Students at elementary school Parkskolan in Älvsbyn, a small town in northern Sweden, chew gum in class, supported by studies that show gum chewing increases concentration and study results.
The National Union of Teachers in Sweden (Lärarnas riksförbund) are not impressed, however, and call the decision to allow classroom chewing "offensive" to teachers, according to a report in newspaper Aftonbladet.
The school allows chewing gum in certain middle school classrooms, and the permit is dependent on both students' and parents' approval. Only sugar-free gum is permitted.
The school claims the gum improves students' performance in school. Full story...
