This bag is a lot bigger than expected. As a teacher is will come in handy. It is big enough to carry a laptop, papers to grade, a lunch tote, and even my purse. It will make a great weekend tote as well. The outside material seems durable and I like that it can be wiped down and sanitized. I bought this because of a shoulder injury but even after I heal I'll continue to use it. No need to lug tons of stuff back and forth from the classroom to the car.
