Lockers: For the Better
Would you like carrying around twenty pounds each day on your back for multiple hours? Students in schools all over have backpacks that weigh 10-30 pounds. The weight of these bags cause children’s backs to hurt by the end of the day and some end up with permanent damage. Students have heavy textbooks, stolen valuables, and sports bags that all could be put in a locker. Lockers could ease pain, prevent stealing, and help keep kids organized.
A lot of students come home and complaining about the weight of their backpack and how much they have to keep in it. Often students have to carry at least one or two textbooks in their backpacks and commonly heavy binders and notebooks. Many high schools offer sports lockers, but the other non-athletic students and the middle schools are ignored. The backpacks in Junior High are equivalent in weight to backpacks in high school and occasionally heavier. The strain backpacks put on your spine is terrible. Opposers will argue that schools are slowly switching over to technology, but for the time being students have immensely heavy bags and need some relief. Children out here are suffering, would you want that for your children?

Backpacks are spread out around many campuses with laptops, phones, ipods, and other electronics ready to be stolen because students don't have a secure place to keep their backpacks. Lockers are a great way to bring down theft in schools, important items are kept locked away and students can be more relaxed. 55% of phones stolen each year are from schools, some are stolen from lockers, but a lot of school lockers don't have locks. If all lockers had combination locks there shouldn’t be a problem. You don't want to lose your precious phone and spend hundreds on a new one, neither do these
In order to increase productivity and learning time in school, administrators should allow students to carry backpacks to their classes. As a result of bringing backpacks to class, students will come to class prepared and organized, with no reason to return to their locker. Often times students forget their supplies and must utilize class time to retrieve the forgotten materials. With backpacks, students will already have their materials with them, eliminating the need to waste class time. Another advantage of allowing backpacks in class is that it will give students plenty of time to use the restroom between classes as opposed to during lecture time. High schools are notoriously larger than middle and elementary schools, therefore the five-minutes
. In Pros and Cons of School Locker Searches, it states that, " Misplaced Focus: searching lockers can imply to students that they aren't trustworthy. It can ruin the school's attempt to build school community trust and respect." In Article 3 ( Pros and Cons of School Locker Searches- Synonym), it states, " School locker searches also consume valuable time for administrators, security guards, and teacher who conduct them. Student also lose their learning time because of this issue." In addition, Article 3 states, " Because students may keep personal items in their lockers, such as photographs and personal letters, even a search with the best intentions can appear to be a major breach of trust by teachers and administrators, causing a rift between the student body and faculty." Some people may argue that locker searches can keep children safe. It "protects them." But how can locker searches protect the children unless they think something's up. If the children act normal and they have a gun in their backpack, then how does this help keep them safe- if no one's suspicious of
Where as others may believe that this will make the school system more of a bureaucracy. Further more those would also argue that most of the time lockers are hardly involved in the keeping of contrabands. If students have contraband items they are more likely to keep it on them and therefore randomly searching lockers it not as important. The time and energy which would be spent searching lockers could be used in more efficient way.
Firstly, a lot of students agree that we should be allowed to carry backpacks. A poll in our school proves that 19 out of 20 kids say yes to this thesis. Also, many middle schoolers complain about having to carry their stuff with them to all of their classes. It can get really annoying if things keep falling or sliding off. Another thing deals with the lockers. Some lockers are hard to get open and that can be frustrating. Especially when the bell rings and the lockers still won’t open. Having our backpacks with us would be so much easier.
Student safety is very important to schools especially with incidents that have occurred in many schools where shootings and illegal activity have taken place. These dangers can be avoided, and schools have found a way for this to happen by instituting random locker/bag checks. Many students are against locker/bag searches although they are necessary in order to protect the safety of the students on campus and are legal.
In conclusion, even though there are many different pros and cons about searching school lockers humans today need to search them if need when needed.Although school locker searches can be bad in some legal

First and foremost, it makes sure that there is no firearm in the locker. There have been 142 school shootings.

For instance if a girlfrend is stolen or sport position lost to another kid or if a student is getting bullied and
Here are some reasons why i (Capitalize iii)think backpacks should be allowed in school. People usually drop their stuff in the hallways because they were usually carrying to heavy of things. Which causes a distraction for the rest of the hallway AND makes the person who dropped their stuff late too. If you have a backpack then they wouldn’t have a problem because they don’t have to carry any of their things unless they have a really cheap backpack and the bottom of it just rips. One time i forgot who told me this but someone said they were walking in the halls with a backpack and everything was so heavy the backpack finally ripped and everything just poured out.
If you ask a student from any school if they should force kids to wear clear backpacks to prevent anyone from bringing guns or any type of harmful weapon, they are probably going to say no. If you ask their parents, they are most likely going to agree with the school or district because they are going to want their children or child to be safe in school. Should students wear clear backpacks at school? In my opinion, I think they should because that way at least if you see a gun in someone's backpack you'll be aware and you can call the police.
The Leaguetown Middle School wants to get rid of lockers but i don’t think they should because of the following reasons. Ok one reason is well if your in sports you have to put your gym clothes somewhere right? You can’t just walk around with smelly gym clothes. Bleh! Now that’s straight up nasty so students need so have somewhere to put there stuff. And they also have books they get from their classes and they would have to carry them around all day long for eight or nine class periods if they are in high school .
The research conducted to acquire enough data for our report spans over the course of two weeks. Our primary goal was to learn about how the students attending class at the Southeast Portland Community College felt about the locker system on campus. Our team began this research by administering 113 anonymous surveys to the general student population, specifically at the SE campus. Our surveys were only given to enrolled students for the current quarter and diversified by different hours and locations on campus. After surveying students on the Southeast campus, our results indicate
We hold these truths to be obvious, that all students should have the right to use lockers provided by the school. To lessen the amount of weight on the students’ backpacks, all students should be able to keep their sports equipment, dance supplies, band instruments, extra binders, etc... at school in their lockers without having to hassle through the whole school day without all their school requirements.
Countless times I can recall bringing the entirely wrong books and folders to classes because I was in such a rush at my locker.
