The Pack-a-derm

Profile of a Child Book Bag User - The Pack-a-derm

The Pack-a-derm carries plenty of bulky items. Although not necessarily heavy, a Pack-a-derm's load requires an enourmous amount of space. It might take some time to locate an item in the depths of the pack, it is sure to be there. Afterall, the Pack-a-derm never forgets an essential.

Other Ergonomic Considerations

• Remove any unnecessary items. If you've already tried and can't seem to remove enough essentials to decrease the bulk then use the "One Week Rule". If it has not been touched for a week remove it (secretly if need be) until it is needed. This can help prioritize carrying needs.
  
• Encourage the use of the "locker" to "store" things.
  
• Find a more permanent storage location for things that do not need to be taken home everyday.
