Some grade schools and high schools have gone to the clear backpack since they feel these are more secure and prevent concealed weapons from being brought to campus. But take a look at our list, no clear backpacks on it for three reasons. First of all, although they are waterproof, they aren’t too durable and are generally one specific style, which means individual needs haven’t been taken into consideration. Second, there is no real proof that this solves the problem of violence in schools as some experts are quick to point out. Third, students feel that these are an invasion of privacy more than something to keep them safe and some have even filed grievances against being made to use clear backpacks. However, if it is the school policy, it is necessary to follow it, since all schools have their rules from dress codes to backpacks.
