Human: My kids have so many schoolbooks and I feel that it's bad for their backs. What can I tell their teacher?

Assistant: If you have concerns about their learning, you could also just talk to the teacher about that. But let me say first that I understand that you may also feel pressured by what their classmates are having to bring home, and that the logistics of caring for kids with a lot of school books can be challenging, and that kids having to haul books can be bad for their backs. I think what you want is a way to express the importance of helping them with their school work, which is certainly your prerogative as a parent.

Assistant: This sounds like a question I might consider asking a guidance counselor or other school employee. I don’t have much of an idea about how to help there. But I can try to find you some further information, if that helps.
