I remember seeing them a lot at our school book fairs. I loved those nights.

I loved them, too, but as a teacher, I hate them.

Why is that?

Well, they are a distraction because when kids go to the book fair, they come back with something. Then the other kids want to see what they bought. Most of my kids don't have a lot of money, so they aren't buying books. Instead, they buy some dumb pen or fuzzy eraser, more annoying distractions.

Oh, I can see your point then. Teachers and students must not have distractions.
