Why you should not chew gum in the class?

Answer 1

because they can stick it under the desk.

I think they stick it under the desk because they are not allowed to chew it. So maybe if they were allowed, they would dispose of it properly, or maybe not.

Maybe the reason is because it is like other behaviors that people do when they are bored.

Answer 2

Generally, there are two reasons I hear most often when this question is asked.

First is its distraction value. In this regard, I have seen lenience in such rules. Blowing bubbles and "snapping" gum are disruptive and distract from the subject matter.

Second is the janitorial issue. Inevitably, if gum is allowed in a classroom, it ends up in the flooring and under desks and tables. This requires more time and effort on the part of janitors, which can mean that they might need to work overtime to get all the classrooms cleaned up at the end of the day. This means more money required for operating costs by the school board.

Answer 3

Gum has not been allowed in school for an extremely long time. Today some school districts prohibit gum chewing altogether. It keeps you from learning to spell correctly? Gum is not ALLOWED at school, because it has many things WRONG with it-such as it sticking to stuff and causing cavities..... Its not a nice habit anyway-who wants to watch someone chewing? It's also full of nasty ingredients, too. It's very messy. well...you might choke on gum or play around with it or stick it some ones hair. It's considered disrespectful. It makes noise and it makes it appear that you are not paying attention to the teacher. One, chewing and popping gum distracts other learners in the room. Two, there's been a lot of problems of disposing gum.
