Do you chew gum? Have you ever stepped in gum? Last week, our writers explored whether gum should be allowed in schools. We discussed the PROs and CONs of chewing gum, including:
-studies have indicated that chewing mint flavoured gum may help with alertness and fatigue
-some psychologists and teachers believe that gum helps increase focus and reduces anxiety
-gum can be used as a ‘fidget’ for kinetic learners
-gum can be a huge problem in terms of litter and clean-up
-gum is not environmentally friendly since it is made of plastic/rubber like substances
-gum is dangerous because it can be unsanitary and spread illness
