[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 703194, member: 1233"] They wanted to take out the lockers and the doctors in our town had a MAJOR fit. It is a serious health issue for children to carry so much weight on their backs all day and our schools will not permit the wheeled backpacks in the hallways, claiming they are a falling hazard. This is about the only issue that the pediatricians, orthopedic doctors and chiropractors in our town have ALL come together on and said NO on. They cited studies with a certain percentage of body weight over which it is dangerous to carry, especially for the developing body. Having all of the doctors coming together before the school board in a united front stopped all efforts to get lockers removed from the schools for any reasons. [/QUOTE]
