With weight as equivalent to eight kgs, almost one third of their total weight; they walk, carrying their bags to schools. This is the bitter reality of private schools of different countries. I pondered why they have to carry such heavy loads on their slender shoulder. Doctors say it shouldn't be more than 10 percent of their total bodyweight. I did enquiry with some of the kids myself on that note. The responds I was replied to, really astonished me. They do it because of their schools' pressure, asking them to bring all the books and copies.
