Give me some reasons why we should have lockers in school?
487878
because lockers help kids organize their belongings. Also, if we didnt have lockers, we would have to carry everything in our bags the whole day, and i know that my bag would get pretty heavy. Instead, i get to go to my lockers at lunch to get everything that i need for the evening, and put away everything i needed for the morning. Tell me if this helped you by making this the best answer please.

Well School Uniforms are a very good thing. Firstly, they bring in this sense of discipline in you and also stands for the honor of the institution you study in. They also bring a sense of equality among all the students which is very essential because both rich and poor should be treated alike when it comes to education. And, Hey.. we all like dressing up in our uniform every morning and going to school with so many gr8 hopes.. Dont we?

I don't think Cell Phones and PDAs should be allowed since students may spend lot of time playing with (and showing off) the  cool features of these gadgets. Also, some features can be misused (eg. camera phones). For communicating during emergency situations, I am sure school phones can be used.

Students should be allowed to have them because not only does it serve to protect them but it also enables them to be reached in times of an emergency...however they should be switched off during class.

Pros:  \nYou get much more freedom than middle school.\nYou have a lot more friends to choose from.\nYou have a lot more activities to choose from.\nYou'll get to pick some of your classes.\nKids aren't as mean as they are in middle school.\n\nCons:\nYou won't realize that high school is just a very small, itty-bitty, teeny weeny part of your life until long after you've graduated.  So everything that happens to you will seem like the biggest deal in the world.  (But I guess everything in life is like this!)

Yes. They have too even though it is a breach of privacy. It is a safety issue what if the kid has drugs, weapons, or the like. You have take into consideration the safety of all the kids in the school versus the privacy of one. i know it sucks to have your privacy breached but safety is more important and legally the locker is the school's propery yopu don't own or rent it so they can look in any time you want. Hope this helps. :)

Sadly, I think that in all urban areas, they should do this. But, this just dosen't happen in cities, it's starting to happen in suburbia as well. I think that it is up to the school itself. If you know you're in an area where there is a rapid growth of gangs or gang-like activities, then it should be a no brainer. As for suburban area schools, I think that a medal detector may be a little too much but that they should have at least a couple of guards on hand. Just in case. In five years, I predict that a fourth of America's schools won't have medal detectors of any kind. Because that's how bad it is going to get. Sad.

The standard arguments are that they  reduce social friction,\nsave money, make it easier to identify students and non students, help establish a studious atmosphere, increase school spirit and focus more attention on education.\nI know you asked for positive arguments  but I'd like to share my experiences.\n My experience with public schools that required uniforms was that  none of these  arguments actually  held up in real use  over time. Social friction etc. still occurs, We found that the  Uniforms were so poorly made that they tore and  wore out  in a  very short  time even  before being outgrown which happened 3 or 4 times in a school year.  Uniforms are only available in a limited range of sizes,  small and large children had extreme difficulty finding uniforms.  They were so uncomfortable that  many children could not study.\n The local schools still have uniform requirements and originally there was almost 100% compliance now  8 years after  instituting mandated  uniforms  over 80% of students get waivers and wear  regular clothing  only kindergartners and first graders  actually tend to wear the uniforms.

Yes!  Schools can lock you in (or out) if there is any emergency situation going on inside or outside the area.  It is for your protection--and so that they don't get sued.

Students should be allowed to carry a cellular phone with them during school hours. To prevent disruption of class the phones should always be off. They should not use the phone unless they are on break or it is an emergency. Not a "Oh my goodness, my hair is a mess" emergency, but a true emergency. We have school violence and natural disasters, things that happen not on the average day, but a parent or guardian does feel more at ease believing that if they can find their child or reassure them. So I say allow cell phones, but be responsible. Don't disrupt the class.

You have to look at school as a big game.  If you play the game, you get out with few scratches.  Do what they want and remind yourself of the good times you'll have when you're out of their class.  I had a friend who made voodoo dolls and kept them in her locker, but I don't suggest that route.  :P

I believe in school uniforms.\n\nAdvantages:  Much faster to get prepared in the morning. Less judgments from others based on what kind of clothes you wear. That's an important one because, in my school, some people get teased a lot just because of the brands they buy... or don't buy. some students are wealthy so they can afford a lot, but a lot aren't and they can't. \n\nPeople might just get to know you for who you are and not base their judgement on what you wear. I find that great.\n\nDisadvantages: You lose your style and you can't express yourself through your clothes anymore. some people feel that they are expensive.

Dudes at school make it a big deal because it is weird.  But if you're cool with it who cares?  I wouldn't expect any compliments in the locker room though.  And if you do get one... watch out.

For one it saves money for the parents. I remember when I was in school our parents would spend three to five houndred dallors on our new school wardrobe. It would help the poor kids fit in also. They would not have to worry about having name brand clothes for school. And a big plus all your good clothes will last alot longer. And most of all the teachers will not have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions!

What about curfews? Other topics might be dress codes, final exams, changing the time school starts every morning, changing the start/end date of school, changing your school's cell phone policy.  Find something that you want done, and convince the powers that be to do it.

Make the dominant peer pressures positive.\nStrongly positive school ethos, engagement of school with pupils lives and experiences, involvement with the local community.\nSchools can be very influencial places that promote strong allegiances.

I wouldn't trade your current room for one without windows but better artificial light.  Try some light reflective materials on the walls such as mirrors and light colored opaque fabric.  Natural light does wonders for a high school student's day in that it keeps them in touch with life and allows freer thinking and greater learning ability.
