However, if I HAD to go to a locker between classes, I would frequently be late because the lockers were in stupid places and I'd end up with a locker on the NW corner that I would have had to walk to from the NE corner to get a book to go to a class on the SE corner, and there really would not have been time for that as the campus was pretty sprawled out.

Meh, my HS was spread out and didn't allow bags. It was just a matter of planning ahead and carrying the books for 2 or 3 classes at a time so that you only needed to stop at your locker 2-3 times a day instead of between every class. You'd just time it so you switched books when your normal walk to the next class took you close to your locker.

EDIT: Granted, we had 5 minutes between classes. It's insane that schools are shortening the time to anything less than that. It's not like the extra few minutes from compressing that time is really going to be useful in a school day.

Glad to see you support communism. Anti-distraction? ROFL. A Backpack isn't going to prevent me from learning, thanks though. Anti-congestion? How hard is it to avoid someone with their backpack on? You hit me with your backpack, you're getting shoved. It's that simple.

What kind of ghetto high schools did you guys go to?

Its NOT the ghetto. Thats the problem.
Its prissy little spoiled white suburbanites who shit bricks at the rumor of something naughty going on.
A girl wears a halter top and a guy brushes up against her in the lunch line.
She sues the school and the boys family for 10 million bucks and the school moves straight to uniforms that everyone hates. The girl in question has already graduated by the time they get the uniforms.
All males must go through sensitivity training in order to graduate.

i was never allowed to carry my bag around hs.

 

[AmpedSilence]

eh, I don't think I ever used my bag in between classes. My locker was always on my way to classes. I planned my classes that way, so I would only have to carry one thing at a time. Made life easy. and NO BAGS TO WORRY ABOUT!!! YAY!!!

IMO, it has nothing to do with the ghetto, and largely to do with various events (particularly Columbine's) having huge influence and still affecting school policies. I was a freshman in college when Columbine happened. But my mom still received the school newsletter. Almost immediately, backpacks, long coats and "black outfits" (like black metal band shirts with black jeans and boots) were banned at my old highschoo, among other thingsl.

Eventually some of those policies were repealed (like the black outfits one), but I'm not sure about the others. Knee-jerk reactions FTL.

And this is news why?

Any high school with a gang problem or in a less-than-nice area already does this...

hehe Goetz. I wonder if she has Goetz sex.

QFT...I heard of this over 10 years ago...in my day (80's).

The main problem I have read and seen is usually the kids aren't using the bags to carry books.

Still it's parents calling for this crap meanwhile those same parents probably have their kids sneaking contraband in.

In this day and age the solution would be have a classroom set of books and have them available electronically for home use. Eliminates a ton of resource issues. However, book sellers would not care for this and at the college level it's part of a profit chain that electronic versions would kill.

Another clueless dude. You are thinking pads. A pantyliner would hardly be noticable even under direct observation of the area.

Also a period is hardly 'gushing' even on the heaviest of flow.

 

[pontifex]

At my school there wasn't enough time to go to your locker between classes unless your locker was right next to your next class.

 

[Auryg]

My school made this rule after several bomb threats (small school too, my class was about 140 people). Of course, nobody followed it as it's absolutely retarded.

This kind of policy is becoming rather common place. The high school I went to and my little sister is currently at enacted this same thing last year. Then THIS year, they changed passing time from 10 minutes to 4. This is a three story HUGE school, and the students now have 4 minutes to get from one class, to the locker, and to the next class. And, get this, when the bell rings, the teachers are instructed to lock the doors and not allow access to tardy students. Anyone caught in the hall after the bell rings has to go sit in the cafeteria, where they aren't allowed to do ANYTHING. They cant read, do homework, sleep, they have to sit there for the duration of the class and stare off into space. So due to the administration's bad policy, students who WANT to show up to class and learn but are unable to make it in 4 minutes, are punished by not being able to learn anything at all!

That is FUCKING BULLSHIT.

No, I am not clueless. You must be from a time before women wore thongs to avoid panty lines. Pads and liners are a no go. Panty lines are something they try to avoid, do you really think they'd want anything extra there?

I didn't think this was uncommon... I've heard of quite a few schools who don't allow bags to be carried around during the day. *shrugs*
