School Bag Difference

[Invent]

I have to say I'm surprised by the replies on here going by my school. Girls seem to get on pretty well with number 1 that I know of.

I guess it sort of depends on what types of books, etc your school uses. Most of my classes gave me like 2 books to write in and at least 1 textbook so you kinda had to have a larger bag than the first one she's posted to bring everything to class, lol.

In my school, most backs are kept there except for some classes. The books we take home are rarely big books and they're just the smaller ones. If we have folders you can carry them anyway but I think they can fit into those type of bags, depends on what extra stuff you take to school I suppose.

Same here. We'd go to our lockers in the morning, at recess, and lunch and at home time. Each class would have an exercise book, and a text book, and sometimes accessories like pencil cases, or sports equipment, or the projects we were handing in, etc. There'd be two or three lessons for each time we went to our lockers. Each night four subjects would give us homework.

No one carried their books in their arms for the sake of fashion.

What 'kind' of school are you going to if you leave the books in the classroom? You are in secondary school right? And um... what sort of demographic school? Mine was an upper class public (in the American not British sense. So. State school? ) school where we were pretty much all middle class and most of us were expected to graduate, and preferably go to university.

I just go to some crappy comprehensive school. I don't see why leaving your books there is bad. It's not like I need the if I don't have homework or revision. Lots forget to bring them back so they collect them in.

^ Exactly. The forgetting to bring them back in is one of the traits of a lower economic school. I don't know why, I've just noticed that it happens a lot, and that schools choose to not give out books (or, they can't afford a book for everyone in the school, that's another factor) for kids to take home, to stop that from happening.
I'm sure you're more trustworthy than that though, just saying about the demographic of the school itself.

Why would you need to take them home? Because we do/did have to do a lot of homework every night and it often did involve the textbooks and our exercise books. Four textbooks home a night required a big bag.

We're just given a photocopied piece of paper from a book for homework normally. Well posh we are.

Most schools are like that I think up until the later years (year 10-11) as the homework generally gets a lot longer and more complex then .

I'm in year 11, nothings changed. Infact, probably more chance of getting a book in year 7 as you'll bring them back.

What a waste of paper. I almost never got worksheets, nor did my brother. Unless you're talking about primary school. (under year 7s, for us).

Maybe the students at my school were more trustworthy. I didn't know anyone who lost their books or 'didn't return them'. Sometimes you'd forget to bring them to class, and you'd get in trouble for it.

I'm not sure about you but I love LeSportsac. I know they are really expensive so I buy them at markets And we don't even get the real LeSportsac shops in Australia anyway
