I saw one of my students with this and I had to congratulate him on a good idea. Shoelaces and a Cornflakes box. He calls it his 'bookpack'.

Did you happen to mention to him that they sell backpacks at the 99cent store?

I mean, I applaud his resourcefulness, but with the weather we've been having in Ca as of late, Im sure he'll be coming to class soon enough saying that his 'bookpack' fell apart in the rain.

Now, I'll give it a "C" for ingenuity. If his mom does not discover the pile of fresh cornflakes in the garbage, then he gets an "A".

The extremes to which teens will go to get the attention of others never fails to surprise me.

Add a ruler and some rubber bands and you could have yourself a low dough ukulele!

Although I applaud the spirit of ceativity, that thing isn't big enough - or strong enough - to haul around the books my 6th-grade daughter has, let alone a high school student. Besides, the durability has got to be really low. Unless this kid is eating a crap-load of cereal every day, he's going to be pack-less pretty soon. I give it a "hmmm...interesting" for design, but a "meh" for engineering.

Dude, at my old school, someone would have given that a good yank, ripped the box from the shoelaces, and his papers would be all over the ground. Then we would mercilessly laugh at him. He'd have to walk home awkwardly carrying his jumbled papers in a cereal box, and we'd call him "corn flakes" for the rest of his life.

Southern Cali + Book Box = Win
Southern Chicago + Book Box = Fail

Here's some possibilities:

- Some kid will throw rocks or something at the box, trying to break a hole in it.
- Someone will take a pen or something sharp and put a hole or tear into it.
- Someone will kick it to see if what's inside will fly out the top
- When he sets it down, someone is gonna tear a hole in the bottom so that when he picks it up, all his stuff falls out.
- Someone will grab a tab, and run off putting a large tear in it and making everything fall out.


Sad to say, but some kids just make themselves into marks.

Dear Mr. MakiSupaStar,
Please, oh please, change your avatar. Every time I see it, the first thing I do is jump out of my chair, then I can't stop laughing. For the sake of my apparently weak heart, find another picture. Yours Truly, Rich Beck

Yep. I built this network. 354 Macs, and 2 X-Raid Servers. I'm one guy running and maintaining it. I must say that it works great. This shot was taken in my classroom. I have 33 iMacs in it.

I'd empty the contents of his box onto the floor and then say... "What the hell, wheres my free dvd?"
