When I was in school chewing gum in class was never a distraction to me or anyone else in class. This was recently discussed at a class reunion and all agreed that not a single one of us was ever aware of the person next to them chewing gum until the teacher decided to disrupt the classroom by pointing it out.
During highschool I was behind the movement that put a stop to the ridiculous dress code our school had decided to institute by wearing swastica armbands and sieg-heils to the teachers during roll call. After we finally staged a walkout and refused to return it was finally thrown out yet years later the school appears to have forgotten the incident and has instituted a dress code anyway. We were never preoccupied in class with what our fellow students were wearing. Now too, schools are removing candybars from vending machines in the cafeteria. It was our understanding that a teacher's primary concern was a students education, not their diet or their clothing.
