I get why they may be calming for people who have anxiety disorders, but I feel that people who don't have said disorders can take advantage of these things and just use them at their leisure.

And I had a similar experience about the IEP thing because I was bullied by my LD math teacher when my mom wrote my math problems out and he accused me of having my mom do my work for me. She didn't do the work as I solved the problems on my own, but it was stated in my IEP that I was allowed to have a scribe if I needed one. Needless to say, my mom set him straight on that one pretty quickly and he didn't bother me about it again. But when he mocked me for it, I was ready to walk out of the class and I should have. So I definitely sympathize and understand where Net is coming from.
