Backpacks in Schools

2020 Book Creator competition - all entrants

Conclusion

I wrote this book because I am in fifth grade and I struggle with carrying my backpack around with me everywhere I go. It is just way too heavy. Even my friends complain about it, our backs start to ache. The reason is that we don't have anywhere to put our stuff for each class, we just stuff everything in our backpack and bring it to and from school. It just get's annoying after a while. It can also get dangerous. Soon kids can start breaking their backs if their backpack gets too heavy. It doesn't take much! EEK!

About The Author

My name is Sophie DiNero. I am 10 and in the 5th grade. I have 2 siblings, an older brother named Jackson, and a younger sister named Charlotte. Also my moms name is Jessica and my dads name is Paul (their awesome). We have a puppy named Rusty, don't ask how we got his name, it's a long story. When I have free time I enjoy doing math, hiking, and spending time with family. But by far what I absolutely love to do is play SOCCER! I don't know why I love it sooooo much, I just think that playing soccer is so much fun! Also, I'm in the 5th grade and I struggle with this problem. My backpack is insanely heavy! It's just that I have no place to put all of my stuff! It's really annoying!

What Is It?

The problem is that backpacks are too heavy for students to carry from class to class. I struggle with this every day. This reason is that we have no place to keep our stuff for each class and I just have to shove it into my backpack and bring my stuff for math into my science class. Luckily I don't have to bring my HEAVY backpack to lunch and recess but the other 5th grade class in my school has to bring their backpacks to lunch, recess, and special.

Why Is It A Problem?

This is a problem because students backs can be psychically damaged. This relates to me, I don't know if my back is psychically damaged, but I know that my back starts to hurt pretty often whenever I'm bending down, my back will start to cramp. This is bad because it we are just kids, imagine when we get older how bad our backs will be!

My Solution

School Backpacks Too Heavy?

My solution to the backpacks are too heavy problem is every class will have the supplies needed for everyday so that all of the students will only have to bring stuff like a watter bottle or a glasses case. Something like that. I really hope this will help so, me, my friends, and everyone else who struggles with this will stop struggling.

How It Works

More teens report back pain from heavy backpacks

At the beginning of the year the teachers will decide what supplies they will need to last through out the whole year and every student will bring in three of those supplies to donate to each teacher that they have so that you will be able to leave your backpack in your original homeroom.
