The gear required to equip today's student is getting bigger. But the school locker, that shrine to adolescent personal space, is not. I believe that school lockers are too small for 8th graders at Templeton middle school. It is unfair that the 6th and 7th graders get bigger lockers than us. We have more stuff because we are getting ready for high school.I believe it is right to declare for 8th graders to get bigger lockers or move the 7th and 6th graders done to where we are.

As 8th graders are responsibilities are to be prepared from class, not to be late and do all of your homework.But it's hard to do some of that stuff because the lockers are too small, and also they are very hard to get open, unlike the 6th and 7th-grade lockers. …show more content…

They make you use all of your strength to get them open.

The lockers are too close together so when you are trying to get your stuff you can't get through people. Also walking down the hallway you usually get it with a backpack or someone's stuff.

The list of supplies for school students is getting bigger and bigger but the school lockers are getting smaller and smaller. How do teachers expect us, students, to fit everything in there, with our jackets and backpacks?

Some kids at Templeton including me say they can't even bring their winter jackets because they don't fit in the lockers. Also putting the backpack back in the locker is a huge struggle for me and others. Everyday I complain about how these lockers are too small.

They always jam and I have to kick it to get it unstuck, they can't fit all of my stuff I have to kick it to close it half of the time.

Some actions I'm taking to make these 8th-grade lockers a TMS bigger is to talk to the principal about switching 6th and 7th with 8th-grade lockers. Also, talking to teachers about giving us less stuff to buy for school so we can fit the things we actually need in our lockers.

  • Should Backpacks Be Allowed In Schools

    473 Words  | 1 Pages

    First, allowing students to carry backpacks throughout the school day would save everyone time. Since backpacks have multiple compartments, they allow students to carry learning materials like textbooks, calculators, binders, and writing utensils. Students can use backpacks to transport laptops inside dedicated sleeves. As a result, students would waste less time at their lockers searching through debris for assignments and missing homework. Teachers, too, will welcome backpacks when they no longer have to squander valuable minutes writing locker passes. Less locker stops will reduce hallway congestion, expediting travel between classes. Without wasting the teacher’s precious minutes, students can get a drink of water, go to the bathroom, or take care of personal hygiene needs. . Even custodians will appreciate the practicality of backpacks when they are no longer interrupted from their busy jobs to unjam a muddled locker because of cumbersome coats and binders.

  • School Searches of Students' Lockers

    666 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to the National Education Association, at least 100,000 students bring guns to school, 160,000 students skip classes because they fear physical harm, 40 students are killed or hurt by firearms, nearly 6,250 teachers are threatened with bodily injury, and 260 teachers are physically assaulted. These facts are not based on once year, but as every single school day. Could one even imagine what the numbers might look like on scale for a month of school, let alone a whole year? So would starting with searching lockers really be a step to far to try and lower the numbers? Some may think yes due to the school invading the students’ privacy. The majority of people though will say no, doing searches of student’s lockers is not a bad thing. Though there may be a few draw backs to conducting locker searches, the benefit of them far outweigh them. Schools should have the right to do searches of the student lockers because it will deter unwanted things, they have permission under loco parentis, and it would allow administers to make sure for safer schools.

    When someone has a license to carry a concealed firearm, it does not mean that they should be able to carry wherever they would like. No one person is responsible enough for that privilege. In a high stress situation of an active shooter scene, even a highly trained person can make a bad assessment of the situation. Someone that just bought their first firearm or just got their license to carry, can make the situation worse. Firearms should not be allowed on any school campus because they are dangerous, can lead to more gun violence, and more innocent deaths due to inexperience.

  • A Persuasive Essay Against School Uniforms

    654 Words  | 2 Pages

    High school is typically a time when kids begin to distinguish themselves from one another. Students begin to develop their own sense of personal style, desperately trying to both fit in and stand out simultaneously. Being self-conscious and often lacking the confidence needed to assert themselves, teens are forced to use clothing and outward appearance as the means to manifest this individuality. Thus, students should not be forced to wear uniforms to school. Standard uniforms are unproven deterrents to student violence; are a "Band-Aid" to cover up the real problems faced by children and teens; and they violate students' right of self-expression, depriving them of their search for identity.
