Why cant kids wear backpacks in middle school?

Michelle

i cant wear backpacks to school. wud up with that.

Answer
At my middle school and highschool they won't allow backpacks or bags in class because they suspect that you're carrying a weapon or illegal things. Back when I was in 8th grade (3 years ago) some kid brought a rifle to school and put us in lock down. And he was expelled. That same day, we had a bomb threat that I nearly got expelled for. I was so in shock I couldn't cry or anything. It was insane.

Do you have your teenage kids use school backpack for traveling?

JK

My son will be going to a couple of band concert trips and I was wondering if it's odd if he uses his school pack - last year most kids seemed to have a special travel bags but I'm kind of poor and I just didn't see the point of buying a new bag when his school pack seems to be sufficient for the purpose.

Why do people provide their kids with different travel bags other than their school packs?

Answer
Yes, he certainly can use his student backpack as a travel bag. I have done that many times when I'm just going on an overnighter. It is a simple, practical solution and as you noted, it is sufficient to carry the things he needs. As for why other people buy "luggage" for their kids when their backpacks would suffice, it could be that an obvious solution staring them right in the face never even occurred to them. Perhaps they think a backpack has only one function and it never dawned on them it can have all sorts of handy uses (I used mine last weekend to carry tools up to our church to work on a project). How great that your son is in band. Kids who participate in performing and visual arts frequently excel beyond their peers who don't. He is learning so many great things, including teamwork and responsibility, not to mention things he doesn't even realize he's learning that will help him in subjects such as math and science. You're a great mom to encourage his music playing. Brava for you!

What is the year kids started carrying backpacks to school?

Mrs. B

I was really wondering what year kids started to carry backpacks to school. I have pictures of my kids in Jr. high school in 1984, no back packs, only a little bag. The they used to carry a lunch pail.

Answer
When I was in high school, I had an old army knapsack. There weren't any backpacks until I went to college. I graduated in 1981.

How do women from other countries carry so much weight on their heads?

the best kids backpacks for school image

jzeb100

The schoo project im doing requires coming up with a solution to help people carry weight that they arent supposed to carry. Average man is supposed to carry 15% of their weight, but many people carry more and backpacks for school kids also cannot hold a lot. Im doing some research and found African woman can hold 70% of their weight on their heads, but how do they do it?

Answer
One reason for the African woman's ability to bear loads effortlessly seems to be her posture. As a girl, she learns to stand so straight that her pelvis and vertebrae line up like a well stacked pile of blocks.

Another reason may lie in her gait. At the beginning of most persons' strides the head bobs up and the body slows; then as the foot moves forward, the head dips and the body accelerates. This bobbing and dipping and accelerating and decelerating requires a lot of effort. But African women put all their energy into moving forward. The vertical motion is absorbed in the bones and soft tissue. Hips bob less than ankles; shoulders bob less than hips; and the head (with its burden) bobs not at all. Thus, while most people bounce along like wagons on egg- shaped wheels, African women move like wagons on round wheels.

Do you buy your kids new backpacks each school year?

the best kids backpacks for school image

So my kids get new backpacks each year, but i did notice some of their classmates have the same old backpacks. I know things are tuff for some parents but there are good deals out there you just have to shop around. So whats your opinion new backpacks or reuse?

Answer
My son gets a new backpack every year. He just started 3rd grade. Every year he wants something different. Star Wars, Transformers, etc. Last year he insisted on getting a Pittsburgh Pirates one. This year it's just a plain grey and black with the across the chest type strap from Five Below. Once he gets older (into high school) I will buy him a more expensive one that lasts hopefully 2-3 years. If a new $10 backpack makes him happy every year, I have no problem buying it.

There is nothing wrong with reusing one, regardless of your financial state. I just prefer to buy a new one every year.

How Do I Get My Bad Bus Driver Fired?

Angel

I have a really bad bus driver at my school. He will swear at us and sometimes he looks drunk. He almost crashed into a tree and almost hits pedestrians. One time food was falling out of a kindergardeners backpack so he threw the kids backpack away. Everyone on our bus complains to our teachers, and our parents. The teachers always say "That's how rumors will get started so stop lying and starting rumors". The parents will always say that we are probably bad on the bus and that we deserve it. We can't do anything! Nothing works! One time he even said "SHUT THE HELL UP ANDSIT DOWN NOW YOU B*****! That just scared me! PLEASE HELP US WE NEED THIS BUS DRIVER GONE!

Answer
first off, debris on the floor (such as food from backpacks) is very hazardous since it could roll to the front of the bus and get stuck under the brake pedal causing an accident. second, I have believe it or not I was in school once and rode a bus to school, kids on a bus can be very rude and very distracting for the driver. it is a bus drivers duty to do what he/she has to in order to make sure that kids get to and from school safely. as far as almost hitting a tree, he could have been distracted by rude kids or maybe you are just saying that to try and get sympathy from people. don't interfere if you have no knowledge in what it takes.
