Satchels
|
What should your satchel be like?
Your satchel is your “best friend” for going to school.
|
|
In the past, there were no satchels, only school-cases. They served the same purpose, but they were rectangular in shape, made of a much harder material, and had shoulder-straps. However, the children that used them did not have to take as many books as you do, so they didn’t carry as much weight on their backs. |

|
So that your back does not “complain”, it is important that you know that the best satchel for you is one with two wide shoulder-straps and a belt for tying it. It should be made of a nice, soft material, and not be too big for you. |

If you prefer a satchel that has wheels, try to make sure that the handle can be adjusted to your own height and, especially! Always push it in front of you; never pull it behind you. |
