[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because schools are too big and when you have a few minutes between classes to go to the other side of the building, and maybe use a bathroom, you can't also go to your locker.[/quote]

What? I don’t get it.

I went to a FCPS middle and high school in the 90’s.  We also had just a few minutes to get to our next class but we still used our lockers!

Some high schools are larger than others. [/quote]

My high school had about 600 students in each class! It was not small 😊[/quote]

Perhaps the layout of the school and/or lockers was different so it was easier to go to them? Why aren’t you able to understand that may not be the case for some schools? Some kids truly don’t have enough time to go to their lockers between each class so they need their backpacks with them to carry multiple binders, laptops, lunch etc. to get to class on time.[/quote]
Name a school that is too big? It’s like you are having a hard time understanding that kids and their schedules are flexible and varying. And every school layout allows for the use of lockers in a reasonable way, just not 100% of the time. Sometimes you have two classes on a far end of the building and for those two classes you bring materials for both classes. [b]And on those days you only go to your locker once or twice because you don’t have time.[/b] It’s about options, not right or wrong.[/quote]

You clearly didn’t read my post and just want to argue. I said some kids don’t have time to go to lockers in between EACH class. I didn’t say they shouldn’t be assigned a locker or that there would never be a time to go to their locker at all (I would think at least once in the am to drop coat off and at the end of the day before the bus).

I also said the layout of the school makes a difference in how often students can go to their lockers. For example, back in the 90s South Lakes had 4 different sub schools. Each class (ie. freshman, sophomore) was clustered in one sub school and that’s where their lockers, bathrooms, admin, and most of their classes were. The lockers and classes were in fairly close proximity within the sub school. It is not like this at other high schools that don’t have sub schools.[/quote]
