As a choice matter.

Oh my God, it's just chewing gum. It isn't going to hurt anybody. And besides, we're allowed to in high school, anyway... =\

Chewing gum is proven to show that it enhances your ability to think and learn. Some of my teachers let their students chew gum for tests and such.

If someones chewing gum next to me, I wouldn't be able to properly focus on the subject. It's distracting and disrespectful to others.

I sat next to a girl for a whole semester who chewed gum loudly and vigorously. She would even take it out of her mouth and twirl it around. She drove me crazy with her constant smacking and cud-chewing.

People who know how to chew gum and dispose of it properly should have that option. If your teacher can tell you're chewing gum, you aren't doing it correctly.

When children learn to dispose of it in a garbage can. On the other hand if children could chew gum maybe they would dispose of it in the trash can. It is interesting that the schools pass out gum when big tests are happening.....

Sorry, but gum is just a distraction that ends up under desks, under chairs, etc. Not only that, but chewing something constantly can wear out your mouth.

When you become responsible enough to realize that chewing gum at school is not an issue worth debating, you will be mature enough to chew it in class.

It's distracting, the disposal of it is sometimes unsanitary, and bullies can use it on seats or in hair as a tool for tormenting.

Chewing gum makes you look dumb, especially if you keep your mouth open while doing it.

It's disruptive, why do you think it is banned? For the good of the class certain behaviours must be outlawed. Since when did we let schoolchildren decide their circumstances anyway?

 I don't think it's disruptive unless people make noises with it. It should most certainly be up to children (UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES!) to choose how they learn if they can be trusted.
