There are no lockers in HS? Why? I’m a transplant and have never heard of such a thing. [/quote]

I don’t get this either. What about winter jackets and sports equipment. [/quote]

They carry it all.  [/quote]

It’s causing a lot of trouble in our household. The binder is always falling apart and too big.

MCPS is crazy cheap

Students don’t even get a locker?!?! [/quote]
Students are offered lockers. Not taking one is a student problem, not MCPS’.  :roll: [/quote]

I agree with this. Last year, my son carried around a massive backpack, along with a lunch and a water bottle. He refused to get a locker because it wasn’t cool. Apparently, there’s some kids out there who make fun of kids who use lockers.  :roll:  or, at least there is a myth of kids who make fun of kids who use lockers. Which means that no kids use lockers!

[b]I guess the school can force everybody to get a locker and not allow backpacks in classrooms. [/b]

Really?  One more rule for teachers to enforce. Or ignore. I mean, pick your battles. If it bothers you, make your kid use his locker. And if you can’t, don’t expect the school to do it for you. [/quote]

Julius West enforced no backpacks in classrooms last year.  Not sure why other schools can not. It's also a safety issue [/quote]

Julius West is a middle school, my MS doesn’t allow backpack in classrooms neither.[/quote]

Normal in middle school.  High school it switches[/quote]

What is the justification for that?[/quote][/quote]

High schools don’t have enough of them.  The high schools are significantly bigger with more kids meaning less time to make it to your locker and to class on time depending on where the classes are located.[/quote]
