Teachers are totally over fidget spinners

Teachers are totally over fidget spinners
See this bugs me because these toys are intended for use for people with anxiety or ADHD, and this article is even like ~manufacturers are claiming it helps~ like no that is the literal use for it. People without anxiety or ADHD will use them as a distraction because they're not using them as intended. Because of this people, especially students, who do need it are getting the shaft because of the misuse of them. They're called fidgets for a reason, and I hope every kid who doesn't need one hits themself in the face with it trying out some ~cool trick~
 
Coming to the Card Wall May 21, and toys June 18

Yeah the reason I hate them is because kids who think they have anxiety are all over this

This. A million times THIS. I don't even consider them toys. Technically it wasn't intended as one.
 
I figure we'll be carrying them right on the down-swing of their popularity. In the meantime, I have a few kids per day approaching me at the doors and asking if we have them.
 
We're getting them in the One Spot revision :)

Thankfully my store is not behind the times
