Why do schools ban trends?
Why do schools ban certain trends?
For instance, if one child brings a specific toy to school, teachers may not mind. However, when the entire student body starts bringing the same toy, leading to a situation where stores sell out, some schools may decide to impose a ban. Examples of such toys that have faced bans in the past include fidget spinners, rainbow rubber bands, and slime.
In Canada, some schools are currently considering banning the latest craze among children and teens: fidget spinners. Interestingly, fashion trends do not seem to be banned as frequently as toys. This raises the question: why such a focus on toys if they aren't harmful? It appears that if only a few students had a particular toy, it wouldn’t matter much, but when everyone has one, there seems to be a strong reaction from schools.

Stuff like that does get disruptive. I remember years ago “clackers” got popular. These are two good sized plastic balls joined together by a 18 inch or so string– and you swung them a certain way to make them hit each other and “clack”. Noisy and also dangerous if they slipped out of your hand when swinging– so there is a good reason to try and reduce disruptions with all the recent trends.
It’s might be because although fidget spinners do help some people who learn better if fidgeting, for a lot of people, especially teenagers it is just a distraction and if everybody is spinning things in class instead of writing then there isn’t really any point in even teaching the lesson, also even though one fidget spinner isn’t that loud thirty odd of them are going to be quite annoying to listen to also it hasn’t actually been proved to help with ADHD so there wouldn’t be a medical argument to it unless you could actually prove to the teacher that the student has improved with the fidget spinner
