Subject: Views about heavy school bags
Dear Sir:
I am writing this mail to express my concern over the issue of heavy school bags carried by students these days. In the modern world when everything is becoming compacter, smarter, and lighter, what justification can be given to defend the ever increasing weight of school bags?
Loading students with burden of books will only make them beasts of burden, not augment their intelligence in any way! The books are delightful objects to be handled with mind, not to be carried as burden!
The way out of this problem is proper management of education and introduction of latest and scientifically approved teaching learning techniques by some really enlightened educationists. Books have become redundant in the modern times when through technology they can be made so light and easy to use by converting them into soft copies. All the syllabus books must be available on the smart boards; students love to learn in colourful manner with images, sound and related videos.
I appeal to your good self to bring to the notice of the concerned authorities to the problem; I also appeal to the policy makers to introduce soft books, computers, and provision for digital books in the classes. I hope you will give enough space to my views in your esteemed daily.
Regards,
Suresh

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. It has been seen that sometimes children carry bags that are more than half their body weight. It is astonishing to see children, most of them barely four foot tall, carry huge schoolbags to school five days a week, carrying them from their homes to the assembly, then to class, and then back home again. The lucky ones have transport to and from school, but even they have to carry their own bags while in the school premises.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
Sangeeta / Sanjeev
