Last Tuesday we went to our very first fly-up day to one of the 2 Middle Schools that my daughter is choosing or rather waiting for confirmation where she will be moving up to 6th grade. The first one, Atlantic Middle School is supposedly our second choice, both mine and my daughter’s. This is so because of influences from other parents alike and even classmates, and that’s it. Never giving the school a chance to know more about it and after that day, I was particularly in the middle of changing my mind. Seeing the school for the first time, huge and clean with huge classrooms, clean lunch room, although not so much stuff in the media room, and quite a number of clean and colorful lockers.
Now in my kid’s current school, this isn’t the case. A school locker for me is supposed to be personal, right? They shouldn’t be shared with anybody else. I understand, due to financial reasons sometimes this isn’t possible. But look at what happened to my daughter. She lost her phone that was left inside her locker that she shares with 2 other classmates. I also think that these school lockers should be kept safe with individual and personalized locks to avoid these sad cases of theft.
More than that, I prefer colorful metal lockers over wood lockers. It’s more modern and safety-wise..it is more favorable too. This is something that I should share with the school of my kids especially now that they have a current promotion on high quality lockers for sale at very low prices to help them decide in a more educated manner, when it comes to these things, that is.
