Imagine your teacher is teaching a very important lesson that’ll for sure be on the final coming up. But you don’t understand it because he/she is going over the lesson too fast. So you slowly raise your hand for help, knowing you’re going to regret it. As the teacher walks slowly to you talking, all the other kids cover their nose because of the horrible stench. You hear one of your classmates whisper to another classmate “How long do you think [he/she] will last till [he/she] passes out trying to hold in their breath?”. Then the horrendous aroma hits the little hairs in your nose and you slowly turn green, almost throwing up in your mouth. You can’t take the smell anymore so you just scream with the last clean air in your body “MAY I GO TO THE BATHROOM!”. Your teacher smiles and says “Of course you can”, then you book it to the restroom to throw up. Still smelling the stench of your teacher’s breath from down the hall. Not being in class leads to you not learning the topic, will ultimately lead to you failing your final. Which could’ve all been avoided if your teacher had the option of being able to chew gum right before the class started. 

One reason teachers suffer through SBP is because they don’t notice how bad their own breath stinks. Teachers get caught up teaching and trying to help every kid out, that their personal hygiene isn’t really a priority at the time. So the teacher’s don’t have to be ashamed for doing their job, it’s not their fault that they aren’t supplied with gum that’ll help them. Another reason teachers have SBP is because of what they eat. Drinking coffee and eating lunch everyday leads to having a SBP since teachers tend to be in a rush. Most teachers drink coffee on the way to school so they can’t brush their teeth. Also teachers only get 35 minutes of lunch, most of it is wasted trying to heat up their food. So the little time they get on their break isn’t enough for personal hygiene. The only way they can take care of themselves is by chewing gum, since you don’t need to brush your teeth, you don’t need a sink to spit out the mouthwash. All you’ll need to do is put the stick of gum in your mouth and carry on with your day.
