I have no time to go to my locker in the busy and packed hallways. A draw string bag is going to break if I put in my 3 text books plus notebooks in it. It's a waste of money for me to buy one and it break right away. Another thing is I carry around a water bottle and being able to put it in my side pocket is very convenient rather than having to carry it.

I think it's honestly really stupid not to be able to wear backpacks. we're in highschool we have books and lots of them and supplies we need to be able to carry them around and we only have 4 minutes of passing time that's not enough time to get our stuff and try to get to our class. it's stupid.

I think it's outrageous not everyone has tons of money to buy new things. And just bc one kid brings drugs doesn't mean all does. Kids do it any way out side of school. They'll bring it in another way. They don't care.

My opinion this is the most unefficaint rule school has made also not to mention gets in the way of my life yes i need the diploma but it is keeping me from the real world i would rather be working and earning money than be sitting all day not being productive if im in school why am i going to waste even more time running to my locker that is completly OUT OF MY WAY to grab things that i need, rant not over but enough said

This is a stupid rule. Students need to be able to carry all of their gear to multiple classes.

As a freshman, sophomore, and junior I was allowed to carry my backpack class to class. Because a selected few or even assuming ruined it for us, I am now stuck being late to every class, or not even showing up with right materials. If someone really wanted to carry illegal substances or even a gun, they could in a drawstring backpack. I am a senior now, and all I have to carry in my "dangerously over sized backpack" are multiple textbooks, notebooks, binders, pencils, ect. Things I need for class. I'm not going to be late to class for going all the way across the school to get in my locker.

How is a drawstring backpack any safer than a regular backpack you can just as easily hide a weapon in both

This new rule is very inconvenient, it needs to be stopped. I personally don't have the time to stop at my locker because it's incredibly far from my classes.

We're forced to use string bags if we want to carry anything.. Those things hurt after awhile.

People don't have enough time to go all the way across school to their locker and back all the way across, and string backpacks may not be enough
