Banning Backpacks

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>My school enforces the rule (I believe)</p>

<p>Because of the bomb threats in the 90's. We still get them once or twice a year, and then on the aniversery of Columbine the school is (from what I've heard, the aniverserary wile I've been is always on a weekend or a day off,) in near chaos, with a few lockdowns.</p>

<p>Also, even with the newest school split, it's still crowded. </p>

<p>I still hate the rule reardless. With a spread out campus, it gets annoying carrying things around and being near dropping them. I use my band locker more than my assignmed one because it's closer to my classes, but it's even out of the way.</p>

<p>Sigh... if someone really was psychotic enough to make a bomb and plan to detonate it, I don't think any deterrent so simple will discourage a bombing. </p>

<p>Just shows how short sighted a school can be.</p>

<p>If my car has a chance of being stolen should I not bother locking the doors?</p>

<p>No one uses lockers at my school. Be glad you don't have to carry around 25 pounds of books from class to class to class to...argggg.</p>

<p>Did I fail to mention we have laptops at school? Would that help my backpack campaigning case or hurt it?</p>

26

<p>hm..we aren't even allowed purses at our school.:(..let alone backpacks...</p>

<p>Laptops? In my school ipods and cellphones are constantly stolen. One girl's LUNCH even got stolen out of her locker.</p>

<p>It's a shame because a laptop would be useful.</p>

<p>Laptops are mandatory at my school, but I go to a small private school that has yet to have a major theft problem.</p>
