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]

Do your kids go to some very small private school?   Most public high schools around here literally have thousands of students.    There's no room in the school to give each student two lockers.[/quote]

No, its a Middle school with about 800 students.

And as a different PP mentioned, they are actually required to use their lockers (not their PE ones, though).  No backpacks in the classroom is the policy.  So kids don't go to the locker between every class, but they probably go 3-4 times a day.  [/quote]

Ok, but it's not like that at all middle schools or high schools.
I'd also be surprised if there is really space and time at your kid's school for every student to stand in front of their lockers to change shoes at the end of the day and still make it out on time to catch the school bus.[/quote]

Maybe class could end a bit earlier or the bus could leave a bit later?  This is not some insurmountable problem, FFS.[/quote]

Are you the same pp I just responded to?
Again, a principal can't just shorten class time.    This is a state level mandate and not indicative of a "poorly run school."[/quote]

State mandated class times are obviously an administrative box-checking exercise.  The principal could work around it if they cared.  There are not time auditors in every hallway.  So the “official” class time is whatever the mandate is, with the expectation that there is a “grace period” of a few minutes at the beginning or end.  See?  Problem solved.

We need more administrators to take accountability and stop blaming the big bad state for all of their failings.[/quote]
