They make time tables but that itself is such that they have to carry more weight. :laugh:

Care your child to avoid backpain latter.

May be they should be instructed and someone should really make a law that small kids should not have the burden to carry school bag. :)

The education these days just attempts to burden children's mind with more information and hence heavier burden. The syllabus should be short so that book load is less. It is more necessary to create interest in books. When in Class VI, I had small textbook in English but this contained good stories. So, I got more interested and read many more books from school library.

yes right.i remember when i was in school i use to carry 3 copies or two copies for one subject for english and hindi 3+3 and for maths 2 copies and other subjects also along with books and we have to work only in one copy of one subject but have to take them all along with us in our bags.and when in 10th and 12 th standard we have to carry all registers along with those abc book of chemistry and physics and maths reference book also.i used to go from bicycle but when have to carry the bag while climbing stairs we were completely tired. :(

we have to react and say our opinion. I asked the teachers to make all the notebooks of 100 pages instead of the usual 200 pages. This helped to reduce the weight to an extent. The books are too heavy to carry, we also did one more thing. The science textbook was divided into three sections according to the three sections and stitched by hand so that a student need carry only according to portion.

Just to give it a new point of view, a compulsory trolley bags to be provided to the student with a separate files for each subject notes.

Trolley bags?? Would it be feasible to take it from home to school or vice versa? :unsure:

Now worksheet system is introducing in many school.This will help not to bring so many copies daily.

one of my cousin actually have a mini trolley in his school bag already fitted.

But that's not the solution Robin as one can't use it outside school. :)

then what do you say about ebooks, ipads especial designed for kids and worksheet system as suggested by ram.

It's indeed, a distressing sight and looks more like a physical training than education!! May be one day a digital solution would be there. But the point which is of importance is not only the physical dimension of books, what about the mental dimension?

Ebooks,i pads are good solution and it will be a better alternate for those heavy school bags. :)

Those will be limited to chosen few most of the children would still be carrying those books. Even these books are not available to majority of our children.

Yes every one cannot afford it even in government schools where kids hardly get the books how can they be expected to spend that much of money. :(

Government is not able to provide even books in the market timely due to bad planning. Expecting gadgets would only complicate and give them a chance to more corruption.

I am quite surprised that none has looked at the unbearable course content that a kid these days,are prescribed to learn!!

About my girl....she has to take only her lunch and diary.
All her study materials are kept safe at her school.
At home, we do have one set of books to teach her. But that was not my case when I was at my school.
But after UKG, I think, she will have to carry everything :evil:

This is good for children to keep their books in school otherwise they look like a donkeys carrying luggage.
