Very simple. Every student should have just said NO.

I suspect most if not all did say NO.

"I suspect most if not all did say NO."

The WaPo article said 18 students chewed the same piece at one school. No details on how many chewed the same piece at the three other schools. I don't know who's more stupid, the students who chewed the gum or the teachers who allowed it to happen.

I've homeschooled for many years now. Years ago I used to get the occasional negative comment about it. Not anymore. The most common question I get asked these days when people find out I homeschool is, "Will you teach my kids, too?"

I hope so....I don't allow gum in my house lol. I remember the days of getting caught chewing gum in school and having the gum stuck to your nose. ~~P~~
