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(yè)紙） or thin workbooks for students to take home.

It's good to donate money，of course.（3）然而，大多數(shù)學(xué)生沒有足夠的錢。But they can still donate their used and clothes to the children in the poor areas.If they have a list of charities，they can choose which charity is the best to them and donate their books and clothes to the charity.There are international charities like Oxfam，the Red Cross，ATOP，and so on.Recent disasters such as the tsunami（海嘯） and hurricane（颶風(fēng)）left many people homeless.（4）Many charities are set up to help people build their homes. By giving money to the charities，you can help the people to star their live again.If you don't know much about the charities，you can send your donations to the poor people by yourself.
