I agree with all of your points. Now that my son is in college I’m not making the annual school supply trek any longer but I always invested in good, sturdy backpacks and never in designer anything!

Hello,
I just wanted to point out that in your pencil selection, mechanical pencils will “break often, unnecessarily exposing your children to lead.” Pencils don’t contain lead. They contain something called graphite, which is made of carbon. You can see this easily because the pencil tips are very light, whereas lead is heavy and a dull, soft metal. Lead’s softness means it will bend instead of break.
