17.Are you carrying too much on your back at school?Lots of kids at the same age are as you are.Not only are students in China have this problem,but kids in the United States have heavy school bags. Experts worry that young students are having back and neck problems because their schoolbags are too heavy for them."It's hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it's so heavy,"said Rick Hammond,an ll-year-old student in the US. But how much is too much ?Experts say students should carry no more than 15% of their own body weight.Scott Bautch,a back doctor,says kids under Grade 4 should stay with less than 10%.It's also important that other kids don't stay with 15%,because their bodies are still growing.Parents and teachers are starting to tell the kids to only take home the books they will read that night.Some teachers are using worksheets(作業紙) or thin workbooks for students to take home. One of the best answers is,as some children said,to have no homework at all.
