Authosr's Arguments To Support The Ban Of Backpacks

The author provided three arguments to support the ban of backpacks in classrooms. The authosr's use of language is organized, however, the author did not effectively provide strong evidences to support his arguments, many of his arguments are have little logical connection with the topic. There are also many redundant points which decreases the effectiveness of the argument. Therefore the strength of his argument is not solid.

In the author's first argument, the author argued backpacks are a hinderance to safety in classrooms. I do agree that backpacks in the class poses a safety risk for tripping, crime and theft. This argument is fairly well supported by the author.

In the second argument, the author writes that the use of backpacks may

cause physical injuries due to heavy text book and students may run into each other. I believe this evidence have little logical connection with the point he is attempting to prove. Heavy backpacks and bad habits does contribute to physical injuries, but this applies to outside of the class room as well. Using this argument is straying away from the topic, this argument is not only supporting the ban of backpacks in classrooms but the use of backpacks in general, as the threat exist everywhere.
Finally, the author suggest that the use of backpacks contribute to the decrease in organizational skills and by banning backpacks in classrooms, the organizational skills of students will be developed. This argument have the same problem as the previous one. Organizational skills and its development is completely dependent on different individuals. Backpacks have little connection with the hinderance in the development of organizational skills, in fact, it acts more as a tool for individuals to organize their work and increases the productivity of students. Banning backpacks in classrooms will only create more chaos in the classroom rather than developing individual's organizational skills.

Overall, the author provided a decent argument, but need to work on the strength of the evidences (increase relativity and logic in argument) to support his idea.
