Re: A similar problem
Thankfully, our kiddoes' school has taken this one up:
The parents said, "If weight is the problem, why not buy one more set of textbooks to keep in the classroom, and issue 'take-home' books to lend for the year for homework?"
The backpacks are now filled with folders, paperback books and the usual light weight writing essentials.
"PS-- Re: textbooks. Has anyone else here noticed that the bulk of a textbook is often inversely proportional to the quality of its content?"
Some could be, Mary Anne. So far, so good here. Math, Science and history deserve lots of room.
