Troll fail.[/quote]

Excuse me?  Do you mean the person claiming it’s literally impossible to change into shoes at their school is a troll?[/quote]

“Garbage excuse for a school” because kids can’t change boots? Where do expect them to do it, in the crowded hallway or locker area while standing up? Go away crazy lady. [/quote]

Yes in the locker area while standing up. Presumably teens are in good enough shape that bending down isn’t life threatening [/quote]

What locker area?  Have you even been in a MS or HS this decade?  There are no lockers, let alone locker areas.  [/quote]

I dunno.  You may want to consider that some school districts may be different than yours.

My kids have 2 lockers.  One in the hallway, and one in the gym lockeroom[/quote]

I think it's the people that feel that kids should wear boots/hats/coats/gloves that need to understand that not all schools are like the ones their kids go to where they have facilities and time to store their shit.[/quote]

I think it’s crazy that so many parents just ACCEPT schools that are so poorly run that their kids can’t even wear GD coats in the winter.[/quote]

DD’s school has lockers. There is just no time to go to the lockers, so she carries a 20 lbs. backpack all day long.  This is the reason lots of schools either don’t have lockers, or don’t assign them unless requested. The kids simply do not use them.

As for coats, if she had to stop and retrieve her coat from her locker, she’ll miss her bus. As it is, she has missed it a couple of times because she has to run to the opposite end of the school to retrieve her instrument first. [/quote]

And everything you mentioned is more evidence that the school is poorly run.  I assume the school schedule isn’t on stone tablets personally delivered to the administrators by Moses.[/quote]

I'm not the pp you quoted, but how would you "run" the school differently?[/quote]

Step 1: Shorten each class by a few minutes to give kids time to do what they need to do between or after classes (e.g. make it to their bus on time, put their coat in their locker {and every kid should absolutely have a locker}, change out of their disgusting wet, muddy shoes, etc.)[/quote]

Principals choose shorter passing periods to reduce problems (fighting).  I think it is another way that kids these days have reduced socialization, but I know why they do it.  Instead of just being clueless.[/quote]
