I love that you are thinking of that! I fear it is an uphill ( no pun intended) battle. Maybe, though, If a lot of parents are saying the same thing it will eventually become a trend?
Northampton High School provides a set of texts that stays in the classroom. Students keep their own text home. No one there carries a text back and forth.
