__**Should Chewing Gum Be Allowed In School? by Victor**__

Are you bored when you are in school? Do you desire to chew gum to pass time? Scientific studies shows that gum has health benefits. So next time you pop a stick of gum in your mouth, think of the health advantages. I strongly believe gum should be allowed in school. You may consider gum a mess to clean.

However, the health rewards of gum make up for their unpleasant reputation. According to researchers in England, chewing gum can improve memory. And gum can actually help kids do more efficient in school. Also scientific studies revealed that when volunteers took tests, those who chewed gum received a better test score than those who didn't.

In addition, Wrigley's medical studies displayed a majority of benefits for chewing gum. One included dental health, and, when students miss school in the morning, it is usually because of a dentist appointment. If students chewed gum, students wouldn't miss school in the morning that often. Another one included stress relief. Some students may be stressed, and chewing gum can relieve stress in school and helps the the students stay more focused in class.

Furthermore, the New England journal of medicine states that chewing gum in school can aid in reducing weight. Something overweight students can look up to. In addition gum makers are creating new types of gum products that can assist with physical illnesses treatments, which means that students will stop missing school work. And gum can be an alternative to dietary supplements, which means students will not need anymore specific diet plans.

At the same time, chewing gum can improve concentration and like I said, can have health advantages. Concentration in school is important ,and gum has been known to help and achieve concentration. And chewing gum has been known to assist with focus. So students will be more focused in class when there is a lesson or the teacher is demonstrating an lesson.

In the same way, the article  How Stuff Works: How Gum Works quotes that moving our jaws up and down actually makes people feel better. And for students who are feeling unfortunate or mad, chewing gum can improve school work and can make it easier for students to relax. Additionally research has shown that chewing gum has been known to aid with memory recall. So next time there is a test or assignment pop a stick of gum in your mouth.

In summary, my opinion of chewing gum in school is that it should be allowed in school. In order to get my thesis out there, people can help me. They can write a letter to the principal of the school, or maybe even talk to the principal themselves. So even if gum is a mess to clean, gum has it profits from memory to dental health. You can make a difference.
