Ok, anyway school was "welcoming" me again with so many new friends, new class, new teachers, and dawns ofcourse.
On the 4th day of my first week i learned again about creative thinking. But now its called a bit different, we called it Design Process class.
It didn't have so many differences between them actually, because as what we've learned before, how to design, create, imagine, solve, mind map, and etcetera we'll be learning it all again in this class.
Back to the first topic, let's talk about the class. It was quite interesting. Ms. Mariene Yang and Mr. Ang Chiat will be our lecturers for the next 14 weeks for this lessons. The first thing we did was getting in our new groups, based on our names and classes. We were united with class D hehehe...
And yeaahh i lost the scissor paper rock kind of game, and i became the leader of my group.
And i'm in the 4th group. Me, Gaby, Glory, and Pauline.
That first lesson gave us so many topics to choose. And we decided to pick "Children bags' too heavy." It was based on our "very quick" brainstorm and discussion on our table.
And our very first meeting will be held next week, before the class started.
Buuutttt, my own opinion about our topic is not as simple as that "kiddy colourful backpack".
The first reason from me personally, it's a big big problem which has started since they're really young. The biggest factor is ofcourse the curriculum of the education. The light books are really rare to find nowadays. Especially those that titled history, or something as thick as a Holly Bible. The next reason is the "less care" of their parents. Every single day, the lessons from normal junior high school or even from elementary school will always change. Some parents even don't look care a lot about that. So their children just pack all their one day book package in their bags, then carry it half of day. And somehow, the bag's quality can be a big problem. Because perhaps it doesn't complete the standard quality of how it supposed to be. Then it doesn't support the weight of children's belongings as well. So some back and humped problem will be coming soon.
And here are my secondary research according to the topic....
"Despite parents' best efforts to protect their children from getting hurt, one of the greatest sources of potential injury which often goes unnoticed is the school backpack. According to a report in NewsWise, the school bag carried by children everyday causes pain and fatigue to as many as 50 per cent of children today. "
"Children carrying this kind of weight can develop serious back pain and other problems that can require treatment," says Avrom Gart, Medical Director at the Cedars-Sinai Institute for Spinal Disorders.
"To manage the load, children sometimes arch their backs or lean forward, causing them to develop poor posture as they grow,"
