Proof

Remember the "broken binder" episode?  These are the papers that didn't make the cut into the new one.  Why does he carry around everything in the binder?  Backpacks are only allowed to carry your stuff to and from the buses.  They go straight into your locker and stay there all day.  The kids are only allowed to go to their lockers after certain periods.  Levi doesn't want to forget anything, therefore he hauls it all around all day.  The second nine weeks are over, and I still can't get it through his head to not carry around his math workbooks all day after second period.  Wow.....can y'all believe the school year is already half way finished?Report cards come next week.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Oh my wow - that is a few too many papers to be lugging around all day! The poor kids' backs!

I'm not sure which is better, the old system we had where we had to pretty much carry around most of our stuff for the day but we were allowed to use our backpacks, or the new system where the kids can go to their lockers more than once or twice a day but they have to carry it all by hand. I always hated the first day of school when we had to cover all our books and all the teachers seemed to think it was of utmost importance that they be covered by the next day. I had a backpack over 40lbs on the first day one year - insane. No wonder I was always at the doctor getting my back adjusted.

Oh wow, that is one heavy backpack for a kid. At Levi's middle school, there aren't enough textbooks for every kid to have his or her own. They stay in the classsroom, and the kids go grab one on their way in the class. Hence the worksheets.

Wow, that's a lot learning all layed out in a pile. I'll bet the report cards will be good.
