Ok! You May Bring Your Suitcase To School

Hi diutay, Where I live I see school with just little bags or not carrying anything at all because their parents all picked up from school and they don't get too much homework to do so I think where you are the poor kids has a lot to do. Tamara

Yeah, I know what you meant, the one looks like suitcase with rollers for them to pull along easier. Frankly, it's a pitty for kids nowadays. There are more texts books for them to bring along daily as compared to our generation. In the past, we sometimes just left some books at our desk at school but now they are not allowed to do so, so have to carry all.

I pass by a couple of schools daily on my way to work in the morning. It's very puzzling to me and I feel very sad, seeing the size of the bags and the number of books that the kids are carrying to school everyday. It takes away the fun and joy of schooling and education

I'm not sure what is in there, either, but I never even had a backpack, back many years ago. I rarely had homework until I was in junior high school and then it wasn't the time consuming that I have seen my granddaughter do in grades 3-6!

When I was in elementary I was one of those kids who lugged a suitcase to school everyday LOL. AS a matter of fact, all of the elementar y kids lugged huge bags to school everyday. The boys would usually have these huge backpacks and the girls would have these bags strapped on to strollers. Later we had those bags with built in strollers, much like travel bags, but with cutesy designs. I guess we were just trying to make the best out of the situation, since we didn't have lockers then and we had to bring a ridiculous amount of stuff to school everyday. We had about 6-8 textbooks, one notebook for each subject, plus we had workbooks, pens, pencils, even art supplies!
