Silly Bandz: So Cool, They're Banned (VIDEO)
What Are Silly Bandz?
These silicone rubber bracelets come in shapes that appeal to kids, including pets, zoo animals, letters of the alphabet, princess and rockbandz. They look small, but stretch onto the wrist to be worn as bracelets, and they bounce back into their original shape when removed.
Why are Silly Bandz Banned?
Silly Bandz are causing too much noise (you know, that fun snapping noise rubber bands make) and arguments in classrooms. Kids want to trade them and the trading of Silly Bandz is a serious enough business among kids to cause arguing and disruption.
If your child wears Silly Bandz, be aware of your local school's policy regarding Silly Bandz, before letting your child wear her favorite Silly Bandz to class, and risk having them confiscated.

Post a CommentWhen I was in school, it was slap bracelets, trolls, and giga pets. It's always something! :)
This reminds me of slap bracelets...
Well, to follow up on Jan's remark (as someone who survived 20 years as a teacher) fun = distraction.
I guess teachers consider them a distraction. They look fun to me.
Yeesh. In my day, it was those knockers - the thing with 2 hard balls that we used to flip and knock together... when we were not hitting ourselves in the elbow and face while trying to pull off an otherwise smooth move. Those I could understand: They were dangerous... but these? gads.
