So they have to keep all books at home and remember which block of books to bring?
Books? Lol, they don't have books.
+1
Maybe they have a book for English to bring home, but that’s usually a paperback. Otherwise no books.

Lockers are not a thing today for high schools in general.
Private school kids use lockers but the school is smaller and they have actual books.
I went to visitation and never used my locker.

Physical textbooks were phased out around a decade ago now. Public schools still have them though, and students can still use them should they desire.
The pendulum is swinging back partially towards physical note taking and physical books.
