Chewing gum makes your heart pump more blood to your brain than usual. Kids should be able to chew gum in school. Gum increases the attention span. It makes kids more alert. Also it makes better academic performance.
If you chew gum your brain will get more blood and it will make you learn easier. Plus, the more blood flow to your brain, the more alert you are. Chewing gum increases your attention span. So, if kids chew gum in school they will pay more attention to their teachers and stay on task.
Chewing gum in class makes kids do anywhere from 26 percent to 36 percent better on test and school work. Chewing gum makes better academic performance in kids. Scientists found that kids who chew gum get better grades than those who don’t.
Chewing gum makes kids and adults have better memory. So kids that chew gum in school will remember stuff like when homework is due, what to bring to class, etc. So if kids could chew gum in school they would remember what textbook they need for their class and stuff like that.
If kids could chew gum in school they would concentrate a lot better than usual. That’s because the rhythmic chewing helps focus on whatever you might be doing.
Some people might argue that if kids chew gum in school they will be distracted by it and they won’t do well on their school work. And teachers disagree because they think that if kids chew gum in school they will stick it on things. But kids who chew gum have better academic performance. Plus, I think kids wouldn’t stick gum to chairs and tables if they didn’t have to hide it.
Kids should be able to chew gum in school because it will increase attention span so kids will stay on task. Also kids will have better memory, academic performance, and it will increase glucose levels which will keep kids on task.
