My opinion on the clear backpacks is the same as most of my classmates, negative. The reason I say this is quite simple; the rule for clear backpacks is ineffective. I think in striving to make us feel safer, it just misses the mark.
I had an interview with Assistant Principal Mr. Castro, and I have to say my opinion has slightly changed. When I first spoke to him, I came in with a negative mind set. When I asked do you think clear backpacks were the best choice? He said,“I think it lets people see we are trying to do something different to keep the students safe”.
Though the backpacks do make us feel safer, it doesn’t show immediately. I asked Mr.Castro if he thought clear backpacks make us safer? “Well, it’s a clear backpack. It does make its contents more visible compared to regular backpacks.” Well, what he said is true. There is no denying that the policy is a small step toward students’ safety . However,this policy cannot be the sole solution to the school safety issue.
Good job Robert !!
I understand the frustration with the clear back packs but I think it is important that we do everything we can to keep kids safe. Is a clear back pack the answer – no, but it is a start. 🙂
I agree as well, but if the students feel insecure, couldn’t they just bring a binder?
i agree and disagree. Yes clear backpacks keep us safe but it does not really matter it goes into our lockers in the morning and we don´t get them into the end of the day. they dont check them in the mornings. i think that it gets thing stole easily. but they have a cute style. but good story
