You goddamn old people and your lockers.. Us young people have to carry six textbooks, two notebooks, and a binder all day every day, and if we want to put our bags down without keeping a close eye on them they get stolen. dont even get me started on the classes that had workbooks, or having to lug arou nd a science project with all this stuff... |

Wow, why didn't he just originally get a bookbag?? Kind of the obvious option. Fail for bitching about easily avoided problems. |

So, we were all assigned lockers. You kept your books in them, among other things. At the beginning of the day you would get out the books you needed for the classes before recess. You would put them away at the end of the last of those classes. Then at the end of recess you would get out the books for the classes you had before lunch, etc.
Or, if you were me, you grabbed one folder & your school diary and took those to the classes you chose to attend. |

Dagaz20 - Well, I needed every one of my books unless the teacher said otherwise (and my English teacher was the only one who wouldn't make us bring both books every day). Trust me, I wouldn't have brought all my books every day if I didn't need them. |

@LillianDulci I never even went to the office to get a locker in my name in all four years of high school.... I never once used a locker... I just stopped carrying books I didn't need |

lololeela - I have a friend who wheels her books around in college. She does it because she got into a car accident about a year ago and they told her she'd either have to just not put any strain on her back or have surgery. She opted for the cheaper option and just got a rolling backpack. :P |

42467 - Never use a locker in high school? I used mine all the time, there was no way I was carrying around 6 classes worth of books to each class! My middle school didn't even have lockers, though almost every class had a classroom set of books anyway so we rarely had to bring books to school, just notebooks. |

The guy who narrates these has monotone down pat. He almost sounds like Stephen hawking.
On another note- my school was overcrowded, and freshmen didn't get lockers. We had to carry all of our books all day. I broke 5 backpacks that year due to the zippers and straps not being able to handle the weight. The older kids didn't even have to knock books out of peoples arms. They just sat and watched and laughed at all the freshmen. |

I hardly know anyone at our schools who DOESN'T use a bag.  Then again, we don't use lockers.
I always used a backpack until second year of high school when I realised that only boys used them, and the girls were moving onto shoulder bags. Then I used a messenger bag for another two years, and now I have a shoulder bag of my own. DX |

I started off high school with one of those huge backpacks that looked like I was going on a hike. Embarassing...
Luckily our teachers realized that most of us had lockers that were nowhere near any of our classes, so we were allowed to keep the assigned textbooks in the classroom. I was able to switch to the "cool" messenger bags everyone else had. |

Freshman through Junior year we were allowed to have backpacks in class, and one of those years I had a bookbag instead... But senior year they stopped allowing backpacks in the classroom. You could have one, but it had to be left in your locker.
I had one of those zip up binders with a strap (worn like a bookbag) that year and kept all of my books in my locker unless I had to take them home for homework or was in their needed class... but my locker was optimally placed so I -had- to pass it between most of my classes anyway... so I only ever had 1 book at a time. |

It seems that only overweight people wheel their books around. They can't be bothered to do anything that puts any "stress" on their bodies. |

When I went to school, I used a backpack from kindergarten until the end of college. And so did every other person I knew.
Of course, where I went to school, there was no such thing as a locker, so you HAD to carry around all your stuff. "Cool" kids just blew off their homework and didn't carry anything. |

We weren't allowed to carry bookbags around, so everyone developed Herculean strength because the math books were sooo freaking huge. |
