[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am honestly floored the kids do not have lockers or open lunch.  Carrying around all their crap all day.  Never being able to leave and get fresh air and normal food.  That sounds terrible.  [/quote]

"Normal food"? You mean McDonalds?

My kid brings lunch and sits outside with friends whenever the weather is good, or in a quiet hallway otherwise. There's very little around their school to walk to, eat, and be back in time for class.

In a large, crowded school, unless your locker is in between two classes, you'd never have time to get to your locker and be at your next class in the five minutes they have to change classes. At our MS, all the kids had lockers, but it was the same situation: you just couldn't physically manage it. Nobody says you have to carry all your stuff, it's just the only practical way.

Our school assigns lockers to freshmen, but most of them don't (or can't) use them anyway. Upperclass can request them, but there aren't many left over, and most just find a freshman who isn't using theirs and share if they want to stash stuff. Mine kept her lunch and coat in a friend's locker last year, but didn't have time to go in between classes at all.

But it's not like they're carrying around textbooks, like we did in high school. Most kids don't have anything more than a computer and some folders, maybe a few notebooks, possibly a lunch bag. [/quote]
