Silly Bandz: Becoming a Distraction in Schools
Silly Bandz which are basically colorful rubberbands have been banned in schools in the states of New York, Texas, and Massachusetts just to name a few. The reason behind the banning of the silly bandz, is that it is a major distraction when it comes to the students inside the classroom. Some teachers say that sometimes "scuffles ensue" because some of the kids are developing "buyer's remorse" when the silly bandz are sold on school grounds, the editorial states. However, taking away silly bandz won't cause the children to be less distracted; they are kids, they bounce back, they will find something else to obsess over. Yes, kids get into fights but what kid doesn't. Teachers can't just expect a kid not to be distracted, it happens naturally. Just like the text states, there have been many fads that have came and gone such as pokemon, and cabbage patch kids; so whose to say the removal of this fad will decrease daydreaming about the next time that a child will get to buy the next fad waiting to happen.
