I wouldn't be surprised if 25kg kids would need to carry 5kg bags. When I was a teen, I had to carry 10kg and I am sure I wasn't over than 35kg at that time. I was particularly slim but not as slim as some kids I am seeing today.

25kg is the average weight of a 7 year old girl, so I think it’s fair to say the youngest lightest average child in school.

Id be interested what Grade 1 girls are carrying around that’s totalling 5kg - that’s three hardcover undergrad physics textbooks lol. And even if they do combine to 5kg, there’s no evidence it causes any harm to children!
