Dear Mrs Driver
Our class has been discussing about whether fidget spinners should be kept at school or not.
I agree with the rule and understand why fidget spinners should be banned.
Firstly, we come to school to learn, right? We are not supposed to distract other student’s learning. We can always play with them as much as we want while we are at home.
Secondly, nobody likes to lose things. Fidget spinners could get lost at school and we don’t want to go home with tears.
Thirdly, we might get injured due to fidget spinner’s fast speed.
Last of all, kids that don’t have them will be left out and might bug their parents to buy them one.
There is no reason why fidget spinners should be kept at school. However, if any student have been told by a doctor that he/she really needs a fidget spinner for concentration or any other purposes, then they could go to a teacher to ask for permission to bring it.
Thank you for banning fidget spinners.

Dear Mrs Driver,
I disagree with the rule that fidget spinners are banned at school because some kids need them to concentrate.
We probably could have fidget spinners at school if there were strict rules about when we could use them.
We could have fidget spinners at school if we weren't silly with them. When we were bored at lunch time we would have something to do. When our friends run away from us at lunch time we have something to do or play with.

Dear Mrs Driver
I agree with the rule no fidget spinners allowed in the school because they could get lost or stolen. Everyone might argue over them or get hurt.

Dear Mrs Driver
I agree with you that we should not have fidget spinners because…firstly some fidget spinners are valuable so if they drop they could easily break. Also, people could have fights with them.They can get too addicting and people might not listen to their teachers when they're explaining something.They can hurt other people.
People might tease others saying that their one is better.
They could get rusty and fall apart. Some people might not have one and some people might and they could also tease them about that.
