The Girton High School in Grant Road has tried to make light of things. Specifically, the oft criticized overweight school bag. They have introduced a custom-made, cloth, sling bag for their students so that they don’t have to carry heavy bags and have made it compulsory. However, this has angered many parents, who are unhappy with its design.

Parents have objected to the design of the Girton High’s school bag, saying it has only one compartment, isn’t waterproof and since it is a sling, the weight completely falls on one shoulder. Pics/Datta Kumbhar
