[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a 15 minute walk and my third grader carries a laptop (mandated by the school) and several textbooks. Also a lunch box and two water bottles. So yes, I sometimes carry the bag for him. It's heavy. [/quote]

FCPS? Yes, same here except the walk is 20 mins. The bag weighs 23 pounds. I’d like to see OP carry over 1/3 of her weight for 40 mins every day. [/quote]

And yet so many of us managed to do just that, walking through our friends to and from school every damn day. I guarantee our pile of textbooks weighed more than your kid’s Chromebook.

Oh, and we don’t have “spinal problems” either.[/quote]

Nope. I brought home maybe a few books per night  in my day. You could buy one of those big rubber bands to put around them. We didn’t have huge metal water bottles either. My doctor advises against carrying this amount of weight but I guess you know better, boomer. [/quote]

Please learn the difference between books and textbooks. You most assuredly could not “rubber band” textbooks together.

Oh, and not even close to a Boomer. You lose on all counts.[/quote]
