Lockers Anyone?
Having worked in a school setting for almost 20 years, I have seen first hand how important school lockers are to the school, the students and the teachers. In the school where I first taught, the students had their own lockers in the classroom and that helped a lot in keeping their stuff – books, personal items – off the classroom floors. For me, it was a lifesaver because I didn’t [still don’t actually] like teaching while their belongings were scattered all over the place. In the next school I worked for, those big metal lockers were used. These lockers were found along the hallway of the school. Students passed by their lockers in between periods to either pick up stuff they need for the next class or deposit books that they don’t need anymore. Again, these lockers are very useful simply because students have places to put the things they don’t need in each class…that meant lesser unwanted stuff around the classroom. One of the things I really liked in the second school I worked...
