How will these all fit into my backpack?
 

I think I took too many classes this year...take a look of the stack of books I need to bring to school everyday (this doesn't even include the separate 3 ring binders for every class and my instrument!).




Now, I'll be able to leave one book and one three ring binder in my car that I can pick up at lunch, but the rest have to be lugged around all day long.

I really think its riduclous that my school just installed a 5 million dollar football field, yet can't afford class sets of textbooks. Or lockers (though that is more of a drug issue I hear).

The least they could do would let us go out to our cars to get stuff during transition periods or brunch (they don't...we can only go off campus at lunch).

Just had to vent some steam :mad:

If you go to school and open the textbook more than once a quarter you're doing it wrong.

Well, you're doing it differently than I did.

Every class syllubus I recieved today said that textbooks are required in every class period, plus all of our homework for subjects such as math and physics is contained in the book...

That is so annoying DF. I wore several backpacks a year out during high school. We had lockers though, so I was able to trade books several times a day. How about a really good hiding place in a few classes to leave a book in? Although you probably have to take each one home for homework.

That's how I did it as well.

What's the teacher going to do, take textbook attendance?

Go get yourself a little red wagon. Put your books in it and then pull it around. Tell your school administrators that this is how it will be until they provide an alternative to carrying 25 pounds of books around all day.

One year I was really sick of having to go back and forth to my locker, so I started bringing a duffel bag filled with my books. Probably about 50 lbs. The bag eventually gave up.

No, but we do a lot of stuff inside the book during class, and it would be impossible to keep up if you didn't have it with you.

I would seriously do that whole wagon thing if our school wasn't constructed on three levels :D

I have seen people use rolling luggage for school

Something like this:

CA schools are weird. We had lockers. And hallways that are inside! :eek:

What's the difference between stashing drugs in your locker or keeping them in your ginormous-locker-on-wheels suitcase?
