For most, school is back in full swing-Fully equipped with very, very full backpacks. I personally think it is unhealthy for a 100-120 pound (~45-54 kg) person to carry 20 pounds (~9 kg) of books possibly along with an instrument, lunch, and sports gear (if they participate in sports).

So--what do you carry home every day, whether it be from school or work?

Basically everything. My instrument is to heavy and big to stuff into my back pack. But my shoulders should be fine. I'm a pretty big guy anyway.

Absolutely nothing, since I'm homeschooled. However, I do have a lot of notes if I have a quiz.

Usually either my Maths textbook, my Legal textbook, or my Business Management textbook - sometimes all three at once -_-
My usual books for homework, and sometimes my clarinet, depending if I had band or not.

I work by a more different system than most high school students- I use plastic folder-duotangs for each subject, all colour coded, haha. Red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, purple, and a series of clear folders. However, a few teachers of mine this year have forced me to wreck parts of this system by requiring binders, so that could mean my backpack will erm...overload.

I carry every single subject with me, and take textbooks home only if needed for an assignment. I also carry the obligatory silent reading book (unfortunately right now, I'm reading a large hardcover book), a pencil case, a pack of 200 lined sheets of paper, my graphing calculator, my agenda, my cell phone, my wallet, my gym lock, my drumsticks, and soon- my umbrella. The folder system keeps it all lighter than what the weight would normally be for some person.

(Binders suck! )

Not sure yet, as I'm going to a new school. Last year, I had a binder-type thing, a few folders, a book, two notebooks, a Spanish textbook, a thick math textbook, and some other stuff.

Like two inch-thick books and like three binders and a really fat folder which makes my backpack weigh like fifteen pounds...

Good thing I take a bus so I don't have to walk with all that.

You have no idea how much I have to agree with that.

Any homework that requires a book I do in homeroom or lunch if I can. And if I do have a lot of homework in books, I make it so I just take home the lightest ones.

But in my backpack I always have my Spanish binder, a lot of times a social studies bunder, a calculator, folders, and a sweatshirt. I like to carry as little as possible. (and do as little homework at home as possible. )

Ditto! But, not for long because I'm going to college the spring coming up and I'll be lugging school books around then.

I can not wait until they issue out lockers, which will be next week!! Woohoo!!

I have three binders and two notebooks... and quite soon, I will have a geography textbook and most likely a Algebra textbook and a Spanish textbook. -_-

Thoughts are like buttons!!!

I had two binders, one for algebra and one for science, and I usually have to bring at least one home and sometimes both. Along with those 2 binders there are 2 books to go along with them. Plus a 3 subject notebook for French, English, and History, French book, agenda book, some folders, calculator, pens and pencils, and my vocabulary book. Then I have a book for history and a literature book for English.

Thank God for 6th period study. I get a lot of homework done. If I finish it all then that just leaves any science homework, which is 7th.

Any homework I may have that given night, and occasionally my baritone.

Ahh... I remember the days of insanely heavy backpacks well.

Some of you guys should weigh your backpacks. The easiest way is to step on a scale wearing your backpack, and then take off your backpack, and the difference is the weight of the backpack.
