I think gum chewing is a great idea. I wish that you would change the gum chewing policy so that kids can chew gum. Kids have so much work to do they need a break sometimes.
One reason we should chew gum is research shows that kids who chew gum do 25% to 35% better than kids who do not chew gum. Our school could have kids who get the best grades in Anne Arundel County. I even read many aricles about gum and they are not against gum.
Another reason is we have lunch at 12:30 and that’s a late time to have lunch at our age. I read an article and it said that gum makes you less hungry. Then we will not complain about how hungry we are and focus much much better on our work.
Last, if you let us chew gum we will promise to throw it away when we are done. Our class had gum for a week and nobody has found it anywhere but in the trash can. That means 27 kids threw their gum away so I think the rest of the school can do the same. Please write back to us.
I hope you will let us chew gum. If you do we will have an awesome school!!!!!
