Silly Banz BANNED

Schools across the nation are banning "Silly Bandz," rubber bracelets that are popular around school kids. Teachers claim that they are "a nuisance," distracting children and teens from their school work. Each bracelet is a different color and shape (there are pigs, stockings, hearts, stars, and more). These bands retail around $5, for a pack of 24. The company that produces "Silly Bandz," is already brainstorming new bracelets that are school-friendly. This includes clear bands that cannot be seen by teachers and glow in the dark.
