If you are related to a student, you may answer as well. And please state his (or their) grade, also.
P.S. Also state for how long you carry the backpack around and how much your back hurts (if at all) after carrying it.

My bag was 22 pounds when I was around 14 years old. It was crazy to lug that much weight to school everyday. It hurt quite a lot in the beginning. Luckily, I didn't have to bear with it for long as my parents bought me an ergonomic bag- it reduces the pressure on the back (if i'm not mistaken) so I wouldn't have to hunch. It was a godsend.
You can go to this website for more info on ergonomic bags:
