[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, then why isn't the solution to say "we've had lots of problems with accidents caused by wheeled backpacks; please assess whether your child actually needs one. If not, don't bring it. If so, please teach your kid how to use the pack in crowded halls or on stairways so that s/he won't put others at risk. Not need to sacrifice the individual to the group. Or to waste a teachable moment (good for your kid to think about what s/he is schlepping to/from/around school and whether it's necessary; good for your kid to think about how the space you take up changes depending on what you're carting and how and that it's important to watch out for others).[/quote] I prefer the "no wheeled backpack rule." It's clear. Everyone knows what it means. Then the decision is not up to you. [/quote]
