What I carry home varies everyday. It depends on what classes I have, and whether I leave my Maths textbook at school. On a packed day, I usually carry:
Maths Textbook
Maths Book
English Folder (with book and loose pages)
PE clothes (to change into at school during PE)
History/Geography folders
a novel for reading time
+writing books for all my classes

I weigh 99 pounds- which means I shouldn't carry more that 9.9 pounds in my bookbag, but usually I have about 10 pounds.

Hrm...not much. It still hurts, but eh.
Today my mom picked me up because I was bringing my textbooks home - we have a home and school set - but I had:
-A book (The Notebook)
-A binder
-6 textbooks
-Tons of writing tools (pens, pencils, markers, colored pencils)
-A paperback textbook for english
Usually it's that much or so minus the textbooks. And I just brought a book to school for the first time today. ;p I don't know how much it weighs though.

I don't take anything back home. I always leave my backpack, books, and lots of other stuff at school. There's no need to bring them home, unless I have to study for some test.
I usually don't have more than 4 books in my backpack. And it weighs nothing.
I sometimes forget I am carrying all that. 
Oh, and I weigh like, 175 pounds:P So really, the backpack is nothing.

I bring home whatever I brought to school. So, it depends on what classes I had that day. Usually it's not too bad, though I noticed quite a strain when I had maths and history on the same day...the only two subjects I have textbooks for. =P

Well since we have no lockers, there are different classes each day, and every teacher wants us to use a binder for their class, it could get pretty heavy.And lets not forget the books...
But my back is pretty messed up as it is.

There's a local recommendation that a student should not carry more than a certain percentage of their body weight as students here tend to have absolutely enormous bags. Perhaps it was 20%?
I weighed by bag once 3 years ago. It was 25 lbs. I was roughly 100 lbs so it was quite a bit anyway.
I use folders - as in what I think people call binders. Folders/files/arch files, those big things, as we're required to. I tend to keep all of last year's notes in them as well since I like to refer to them when they're needed (and cause there's nowhere to put them at home yet). I may have three to five subjects worth of folders to bring home a day (each subject has a folder), not including art portfolio or PE kit.
Since I don't fancy carrying five folders and an art portfolio (which is pretty big), I usually take the pieces I need for homework and slide them into a plastic wallet I call my "homework" folder. It makes it a lot lighter as well, and much easier to carry.

Well, there are certain things I *must* carry around every day (I go to the freshmen school for math in the morning, so I can't leave my math stuff in my locker at the jr. high). Then you add the books and other binders I need that day. So usually, I have:
-One or two textbooks
-One or two binders
-Two or three notebooks/composition book
Not as bad as it could be, I suppose.

DM was on fire! wrote:Absolutely nothing, since I'm homeschooled. However, I do have a lot of notes if I have a quiz.
Oh yeah.

Ditto! But, not for long because I'm going to college the spring coming up and I'll be lugging school books around then.
OK, we're both TT fans, we're both homeschooled, are we twins by any chance? XD

Wow, Chass, OR you could put the backpack on the scale!?
Err, we don't have lockers etc. So I take to and from school the books that I need for the days lessons (we have a different timetable for each day)
