HEAVY SCHOOL BEGS

When I read the newspaper today, I found an article
wrote by a father of a primary school student
about how his son has to bring too many books to the school everyday.

Actually, based on my knowledge,
I know that it is very unhealthy for the students
especially the primary schools' students to bring a very heavy bag on their back.
It can lead to stretching or straining of the muscles
that are being used, direct injury to the spine, and overall fatigue.
This information is actually found in this website.
In my opinion,
the government should take some steps to ensure that our generations will not suffer from the health problems.


Maybe
many of us are not realize how serious this problem could be because there is no proper explanation from the professional comity about this
and the public people could not reach their awareness.
There is an investigation done by the department of occupational therapy at the University of the Free State
compared postural deviation in children who carry heavy school bags against those who don’t and the result was not so supportive.
However, the government already take some steps to solve the problem
such as by providing the students with a locker to keep the textbooks. Nevertheless,
not all the schools are provided with the lockers since the government does not have much budget for that purpose.
