lighter schoolbooks? How about teaching those kids to pack their stuff the night before going to school? It's not the weight of the books per se, but that they carry all of them around even when they don't need them. While I certainly agree that the spine will get much more strained when you have to carry much books in a backpack, especially at a younger age, to make the books lighter is certainly not the right way.
Forcing the kids to wear cycle helmets? How about making the parents do their job?
