School Backpacks

In India, they are trying to ban school bags.

November 1, 2008 - It has been more than two years since the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) issued instructions to phase out school bags. Stating that it found the size of the school bag to be one of the major contributors of stress among schoolchildren, the board had asked all affiliated schools to take this load off the students, especially those in the primary sections.

Without success.

While in the U.S., the backpacks come with instructions.
