[quote=Anonymous]My rising 1st grader (and my mom) were just talking about this. I always got new supplies every year, trapper keeper, lunch box, etc., though I don't remember every having a backpack. Now, school supplies are purchased in the spring as part of a kit, and my son has nothing to do with it. He wants a new backpack, and I'm actually partial to it because of the "new, shiny, back to school-ness," of it all. His PBK one is in fine shape and I was thinking I'd use it for travel, sports, etc. I agree it's wasteful, but I do understand the idea of wanting something new for back to school. I guess it's why we also buy some back to school clothes even though the summer season will be almost over. Where I grew up, we wore shorts until November, and it was easy to buy them in August![/quote]
