As a retired elementary school teacher, EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU SPEAK IS TRUTH! Thanks for making me laugh😂 The years that the small electronic toys requiring feeding, etc. were popular, banning them from school was particularly hard. “But, she has to eat or she’ll die!”

I always thought that if I wasn’t having fun with a room full of 10 year olds, I should get a different job, so I appreciate your sense of humor!

I can't imagine the Tamigotchi period. What a nightmare! 🤣

That’s what they were called! Thanks😊It was pretty high drama.

The other exciting time was the creation of talking furbee things. My second grade knew they were banned but a student brought one anyway. It had a defect and couldn’t be shut off! I stuck it in the back of a file drawer and we could hear it muttering to itself all day. It was hilariously creepy.
