My back hurts just reading this thread. I say, just drop out of school.

I should taunt you that so far one of my classes has only one book, another has only one paperback workbook, and the third nothing but the stuff available online. But if I do that, dollars to donuts my fourth class will have three hardbacks and a coursepak. So I'll just offer sympathy.

Wait - no lockers? So you never get that thrill of coming back after a holiday and realizing you can't really remember your combination so you try to not think about it and hope muscle memory will take over?

I go back and forth between 5th and 6th. I used to keep the same kids for two years. Last year I had 5th and will have 5th again this year. All new kids. I love 6th, I hope she does too. Does her 6th grade still go to elementary or is it middle school? We are elementary K-6, middle 7-8, high 9-12. I like keeping the 6th graders away from 8th graders. So much better on their self-esteem and behavior.

Sorry about the book issue. Hopefully the teachers will let you know when you must have it so it will help with the load. Welcome back to school!

Yeah, she's still in elementary school. Funny story...when we lived in the Valley, I graduated from 5th grade, and I attended middle school as a 6th grader for a few months. Then, I moved out here, and attended 6th grade as an elementary kid for the rest of the school year, before graduating again and moving on to junior high for 7th grade

We had lockers when I went to middle school (as a 6th grader) in the valley. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. They took them out of all the schools out here about 8 years ago.

High school lockers went extinct in California not long after Columbine. Maybe the experts in charge decided it would be more convenient for the kids if they have their piece within arm's reach at all times.

So, how many hernias are reported each year?

I think you should sell your books and buy some weed, since it is no doubt easier to transport.

Well...considering my least expensive textbook is $112 and the most expensive is $225, thats not such a bad idea...

The best method of conveyance for both weed and heavy backpack is a mule.
