"No heave back packs!!!"
"It will never end until the contracts with the publishers are revised. "
"I totally agree... the manufacturers should make the books lighter or alternate work"
"I signed this, because, being a Freshman in High School, I get a TON homework and my back ALWAYS hurts when I get home from school."
"My daughter was injured and suffers with back problems today regarding heavy backpacks in school. There should be some alternative set up in each school to help with this health problem for our children."
