My backpack in primary school times was about 3kgs on worst days - school lockers aren't a thing here. We carried our books, notebooks, exercises, PE suit, boots and lunch day after day; home to school and back again - a scoliosis story /s. Secondary school times were more chill - while it was mandatory to have all of that stuff, teachers were turning blind eyes.
So slowly seeing how tablets or laptops are replacing all that paper I'm envy those kids. But at the same time I see the dangers, how kids are addicted to the mobiles and the Internet; school should set such devices to be tools and not potential form of entertainment as much it's only possible.
- troyvit 2y agoThat's a really good point. My kids have tablets but they barely carry books. They could probably get 90% of the same stuff done if they were given an eReader instead of a tablet. It would have several benefits now I think about it. * frame rate sucks too much for tik-tok to be any good * easier on the eyes * useless for doing homework on, so the kids go back to paper where they have to show their work anyway. I dunno this might be the way. Instead of artificially limiting platforms, let the platform's natural limitations do the work.
