Haha. The fidget spinner is THE new cool thing amongst the preteen middle school crowd. A few of my ADHD kids have them, theoretically to help with focus, but they ususllay just end up playing with them and distracting everyone else. Now everyone wants one and they will probably be banned from class soon!

I personally think they are pretty cool and probably very helpful to some ppl who truly need to fidget and do something with their hands in order to be able to focus better.
