Fidget Spinners Are Not Useful Learning Tools 

In my opinion fidget spinners should not be used during class time. 

The most important reason is that it could distract students from doing their work and get bad grades. They won’t listen to the teacher and get caught then get sent to the principal’s office and get a warning about getting their fidget spinner taken off them. 

Another point is that other students want a turn and I’m not mistaken that you make friends like that but it distracts them from their work so don’t do it while in class. Do it at morning tea and lunch so that you and others can do your work. 

Finally, fidget spinners are allowed at school but only at morning tea and lunch not class time because someone might have a fidget spinner and want to challenge you with a race and you would have lots of rounds. 

I therefore believe that no schools should permit children to use fidget spinners in class.
