I wonder if it would work? I used to never allow the students to chew gum in class. I was pretty hard on them if they chewed gum.

I say that about chewing gum wondering if its also possible to give in a little to new devices and use them in class as long as the students don't abuse the privilege. So lets see. Any students or adults want to comment.
