[QUOTE="nlj, post: 703089, member: 17650"] Schools in the UK don't have lockers, never have. My daughter carries around a heavy backpack all day, plus flute, sports stuff, cookery equipment, etc depending on what's on the timetable for that day. My older kids lugged all their stuff around, I lugged all mine around in the 1970s. My 12 year old constantly complains of pain in her shoulder, also here in the UK most high school kids go to school without jackets/coats even in the middle of winter because there's nowhere to leave your coat and it's something else to have to carry around all day. There's even more to carry on the way home as they get illiterate letters from illiterate teachers to bring home. o_O Teachers get a staffroom of course. The UK is rife with "one rule for them and one rule for us" mentalities. [/QUOTE]
