In your school life, were textbooks really heavy, so much that it was a burden to take them to and from school? They made my backpacks so heavy. I stopped bringing some of them, when I could sit in groups, and just share. I absolutely hated carry textbooks to and from home, and class to class. What's your experience with textbooks at school?

In the first year of my university life. I still brought my textbooks with me. Indeed it was very heavy and it made me really tired bringing it to classes. It was then when my spirit is still in the peak performance. After several semester, I started to leave those book at home, or put them in a friend's house which closer to the campus, so when I need it, I just ran to the friend's house, take the book and go back to campus. I don't have to bring that from home.

Ugh, textbooks were VERY heavy, and they still are.
In high school, I remember VERY clearly that my World History, American History, World Geography...pretty much every year's history textbook was a real pain to carry around.
I never took it home, and always tried to finish my history homework at lunch or wherever, just so I could keep my book in my locker and not have to lug it home and back.
And now in college, while the books aren't as heavy, you have like 4-5 for every class! In my college history class, I have 5 textbooks!
I guess it's just a part of life...but there has been some recent legislation here in Texas regarding the size and weight of textbooks for kids, and considering making a limit on it. I'm ALL for that!
