That's partly correct. When I was in high school we went to our lockers before every class, got the stuff we needed, and went to class. I never had more than 3 books at any time. They want less students loitering in the hallways and making fewer locker trips for whatever reason (drugs/weapons) and to do this they need to carry more books. Having a 90lb freshman carry around 3-4 periods worth of books is a little much. But to make it a rule they must have a rolling bookbag is a little much as well. If they mandate that I think they need to at least reinstate dodgeball.

Edit: If you look at this search,
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...gs&btnG=Search , many of them are stating you're not allowed to have rolling bookbags. They're mostly k-6 though and do not travel between classes.
