Stop the backpack ban in Ridley Schools

The Issue

At Ridley Middle and High school we are not allowed to carry bags around. We are allowed to bring them in school but not to carry around.This means carrying heavy books and binders around all day. Even worse,we aren't allowed to go to our lockers in between classes if we forget things or the books are heavy. These factors combined with crowded hallways is just complete chaos.

 

Not much will be impacted if left alone, but I feel it would be nice for the students to be able to have something organized. The teachers and principals claim that it would be a fire hazard if they were left on desks/back of chairs but many schools are allowed to carry their backpacks and are not often slowed down by them.

In conclusion,Ridley schools should be allowed bags. They will help students greatly.Thank you for reading and have a good day!
