[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So kids not having enough time to go to lockers because of their supersize schools is yet ANOTHER reason APS needs ANOTHER high school.

Let me guess, HBW have lockers and use them because their school is not 3000 people crammed in a 2000 person building.

In the short term why not simply give the kids [b]10 minute break[/b]?[/quote]

They get a lunch break.  With block scheduling, they should only need to carry materials for a few classes at a time and then change out during lunch.  [/quote]

PP said they don’t have time in between to use lockers. Obviously we want to encourage them to keep phones in lockers so allowing enough time on between classes to facilitate that is worthwhile.

And HBW has enough time because they have a smaller school with less kids so less of a marathon. Will WL kids have lockers in the annex?[/quote]

My point is that they don't necessarily have to go to lockers between classes; they can go mid-way through the day during their lunch break.

What does having time between classes to go to lockers have to do with keeping their phones in lockers? They can put phones in lockers before their first class. And if they can't do that for whatever reason, they can turn them off and put them in their backpacks.  I don't care if they're in lockers or muted in backpacks, as long as they're not out or audible during class.

Also, not all kids can even get lockers if they wanted them because there are more students than lockers.[/quote]
