Regarding option 1, are there any cheap, automated way to attach zippers/buttons to book sections and attach them to the spine?
What about the clothing/luggage/office product industry? Do they have any machines that can attach buttons? (sewing/gluing) Or is this a hand job?

. A "perfect education" system would be one in which a student does NOT have to think "gee, which assignments/quiz/test/classes are the least important so it wouldn't hurt me as much if I forgo carrying to book home tonight." every day.

I disagree : "Knowledge is Power"
Here is a General Statement: "How much Power do you want in your life?"
IMO, A perfect education system is one that doesn't "Pamper the student" but helps the student to realize that to gain knowledge each and everyday is a gift to the human brain
You can quote me on this if you like

What are students going to do in college when they have to carry heavy books if you pamper them in high school? How about when they get to the real world and have a job that requires them to carry heavy things?
As far as a heavy book making students not want to study, thats just too bad for the student. Its pretty sad that the size and weight of a book will make them not study and get worse grades. I have never decided that I wasn't going to study for a test because a book was too big. Quite frankly, if they don't want to study for a test, thats their problem. Making books smaller will not make students do better in school. They will just make different excuses.
There is no sense in pampering children. Instead, we need to hold them accountable. Like I said before, if a student doesn't study for a test, then they will fail. Too bad.

People don't like carrying heavy weights, especially small children with undeveloped backs.
