Ultimate stupidity? Russia bans fidget spinners.

Russia cannot see the deforest for de trees.

They are not seeing what matters.  They are chasing their tails looking for boogeymen.   When the King of the Boogies is running the whole show.

For real??? Well you know what? It wouldn't surprise me!  

not sure what they mean by that

They are fun to play with for about 3.5 minutes.  That's me.  Kids who are a bit hyper seem to benefit from them.  That comes from a second-grade teacher who I have no reason not to trust.

In my own experience with an eight-year-old branded as ADHD (which I do not believe exists) I found that while helping him with homework he stayed on topic easier when he was spinner-fidgeting.  I also let him stand at the table rather than sit.  That helps.

That news report sounds like some of the hysteria emitting from liberals here at home. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at July 21, 2017 7:38 AM MDT

Good idea.

And some 5 year old girl apparently got suspended for having an imagination. Playing with a stick that looked like a gun.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
