[quote=Anonymous]If it’s really a struggle for your son, can you ask the school to make an accommodation? Or is the no backpack rule for security reasons? The exploding binder makes me think your son might have executive function struggles. My youngest doesn’t have ADD but does have EF challenges. It has taken a lot of coaching with organization. In MS, we would go through the binder weekly to make sure everything was in its place and discard old papers (from units that have long-since passed). By HS, all my kids gave up the big binder in favor of spiral notebooks and folders. They are much lighter weight and color coded/matched for each subject. He can carry half as much before lunch and then switch when he goes to his locker at lunch. Perhaps you can also try to get a Chromebook case with a strap. [/quote]
