I have been to school awards assemblies and graduations, and it’s disgusting to see the mouths of the honorees or graduates smacking gum during the programs. It looks tacky and very “unclassy.” When did it become fashionable for people to constantly have something in their mouths? Believe it or not, but I teach school, and gum is not allowed in my classroom. However, it is not our overall school rule, so I have to see gum smacking and bubble blowing in the halls, cafeteria, and other teachers’ classroooms when I am covering for an absent teacher. Also, people are always asking me why I walk around school with my head down. NOOOO, it’s not because I am shy or rude or anti-social. I’m trying to avoid stepping in gum for the umpteenth time. Gum has its place, I suppose, but it is not acceptable everywhere.
