How will you study books or notes for homework, if they are at school? I admit that we had a lot of school books to carry when I was young and I occasionally got a sore neck from lugging them around, but I wouldn't call it especially unhealthy. You anyway don't have that many school books until ages 13 and up here (Finland), and by that time you are perfectly capable of carrying things.

Usually this could be solved with a "home copy" for each kid, then "classroom copies" for kids to use in class. Kids still carry their notes, but those weigh a small fraction of what hardback textbooks do.

We didn't have a lot of homework. Only needed to take home a notebook and sometimes a book
