The heavy schoolbag rant

Hello!


This is what I should have started my morning with, me telling you about my oldest daughter's schoolbag rampage in the morning.


This past week my daughter's schoolbag has been traveling down the stairs on its own, yes, tumbling down the stairs and my daughter yelling out "oops! Sorry about that." So we always thought it was an accident, she's very accident prone so we let it fly by. But today in the rush rush of the morning her school bag came tumbling down but there was no "oops!" Plus her bag was extra heavy so it made extra noise. I immediately yelled her out, telling her that there were other people in the building that were probably sleeping still. Then there was a duo, my wife came into the melee and started telling her that if the school asked for any money because of broken books, they were coming out of her allowance... She apologized and said that her bag was just to freaking heavy.


I agreed with her, in silence, I have noticed over the years that the schoolbags of children are getting heavier and heavier. When I used to go to school I would put my two or three books under my wrists, to look cool, and off I went to school. But today's kids always go with their schoolbag top to the rim and at least 5 kilos more of paper stuff. And we are supposed to be in the age of electronics, weren't computers supposed to replace the books? I would have thought that by now my daughters would take their notebooks to school write on them, come home make a backup and do their homework on those things. I think the school system is lagging behind, I know it's not their fault, our governments rather pay for useless stuff, like wars, then to improve the school system that at the end will benefit mankind. It will improve humankind and we won't have ignorant leaders advancing dumb theories that promote the idea that life did exist in other planets but that imperialism destroy it.


See you soon!
