Silly Banz being banned from schools ARE THEY SERIOUS?

Tweet

I was watching the news last night and i saw that there are a few schools banning Silly Banz from school because they are a big distraction & that kids are swapping them causing them not to pay attention. I think that this is a ridiculous ban. i have 3 children 1 of which is in grade school and all three of them LOVE silly banz! there were even mothers on t.v agreeing that they were a distraction. Why are these any different from new bracelets, or mood rings, or cool earrings, friendship bracelets, halloween designed rings, new pencils with different designs, pokemon cards??? I know that if there are girls in school that get those bangled bracelets they all gotta get them and then they all trade them in class and on the bus. Friendship bracelets SAME thing!! If they are going to ban Silly Banz i think they should ban ALL distractive jewelery, and if they ban ALL distractive jewelery then i think they should ban ALL jewelery INCLUDING teachers and staff.. what is it with the school system trying to make school boring??? school should be a fun enivorment, kids will wanna learn if they are having a good time. its the kids that are bored that fail classes i think. When i was in a class and i was enjoying it i usually came out with a good grade, the ones were i was bored were the ones i failed. Silly Banz are just this years new thing, what the hay are they gonna ban next??!??! Seriously!! they are RUBBER BANDS with SHAPES.. RUBBER BANDS.. If my daughter cant have her RUBBER BAND bracelet then i think that ALL Rubber bands in school should be banned as well!!
