Calax Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 <.> At least the guy isn't in cali public schools... you get enough books that you have 2 choices, rolling luggage, or a backpack (with the breaking of your back as an added benefit.) Just how much are we talking about here? My backpack was never lighter than 40 pounds throughout my high school career. Wasn't much lighter during elementary. Mine was lighter during elementary but it just kept getting heavier. When it really hits you depends on the school, most schools will now have a class series of books so the students won't have to haul around so many books. Oh and taks, prepare for the tests to see if the kid is ready for the test to see if the kid is ready for the test to see if the kid is ready for the SATs Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Blarghagh Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hm... I've had one year of college, six years of high school and eight years of elementary school... that makes fifteen years, and I'm nineteen. I guess that means I started elementary school when I was four. I know I've done at least a year of pre-school, so at the latest I started pre-school at 3. So do most kids in Holland I think. However, our school system is radically different than yours I imagine. (For one thing, the heavy backpack problem doesn't start until high school here. All the elementary school books have to be supplied by the school!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taks Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Oh and taks, prepare for the tests to see if the kid is ready for the test to see if the kid is ready for the test to see if the kid is ready for the SATs i don't relish that... of course, i'm on record nearly everywhere stating that i think federal involvement in education is a joke. the massive testing they now must perform is part of that joke. even if john stays out of the public system, he'll still have to take the same tests. grrr. i don't ever recall carrying a backpack to school, btw. john's got a bunch of stuff, a bag with a couple clothes changes, a lunchbox, a backpack... sheesh. taks comrade taks... just because.

Deraldin Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (For one thing, the heavy backpack problem doesn't start until high school here. All the elementary school books have to be supplied by the school!) I was exaggerating at little bit. It didn't start for me until grade seven which would have only been two years before I started high school. Up until that time we had all our classes in one room and could therefore just keep everything in our desks, except for pencils, because people were jerks and kept stealing mine. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deraldin Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 all elementary and secondary books are supplied by the school here. sometimes you have homework, however. taks It's the same here. I just never used my locker. If it wasn't in my backpack, then I didn't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromnir Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) all elementary and secondary books are supplied by the school here. sometimes you have homework, however. taks by the time your son is in high school there probably won't be no textbooks anymore. and Gromnir loves standardized tests. the the federal bell-curve were invented so that we coulds stomp on our peers and embarrass our teachers. if meaning o' life were filling in the correct bubbles with a number 2 pencil, then Gromnir would be king o' the world. oh, and just so that we is all clear, Gromnir acknowledges that our preternatural ability to bust standardized tests is pretty much proof that they is worthless. HA! Good Fun!
