Hi friends, I am discussing about school kids. In india mainly the private school managements puts burden on school children. Daily they carry approximately 10 to 15kgs. They private school management wants ranks and they said that "we are not putting burden on student, it is the building of their future". Friends is studies only important for a school student?

It is the same all over the world. More books to carry and heavier as well. Students need to be careful not to injure their back permanently by carrying the books too much or the wrong way.

The weightage of the school backs are not used in their future, how much knowledge they gain in the school. This is important. Even in my school days also i carry few books only. I am the class first.

hi rameshchow thats so sad as hauling those heavy books is] a real strain on little bodies. why on earth cannot they build the children's futures a little more slowly.less books, less 'study and some freedom as they are just little children. I see the same thing here in t he US. I am a senior citizen and I have seen the looks on the little faces as they push a cart-like affair with a whole slew of books on it,it seems like they are trying to educate them to high school while they are yet in primary school.what in the world is the hurry?

That much of heavy weights are not good. The main aim of the teaching is to learn knowledge and make bright their minds with new thoughts. But now a days the school managements run the schools with unskilled teachers. They have are not capable to enlighten the children's mind.

I have always thought schools put too much on students. They expect children to be adults before they reach high school. They are not allowed to have a childhood anymore these days. It is just rediculous if you ask me. Children these days are learning more in kindergarten then I learned in the third grade. I think kids need more social time, otherwise I think our future will be trash. They need to know that they need more than work in their lives. Otherwise they will grow up thinking all they need to be happy is to work, then when they live that life and never really experience love or family life, they will in turn be unhappy and not really experience life i think. Good topic discussion.

Actually the students in China all suffer a heavy study pressure. Their bags are also quite heavy. Today even some bags are designed as the luggage with wheels. And their main goal seems to be study. They have so many homework everyday and their spare time are full of extra classes. They have little time for themselves. I try to decrease the burden for my child. It is not a good way to study like this. I love China

Of course education is very important but they should be having fun to. Let them be children as long as they can. They grow up to fast as it is.

This problem is mainly in private schools and something should be done about it. My two cousins who stduy in 3 and 1 standard are facing this problem. They have more books then i used to study when i was in 12 standard. Its so tedious that you forget the count of books. There school bags are more heavier than my travelling bag. when they come from school you can see the tiredness on their face. They are just relieved to throw the bag away.
