Can you answer Mastiff4me's question about backpacks?:

I volunteer at a middle school and their backpacks are crazy heavy. I'm looking for solutions to present to the school board. They do not have lockers nor is that an option. Do any of the schools you attend have two sets of books? One that goes home and one that stay's at school. Do the parents purchase the ones that stay at home? How does that process work. Any other suggestions? It is just too much for a 90 pound 7th grader to carry a backpack that weighs 30 pounds. They have five text books that are required to come home each day. HELP!
