Dear Sir,
Subject: The heavy burden of school bags
I am a regular reader of your newspaper and wish to use the columns of your esteemed daily to bring to the notice of the public the plight of young school kids who carry heavy bags to school.
The curriculum in most schools has become vast over the past few decades. Many new subjects of study and books have been introduced. As a result, children's school bags have become extremely heavy. This causes an unnecessary strain on the kids' spine and can lead to serious injury. The children's posture may become poor and their back may suffer irreversible damage. It has been seen that sometimes children carry bags that are more than half their body weight. The school authorities need to find practical solutions to this problem. Some books and notebooks can be kept in the student's locker in the school premises. Instead of carrying all the books and notebooks to school daily, subject teachers should ask students to bring specific books on particular days. CBSE and NCERT can redesign each of their books into two or more parts, so that children need to carry lighter booklets.
I hope that the public and concerned authorities will take appropriate steps to relieve the students of the heavy burden of school bags.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours faithfully
