A 60 pound kid should not have more than 5 pounds in his backpack and that includes his backpack. One textbook a couple of notebooks a lunch and a backpack is over 5 pounds. A 70 pound kid can have 10 pounds. More than that they can get back and shoulder problems and the district can be liable for that too. Do the fat kids get more homework then the skinny kids because they can carry more?
Speaking frankly I am more worried about take-home books in middle and high school. That is where our schools really go down the shitter.
