[quote=Anonymous]North Bethesda and Westland middle schools have backpacks, of course. Which are these stupid schools that don't permit bags for kids?!?
I have two kids who went through 6 years of middle school jointly at the above schools, and there were never any problems with this.

One of my kids also tried a covered binder, but it was a huge hassle, and he ended up ditching it. We never had the covered binder explode, though, and my kid stuffed it to the gills! So either you persuade the school to let your child use his backpack, or you try another covered binder - this one seems to be defective.

You don't want several binders. The leanest possible set-up is what my daughter has now. She has medical issues and needs something lightweight. 
One lightweight backpack (not canvas like my other kid's), one slim binder with separations for each subject, *whose pages are regularly emptied out and stored at home*, and small notebooks for the teachers that require notebooks (not the heavy cardboard kind, but with thinner covers). 
No extraneous stuff whatsoever. She has two violins: a rental she keeps at school, and our own instrument that we keep at home, and bring to private lessons and youth orchestra. That way she's not lugging an instrument to and from school every day.

Also, I know Americans love to sip water throughout the day, but it's not medically required and you don't actually *need* to carry a water bottle with you at all times. He can keep it with his lunch.[/quote]
