my gosh, Chewing gum in school is a pain! Just not for testing!I think schools should not allow gum in class because its a huge mess, it distracts students and its not good for public speaking! This is important because you might not know what kids do with gum at school! Also it’s not fun to clean up all of that gum!
The first reason why gum should not be allowed at school is because its a mess! Imagine you were at school and you saw some random kid blowing bubbles,then the random kid blew a huge bubble and it popped and got in his/her hair. She grabbed a pair of scissors and ruined his/her hair!A lot of students don’t throw away gum wrappers so it makes the class a mess.Every once and a while teachers get sick and tired of a bunch of garbage in class!Gum sticks to a lot of things like your shoe!If you step on sticky gum sometimes it wont get off of your shoe!
The second reason is that gum is distracting to other students!For example,blowing bubbles are pretty loud! When students blow bubbles almost all you hear is snap,fizz,pop then laughing! When students chew gum all you hear is CHOMP CHOMP CLACK CLACK! Sometimes students don’t chew with their mouth closed! Imagine everybody was chewing gum in class and you had no gum! Then you just started to work and then all of a sudden, the classroom felt like it was built out of noise! You couldn’t focus and you told the teacher,then you saw her/him chewing gum!That would be so annoying!
The third reason is that gum is bad for public speaking!For example,imagine you had an assignment and you had to wright a 150 word paragraphs about George Washington and say it to 2 whole classes including yours! You spent 2 hours writing the paragraph! Next thing that happened was that you finished!You started to think of what to do when you get tired of speaking all of those long sentences!You decided to chew gum while speaking. 3 long days later you had to speak the extremely long paragraphs in front of 2 classes!It was time!You spoke a lot of words then stuffed your chewing gum into your cheek so the teacher didn’t find out then everybody started laughing! You started to think why they were laughing!So you started thinking,you couldn’t come up with anything so you yelled,”Why is everybody laughing?” Some other kid that wasn’t in your class said,” We are laughing because you have something in your cheek and it looks like you have 1 chubby cheek and the other side isn’t chubby! “Then you started to finish talking since you had gum in your mouth it started to muffle the voice. And everybody laughed again.You had 9 sentences left and you wanted to finish cause you were embarrassed.Then you kept reading and you said all the words fast so you had to take a break and then finish!
This shows that gum is a mess,a distraction and it’s not good for public speaking.
