Also, no one seems to care that millwrights, mechanics and carpenters have to buy their own tools. I haven't seen a tool supply drive sponsored by the local news like they have every year for school supplies. And why did kids need a new pack pack every year? Why do they need one at all? When did backpacks for kindergarteners become a thing?
When our kids were in grade school they would send home the supplies list. They would always ask those who could to buy extra of certain items for the less fortunate kids. Many of us did.
The reason for backpacks when my kids were in school was because they give kids no time between class to go to their locker. MS and HS they never used them.
Kindergartners have lockers?
You asked three separate questions. All about backpacks. I gave you a reason why MS & HS need them because they don't use their lockers.
Yes, there are no lockers for kindergarten and grade school kids so a backpack is necessary. How long ago did you have kids in school, if you ever did?
The amount of materials they are given daily necessitates the need. And yes, they need a new one nearly every year because they get pretty beat up and kids do graduate from Dora the Explorer to Marvel and eventually to their favorite color with no characters.
Glad I could help you out here Damone.
