Your kids carry around an 8” thick stack of books all day long? Your kids must be the only ones who do this. Kids I know visit their lockers several times a day to swap out books. I personally have never met anyone who carries an 8” stack of books on them all day.

I carried easily that much when I was in school.

8” stack is nothing. A typical high school junior at our school is probably carrying 12” - think US History book (mine back in the day was 3” - same book I saw as a freshman at Univ. of Ill, btw!), advanced chemistry, 3rd year foreign language, a stack of paperbooks for the Lit class, etc.

My oldest does, my other usually has 2 or 3, but our HS is so big she doesn’t have time to get to her locker and back to the other side of the school in time. Maybe this year she will have classes closer.

My children do as well. There is no time to hit a locker between classes.
It’s very common these days, hence the popularity of rolling backpacks.
