I teach in another district, and our students are not allowed backpacks in the classroom because there is not enough room. Some classes have 37 kids in it-plus backpacks make it impossible to move around the room.

Holy crap, 37 kids in one classroom?! Surely that is a violation of state student:teacher ratios! As a parent I would be ****. That is way too many kids to be in one class. 4951
