Unisex Messenger Bags for Middle School

Unisex Messenger Bags for Middle School

If you have a middle school student, then getting off to a good start in the academic year can hinge greatly on one piece of equipment: the school bag. While many automatically opt for a backpack, I can speak from experience as a middle school teacher. Some backpacks are terrible for organizing.

A messenger bag for middle school is an excellent tool for organizational needs of a tween. It's not a gaurantee that your tween will be organized, of course. You need to be involved in the process and teach your tween to be more organized. It's not learned by osmosis, and organization is definitely a valuable life skill.

Your tween will be in a mobile environment. In most cases, a middle school student moves from class to class, carrying a number of books. Backpacks can condense that weight and make it hard to handle. Messenger bags for middle school students create an environment of distributed weight and easier carrying.

At middle school, boys run the risk of being teased if their messenger bags are too purse like. Consider neutral colors, canvas, military styles, or sportslike bags to keep things simple. The Jansport messenger depicted is an excellent example.

Backpacks can be bulky and difficult to lug. The concentration of books and folders into a bulky area can make things difficult to carry and heavy on the back. A messenger bag distributes the contents a little more uniformly and the crossbody strap allows for carrying in front or back with better weight distribution. I lugged a backpack around a college campus recently, adjusting constantly, while another parent carried a messenger bag and didn't have one problem with carrying his things. While backpacks are popular, messenger bags are sensible for middle school book bag needs.
