[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We used to carry 7 textbooks, a 3-inch binder, lunch, an instrument, a bag for afterschool sports, etc. We only used 1 STRAP of the backpack, because if you used both you must be a nerd. Of course we didnt' have water bottles like the kids have now. [/quote]

My Lord. Were the 80s and 90s that bad to you? You never, ever carried 7 textbooks at once - let's be honest now.

I carried an instrument, backpack and all the other things, too. But I wasn't made to take a select group of things out of my one-strap backpack, stand in a line and hold it over my head. All while some teacher was yelling at me to hurry up and there were 500 people behind me.

If you took things out of your backpack, let's hear where you went to school because it must have been Theodore Roosevelt.

DP.  I laughed at the one strap reference.  Somehow, I don’t remember by backpack ever being super heavy or anything but I surely remember only using one strap or else I’d look like a nerd.

I’m sure my parents worried more about me bringing things than I did.  I remember them telling me to dress warm in the snow and wear a heavy coat.  I wasn’t cold and didn’t need one.  Some things don’t change. [b] Our kids are not worried.  We are.  It will be fine.[/b]  [/quote]

What BS. The kids ARE worried, about being late to class, about having to get up much eariler to get their spot in line, about getting shot at school while standing outside or minding their own business, about the general state of the world, etc. We adults have failed them utterly with all this nonsense.[/quote]

You are responding to me.  Do you talk about this nonstop at home? Are you making the metal detectors and lines out to be a huge deal? Maybe that’s why they are worried.  Mine are not.  They are not concerned if they are late to class, for no fault of their own, because it will be excused.  One of mine was late on the first day because of the bus.  There was no stress or anxiety.  Maybe you project your worries onto your kid.[/quote]

Apparently you are the only parent on here who doesn't care that you kid is missing instruction due to useless security screening. [/quote]
