A teacher needs a tote bag large enough for teacher guides and folders, with comfortable straps, as the current bag's hard PVC straps cause shoulder pain and a backpack doesn't work.

Existing totes either have uncomfortable straps or lack the capacity to hold large teaching materials without bending; backpacks don't work due to personal preference or ergonomic issues.
