Just recently it has started to become a major problem in the gym because the teachers are finding new gum stuck to the gym floor everyday. Each period we have between 100-150 students coming into the gym, and cannot possibly check every one to see if they have gum. What are some ways that we could better prevent students from chewing gum? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would let the students know that 10 minutes before class was over you were going to do a gum check on the floor, and if you find any, then they would do laps that last five minutes of class. Majority of students do not like doing laps, and you will probably even see a few students looking around with you to try and get it up before you see it.
