      My p3 still playing with stationery from p1 till now. That's why always short of erasers, think some must have fly away or some confiscated. It's more like lost of concentration and mind tends to wander off elsewhere. It's serious that the teacher complains to me. Ya, I reduce the things in his pencil box. Scolded him and taking off something that he likes till he is better with no complain from teachers. Maybe boys tend to be like that especially those that are good in imagination... 😉 Don't know as a parent to be happy or sad with his creative mind??? :skeptical:

            My students do sometimes play with their stationery too. But I believe some individual are kinesthetic learner, which means they learn/absorb better when they play with something (they just can't sit still).

              Maybe the teachers should read this article too, then they would understand the children better and not keep complaining to parents. I've been receiving my fair share of complaints from my DS teacher. She even called him \"irritating\" in front of him. But I couldn't help grinning inside of me. I thought it is quite funny, actually.

                  It’s common thing to play with stationeries. We also had the staples on flag erasers. Whoever can flip the eraser on top wins(eats) the erasers. This explains why the stationeries go missing. I used to spend $0.10, $0.20 on fanciful erasers when I was young too.


                  But we must teach our kids not to do it when teachers are teaching. The most annoying play will probably be playing with the pen spring when teachers are talking. It will definitely irritate the teacher and classmates who are trying hard to pay attention.
