+1 yeah I agree. I think the issue is that there is a lack of storage for them in the classrooms themselves in MS. Kids would be tripping over them.
Edited: Kids carry heavy backpacks all day, every day during the school year. Classrooms didn’t shrink on the last day, and
no tripping happens.
I heard from another parent that one year, kids filled backpacks with paper assignments and such, then dumped them all over the hallways when the last bell rang, leaving a giant mess. Might be urban legend.
No tripping happens? Right.
My oldest child's LA teacher in seventh grade tripped over a student's backpack and broke all three bones in her arm.
My middle son's best friend tripped over a backpack in his Algebra class and broke his ankle.
My neighbor, who is a teacher, tripped over a student's backpack and slammed her 8-month pregnant belly into the edge of a desk. Thankfully, both she and the baby were okay, but it was scary and painful for her.
My middle son said kids stumble over backpacks all the time, but they are usually just stumbles, so no one gets hurt.
