A good solution to the hazard of book bags in the floor, causing people to
trip over them...is to buy an inexpensive set of book shelves ($30 at
Wal-Mart), put close to the entrance, and require students to leave their
book bags there...or have a place near the door where they can put them on
the floor.

Usually, there is room under their table, but they just don't get the book
bags that far. I tell them if I trip over one...out in the hall it goes.
