There should not be lockers

in middle schools

  • Lockers create a big congestion in one place.
  • May create unnecessary theft objects.
  • Less space in classes or school corridors.
  • Good and safe lockers are expensive.
  • Beneficial storage for books and other material.
  • Organization - helps you to take care and value your own possessions.
  • Improves personal responsibility and time management skills.

One teacher's opinion

I think lockers are necessary to house and protect textbooks and school materials as well as personal belongings during a student's long day at school. It certainly would reduce the strain of carrying heavy backpacks around all day. Sadly, many schools have gotten away from using lockers because of the threat of hiding guns, drugs, bombs, etc. I think this is a ridiculous practice, since the same items could also be placed in a backpack. Certainly, middle and high school students are trustworthy enough to use lockers in a proper manor. Sadly, the few students who misuse lockers are the

ones that cause many administrations to eliminate

their use.

Teen found with drugs in his

school locker

The 16-year-old Birchwood Drive boy, a student at the Lockport Opportunity Project, the district's alternative education building on West Avenue, was charged just after 11 a.m. by city police with unlawful possession of marijuana after he admitted to having marijuana in his book bag.

A teacher told police he walked past the teen's locker and smelled marijuana. A principal using a master key opened the lock and after a search discovered a single marijuana cigarette in the front pocket of the bag, police said.
