School Bags & kids!

one of my cousin actually have a mini trolley in his school bag already fitted.

But that's not the solution Robin as one can't use it outside school. :)

then what do you say about ebooks, ipads especial designed for kids and worksheet system as suggested by ram.

It's indeed, a distressing sight and looks more like a physical training than education!! May be one day a digital solution would be there. But the point which is of importance is not only the physical dimension of books, what about the mental dimension?

Ebooks,i pads are good solution and it will be a better alternate for those heavy school bags. :)

Those will be limited to chosen few most of the children would still be carrying those books. Even these books are not available to majority of our children.

Yes every one cannot afford it even in government schools where kids hardly get the books how can they be expected to spend that much of money. :(

Government is not able to provide even books in the market timely due to bad planning. Expecting gadgets would only complicate and give them a chance to more corruption.

I am quite surprised that none has looked at the unbearable course content that a kid these days,are prescribed to learn!!

About my girl....she has to take only her lunch and diary.
All her study materials are kept safe at her school.
At home, we do have one set of books to teach her. But that was not my case when I was at my school.
But after UKG, I think, she will have to carry everything :evil:

This is good for children to keep their books in school otherwise they look like a donkeys carrying luggage.

Absolutely but school administration should understand it better. :)

They should provide locker-rooms in every school for children to keep their belongings. They can only carry home the home work sheets along. But is that possible really?

Yes it possible they do it sometime in my kids' school but not that frequently. :)

Now a days government is planning of laptops to children which will decrease bag weights for them.

laptops..Is it possible for government to give them? Most of the people in our nation won't prefer to buy it as its costly for them. :(

If they are planning to give it free of cost, they are in offing of making good money out of the deal.

I don't know if government can bear it to give it free of cost to all students. :)

Nothing will be free.

The heavy school bags are definately not good for the health of kids. Today, children carry the schoolbags weighing from 4-8 kgs which is bad for their back. The school management and administration should look after this matter. Many alternatives like locker system, trolly system, desks with lifting tops can be adopted by the schools. In some countries, the books of every subject is published in 3 slimmer volumes, one for each term to reduce the stress.

Today in English medium school the syllabus of pre classes are very vast and to cover such syllabus kids have to carry lots of weight on their back as a result of back pain.........................
