text: Con: chewing gum in class is disturbing due to those who cannot chew it quietly. I personally can`t stand to hear smacking and cracking of someone chewing gum. It will create distraction in others causing the inability to study and take a test.\nPro: chewing gum quietly can lessen stress and actually burn calories, and if you chew sugarless gum, will clean the teeth.\nThe analysis: Gum chewing should not be allowed in school as there are far more reasons against than for.
