We make a "little" survey about how many kids have chew gum at school and how does the teachers have punish them, and the funny thing is that this rule doesn't exist in the "manual de convivencia", if you want to prove this go to our LOI 2 and you will see that this rule is a lie. or lets better put it on this page so you can see... The worst thing of this problem is that there's a rule that provides to interrupt classes and the boys now a days interrupt every minute! And they have not being punish the same us the chewing gum problem...



Summaries:

We interview many teachers in primary and pre primary talking about that on inset days we knew they give them us a snack cupcakes, chocolate cakes, other flavor cakes, etc. And we notice that more than the half (27) of the teachers say they DON'T like when they give them those type of snacks saying the following reasons:


 * 1) The sweets is not good in the morning.
 * 2) I don't like sweets.
 * 3) The sweets make me put angry.
 * 4) the sweets in the morning make me tired at the end of the day.
 * 5) I'll rather take something more salted.
 * 6) Its depends on the weather (x2)
 * 7) sweets make me fatter.

And the minor of the teacher (10) say that they like the cupcakes, and all of that they give them but if they will choose they will prefer other type of things just like:


 * 1) Lulada.
 * 2) Salpicon
 * 3) Empanadas con aji
 * 4) empanadas de pollo
 * 5) pastelitos la locura
 * 6) a fruit salad.
 * 7) natural juice.
 * 8) fruits.
 * 9) vegetables.
 * 10) nuts.

This means that teachers are really eating does things with out liking them, so this is the perspective form teachers and I'm with them! we are going to talk with ms patricia so we can solve this inset days problem.

Interview for teacher in pre- primary and primary

SUMMARY
here, even though you can't see so clear the tally, it shows the 1.name and class of the teacher, 2.if they like/dislike to have candies as a snack in inset days, 3.why/why not?, 4.their ideal snack and 5.why? we can see clearly that the red/green marks show what the teachers think about the second question. the majority of them said they dislike it.

A TRUE STORY... Another problem in the school community is the following: SHOOL FIGTHS (are the ones that in the cafeteria or other places people take the food (or candies) and start throwing them form one to each other) I had an experience with this problem actually at home. On halloween this year att my new house were making the halloween party and I invited some friends that live neer to me, and we met with a friend of my building, after making trick or trick we diced to go home and we showed each other the amount of candies each one had. when we finally finished we eat some of them and my CRAZY friends started to become overactive and throw candies to each other! like if it was "A war of candie" or a " Candy fight )... at the next day many of them were mad with each other... (LMS)

SUMMARY OF MY STORY: This type of fights are out side school but when someone fight with another and they meet in school again is where all the problems start to take place in the child's life, is very serious because it could leads to bullying at school, because when to little kids start fighting the mostly of the times exaggerate and start to talk with other kids bad of him and it leads to bullying that's why a simple candy fight can be very serious, and in an emergency to be changed.

Originally, Escutia (D-Whittier) wanted limits on fatty, sugary foods sold in elementary and middle schools by 2004. But after her so-called junk food bill, SB 19, appeared headed for the governmental trash bin, the senator agreed to water down her legislation.

On Tuesday, the Assembly Health Committee approved a version that would ban the sale of all junk food and sodas at elementary schools, while placing limits on the sale of carbonated drinks at middle schools. The bill is scheduled for a hearing Wednesday in the Assembly Education Committee.

"We continue to feel that the health of our young people is at risk because of the eating environment at our schools," Escutia said. "This might be a bill that takes a few years to get passed, but I'm very persistent. . . . I will remove junk foods from schools in the next four years."

It won't be easy. Escutia's list of opponents reads like a concessionaire's menu at a movie theater. Jelly Belly Candy, Hershey Foods, Pepsi-Cola, Ouaker Oats and others have lined up against the legislation. The chocolate industry hired a lobbyist to register a complaint against the bill, which would regulate foods sold in vending machines and snack bars and even in student bake sales.

Although Escutia anticipated that the snack food industry would fight the bill, she was dismayed to find that a number of school districts were also seeking its defeat. Some educators say the bill will cost their schools lucrative contracts with soda companies and candy distributors, which pay thousands of dollars each year for the right to sell their goods on campuses.

"It has nothing to do with health and it has everything to do with money," Escutia said.

According to estimates of a vending industry trade magazine, schools across the country generate more than $750 million in annual sales from snack and beverage machines. Recently, the Sweetwater Union High School District in Chula Vista signed an exclusive deal with Pepsi that is expected to bring at least $4.45 million to its 20 schools over the next 10 years--money that will help pay for library books, intramural sports and school-to-career programs.

"The state in the 1980s substantially reduced its support for student activities," said Jim Brown, superintendent of the Glendale Unified School District. As a result, he said, schools had to come up with creative ways to bring in cash. If state lawmakers want to impose restrictions, they should reimburse schools for their loss, said Brown, who estimates that the Glendale district collects "tens of thousands" of dollars each year from vending machine sales.

"That money would have to be made up some way," said Brown, whose district is on record opposing an earlier version of Escutia's bill.

SUMMARY
what this article say is that this school changed the menu of their cafeteria lunch not jus because health but because the money. schools generate more than $750 million in annual sales from snack and beverage machines. the sweet water union high school district signed a deal with pepsi that they expect to bring $4.45 million or more to its 20 schools in the next 10 years. this money will be use to buy books, intramural sports and school career programs. This means that sweets are becoming also a problem with economy at the USA...

Gum has not been allowed in school for an extremely long time. Today some school districts prohibit gum chewing altogether, others leave it up to the discretion of individual teachers. If school does not have a policy against gum chewing, then chewing depends of the teachers. Teachers have differing views about whether students should be allowed to chew gum in school. Some believe that gum chewing is the nastiest habit in the world, it can impede the learning process, and gum chewing can be noisy and distracting to other students. They contend that dried gum always finish under tables, or on flours. Teachers can respond to gum chewers in a way that is minimally disruptive to the class, but not all teachers are so tolerant. Most of the teachers' time is spent on discipline issues, which includes gum chewing. Teachers think it is a waste of theirs' valuable time and gum does not belong in school. Others teachers make their own rules. They allow gum chewing as long as it doesn't interfere with their ability to teach or students' ability to concentrate. If student sticks gum under his desk, they make him remove it. That is "no noise" and "no mess" policy. Today it is not uncommon thinking that gum chewing in class isn't a big deal. But many people want to chew gum at school. They the undersigned believe that gum should be allowed in school. There were so many petitions for "Allow Chewing Gum In School". They contend that gum helps in many ways and that privilege also should not be taken away from students. Preliminary research suggests that regular chewing can help you remember names, make you thinner, whiten teeth, etc. Teachers may outlaw chewing gum in class, but chewing gum in class makes kids smarter. How could that be? Chewing causes our hearts to pump more blood to our brain than it usually does. More blood carries noggin-nourishing oxygen and that will help brain function better. It also increases the glucose level, making the student more alert. The rhythmic chewing also increases attention. Mental tasks are done 20% more effectively while chewing gum and that's why it makes students "smarter". Chewing should be allowed especially during big tests. Kids who chew gum during tests do 26% to 36% better. Chewing gum soothes students’ minds, so they can learn more in school. When gum is brought to school it helps clean your teeth after your lunch time. Gum can also make their jaws stronger. Some types of gum can make teeth stronger. One line of research suggests that chewing gum can lead to better academic performance. Teachers anecdotally found that students who chewed gum required fewer breaks, paid better attention and stayed quiet longer than those who did not. Chewing gum makes memory better, but what about the mess under tables and chairs? Maybe, if students didn’t have to hide gum chewing they would dispose of it properly. That all could be reasons to look at the positive things about having gum at school.

SUMMARY
ISABELLA OSORIO 29 MAY 2012 This article is about chewing gum. it's shown the two points of view of chewing gum. This generates conflicts because teachers and students are in a fight for long time ago, CHEWING GUM IN SCHOOL. Kids want to chew gum because they like it and it has positive effects on people. students have to hide from teachers when chewing gum, and when they catch you chewing gum they give you a punishment and the two of them have a bad relationship. besides, more than the half of the students don't know why they cant chew gum. so they are punishing us for something that first: don't appear on the manual de convivencia (faltas leves and graves) and second that we don't have any idea why we can't do it. moreover, chewing gum is good because the reasons highlighted above in the text.

We noticed that on the"manual de convivencia 2011-2012" doesn't appears the rule of not chewing gum, but also we noticed that a minor offenses is to interrupt a school activity, but the teachers each time that interrupt doesn't pay the attention necessary but yes, when some is chewing gum is like if that person was making a CRIME! here is the evidence:

Take a look on the following video in a step it says that paint the box were you buy them so nobody see you, this means that you are making the wrong think if schools say is a very serious fault.

media type="youtube" key="Fk9MqjZdrjM" width="425" height="350" This video shows that this girl is breaking the rules, she is selling things at school! and guess what she was selling CANDIES... this means that kids will like to make the same and that makes kids grow up with a rebellion way of living. and could cause many conflicts in the society...

Mr Ben told us that teachers who come in inset days when students don't come they give teachers chocolate cake and coke (coca-cola) however that is not what teachers really want to because they are not kids who want always sweet, besides the want to be healthful and have a good diet, not after running a kilometer having a chocolate cake and everything will be spoiled.

Also, according with what we've seen all our years in primary teachers from all grades reward as with a delicious chocolate... why? it dosen't need to be necessarily a candy, or even worst, a bubble gum we can't chew it right? then why do you give it to us? that really tempt kids to eat it not only a bubble gum, any candy.

If we shouldn't eat bubble gum why we could eat lollipops, or cakes, brownies, candies, etc? well that's a problem the school is having because when we are chewing gum you will have consequences, and kids sometimes get mad when they have because teachers say it out loud and they start with INTIMIDATION... A problem is happening here in the school community is REWARDING this means when someone a teacher or a student try to take someones advantage and saying them things such us the followings...  Mr. ben told us that on inset days when they plan the following weeks and kids dont come to school, the teachers have a lunch the school gives,Unfortunately they give ONLY a cake (something sweet) and a coke, but always... so now they are now complaining about this situation, We will make a survey for all primary students and see if they like it or not.
 * Laura Madriñan Serna, Maria Jose Negret 15 may 2012: **

 * the First student that finish with all the correct answers will have this DELICIOUS SWEET.
