[quote=Anonymous]OP, your daughter is not doing anything unusual. I teach in a high school and maybe half the kids in every of my classes are fidgety and do chew on their pens. The harder the subject eg math, the more pen chewers there are! Peer acceptance happens too! : If they are paired with pen chewers, the non pen chewers will sometimes become pen chewers too. Or it can go the other way around. As for spit and hygiene. There is absolutely no hygiene! My students chew the shared pens on my desk and the next day another kid will happily chew on it too. There’s spit sometimes in the barrel when I pick up pens left on desks etc and it’s gross. Then are also pen explosions in class like what your daughter went through. Everyone laughs and then moves on. So it’s not like it’s a big deal to the kids. [/quote]
