I’m sorry, I had to put that headline in. I can’t believe I am saying this, but thank you to Senator David Sokola and State Rep. Paul Baumbach for coming up with the most common sense legislation I have seen in years! As a father of a school-aged son, I have seen him struggle with what this legislation deals with. It is a very heavy load for students to bear this burden. But this bill recognizes this, and I do appreciate it. As a frequent grocery shopper, I used to struggle with bags either loaded up to the point I thought my arm would fall of or they put one thing in each bag. Neither is acceptable. But this bill does actually make a lot of sense. When you hear your student complaining about back pain, it could come from the dreaded backpack!
The Season Of Myths 
They finally got something right. Our grandson who is now 13 started to have back problems 2 years ago. Got him a rolling suitcase to use but kids at school made fun of him so he started using the backpack again. Thank you Sen. David Sokolav and Rep. Paul Baumbach – but don’t stop here, continue to advocate for students.
