4 Reasons Why School Bags Should Not Be a Burden


Have you viewed any school-going students struggling with their bags? Have you tried supporting them to lift their luggage and observed how heavy they are?

If yes, had been you concerned?

If yes, did you disregard any in addition contemplation about why the baggage is so heavy? Because
you thought, well, it’s education after all. Because books are pleased and nothing can be completed about it?

If yes, then this will come as information to you. School bags are made heavy due to the fact of the weight of the books. And, ironically, it is the identical books that can be made to vanish to make the bags a great deal lighter.

4 Reasons Why School Bags Should Not Be a Burden

Here are 4 reasons why you should rethink the role of school bags play in your children’s education.

1. Effect on Physical Well-being

Carrying heavy school bags:

Harms the spine

Affects the posture even when not carrying the bag

Leads to orthopedic issues like sclerosis

Several studies have proved time and again that school bags cause long-term health problems. Unlike viral infection, these issues aren’t visible to the parents. So, most parents tend to ignore them.

2. Love for Education

School bags do not add anything to education. How will students focus on learning if they’re only preoccupied by the discomfort caused to them by all the weight?

Schools should take all the stress away from the shoulders of the students and focus on nurturing their brains.

3. Family Time

Coming up with unique ideas like having a locker or books storage facility at home increases the chances that students enjoy better family time at home.

If the students are not made to carry their studies home, their parents would be forced to keep their work aside too. Or leave it at their workplace instead.

Heavy school bags are a way to dump a lot of homework on the students. Because there’s no school bag, there’s no homework or revision to take care of.

4. Going Paperless

When the schools turn to teaching with the help of digital resources, they help in making everything paperless.

The added advantage is that digital resources or e-textbooks are forever. They don’t get lost or misplaced.

No more, “the dog ate my homework” situation either.
It is the duty of schools to go beyond the academics. They can no longer continue to burden the students with more and more books and paper materials in the name of imparting better education.

Most parents think about their children’s education. But they don’t think about the context in which this education happens.
