Dear Ms. Amstutz,
Should Bodkin students be allowed to chew gum in school? YES! You should change the policy so that kids can chew gum in school. But there would have to be rules about it.
One reason why we should allow gum in school is research shows that kids do 26% to 36% better on tests! Wow! That’s really good. But I think we should only chew gum on test days.
Another reason is that Mrs. Cheatwood’s class chewed gum for a few days and nobody put it on the walls, desk, or chairs! So I think we should have a two week trial and see how we do. If there is 100 or more pieces of gum on the walls, desks, or chairs, then we can’t have gum in school.
The final reason is that do you know how late 3rd, 4th, and 4th grade eat lunch? Well did you know that gum keeps hunger away? It will also eliminate chewing on hair, fingernails, and pencils. But I think that the teachers should decide if we can chew gum in school.
We would all be very happy if we could chew gum in school. Everyone would think that you would be the best principal ever!!! Please let us chew gum in school! Also can you respond to our notes?
