And... Shouldn't they have heavy backpacks for you know health?

  If you think kids need more exercise, increase the time spent in gym class/phys-ed.

    Wrong! We should make the backpacks heavier, cut gym/phys-ed altogether, and funnel the resulting surplus into purchasing more educational software[aaS] to confuse and frustrate our children and add to their already burdensome workload.

  I cannot vouch for the accuracy, but I've heard it speculated that heavy backpacks are bad for kids backs.

  Gonna need you to flesh this one out for me. Why would a heavy backpack be healthier? They tend to promote bad posture and back/neck/shoulder problems. The extra weight resistance during walking probably isn't going to outweigh the potential negatives. https://www.nbcnews.com/better/health/why-bags-are-wrecking-our-backs-ncna803541 https://www.nbcnews.com/better/health/why-bags-are-wrecking-...
