[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 268791, member: 135"] There was just something on the news this week that somebody did a study and found out that chewing gum at school improved kids' performance. I don't remember the details but it sounded interesting. When I was a teacher I had a rule in my class that you were allowed to chew gum as long as I couldn't see it or hear it (no smacking, no popping, etc.) I am right brained myself and the idea of watching every kid to see if I could catch them chewing gum was beyond my ability. It would never even occur to me on most days and I don't see what it hurts, as long as it does not find its way onto the furniture, etc. and that usually only happens when it is not allowed and kids are tryng to hide it. Isn't it funny what we make big deals about when we should be teaching instead? [/QUOTE]
