I came to this conclusion after carefully observing my first daughter every day.
That’s why I always have a go at help my dearest daughter carry her bag whenever I can.
The real equation should be: more subjects means more burden to students, both physically and mentally.
And bigger burden also equal to lesser ability to concentrate on the studying.
Changing the school curriculum is not an easy job and require years of persistence.
It’s an almost impossible job for an ordinary person like us.
But lessening the weight of the books is very doable.
Electronic books are no alien to people with a computer.
Imagine students (and teachers) with no physical books.
They carry all their books in digital format inside one single electronic rig.
It will surely lighten up the weight - literally.
And as a bonus, their books can contain much more than just mere text and pictures.
There are already gadgets built to replace printed books.
Laptops are also common alternatives to e-book readers.
But the one that I think would change the rules of the game is Apple’s soon-to-be-released iPad.
Apple even goes as far as collaborating with major book and newspaper publishers and creating their own e-book store.
They have also given the name “iBook” to this digital format electronic book.
But you might also create your own electronic books in ePub format.
Here are two free multiplatform tools to create iBooks - a.k.a: ePub books.
Do you know other alternatives to free multiplatform ePub publishers for creating iBooks?
