So the first day of school we looked out the window to see our neighbor’s daughter walking to school. Well, struggling to stay upright. She is slightly built and had a messenger bag on her hip that she was trying to balance.
Soon after we saw other students on their way, with what looked like full backpacks.
We have to wonder what was weighing they down? Did they have every single thing that was on their teacher’s lists in the backpacks? Where would they have room for their books in the backpacks?
The teachers surely wouldn’t want them to bring in everything all at once? They wouldn’t have time to use every binder and folder and gluestick on the first day.
Somehow back to school has turned into pack to school.
