The brain-dead classification of a binder with shoulder-strap as a "bag"
may be frustrating, but there was some reasonable decision made
somewhere along the line to ban "backpacks." For those who don't see
the original good intent, here's a cartoon from Sunday, Sept. 2 newspaper:

My daughter just started 8th grade.
The primary school supply requirement is a binder w/ various
compartments.
My daughter has such a thing. With a small brief-case style handle
and a long shoulder strap.
The shoulder strap is obviously to make it easier to carry. Helpful
when you're running up and down 3 flights of stairs with no a/c.
Many of the Jr. High kids own the same style binder.
In their infinite wisdom, the administration and teachers have decreed
that students not carry "bags" around with them.
