If the teacher has suggested it, then I think its fine. I wouldn't be allowing it on a day to day basis but at the end of year there isn't much going on, I know at our school anyway all the books and work has come home and they are just having fun at this point.

So what did you end up doing about it?
FWIW I am going to be old misery here and say if it were one of mine that came home and said they were doing that, I would say no because 1 I have a rule that they are not allowed to take anything to school that cost more than $10 and 2 I think there are more productive things the kids could be doing instead of that kwim. Our kids don't have one anyway (Lindsay is getting one for Christmas though shhhhhh) but I think that it only serves to highlight the differences between the haves and the have-nots and the teacher really should have put a lot more thought into it - imagine how the kids who don't have one are going to feel. I would even go so far as to say something to the school about it.
