[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Carson, the kids have to use their lockers because they aren't allowed to carry backpacks between classes. [/quote]

Yes! The kids have to carry their binders, laptop, pencil pouches and headphones and stuff falls all the time. It sucks.[/quote]

Get your kid a better pencil pouch that holds their headphones.

A binder, laptop, and pencil pouch is not a lot for kids to carry, unless they have a disability, of course. [/quote]

Tissues, glasses, etc. pads/tampons? it’s a lot. They should be able to have a backpack to go around to their classes.[/quote]

Tissues? Why is your kid carrying tissues?

I went to an FCPS middle school and we weren't allowed to carry backpacks even back then. We did have to carry our 1" binder for each class, textbooks to math, science, history, and Spanish, PE uniform to school on Monday/home on.Friday, and musical instruments.

And we didn't have block schedules, so we had to carry all that stuff every day, figuring out for ourselves when to go to our lockers. We also carried feminine hygiene products when we needed them.

We were fine back then, and these kids are fine today. They can carry things. They can figure out when to visit lockers. It's a life skill to learn how to schedule oneself.[/quote]
