I remember how much I liked to tap my feet, swing them around and shift side to side when I was in elementary school. This would be a great alternative to burn that extra energy.
i think it sucks if you try to learn something and on the right / left place someone is use this pedals.. you hear just "RATATATATATATATATATATATA"...i would not be able to learn under this circumstances.. :/
There was an article recently where a teacher did this for her whole class in elementary/middle school, the devices have no resistance so, properly maintained, they are silent. She applied to grants and whatnot to try and purchase them. I believe the teacher also allows yoga balls or fidget balls as seats. There are additional things like Bouncy Bands which are like rubber bands with special things to keep them up, and obviously heavy duty, that you can bounce your feet on without making noise so kids can get their wiggles out. Lots of attempts to help kids with lots of energy who have PE/Recess cut down time and time again to allow for standardized testing preparation and test taking.
This is why I love being home schooled. I could/can get up and walk around, when I was younger and my mom read books to me for school id ride around on my scooter in the house, draw, etc. I actually listen better when I have something to occupy myself with.

I frustrate the shit out of people bc they think im not listening or paying attention and they'll ask what they said or what just happened and 95 percent of the time I can shoot back things that happened or what they said.
