Now that the winter months are upon us, and it’s been getting really very cold up here, I have found out that the kids lockers at school do not have the room for a place to hang or keep their winter coats in. It upsets me a great deal, since I have been harping on them to wear their heavier coats instead of just sweaters or hoodies, to school. Eery morning for the last month I have told them to grab a jacket or a coat and they tell me that they are warm enough. Finally, I after really getting angry they told me that there was no room in their school lockers for all of their books, plus a coat.
Because of what my kids had told me, I decided to go to the school and look at the their lockers, and I was totally appalled at the fact they indeed did not have the space to put all their books and notebooks, let alone hang or even stuff a heavy coat into. This is not right for the school not to have children’s lockers that at least will be able to hold the great deal of books, binders and notebooks they have, but also at least hold a coat. And indeed, I’ve seen lockers online that are inexpensive, and would hold all that is required.
Lockers for kids, should be built and installed in schools, so it gives them enough room to have their books and school items without having to cram books, papers and notebooks in them. Also they should at least have room for a winter coat, since they do not get excused for absences anymore if they get colds or sore throats, or worse. We as parents know organization even if it is in a locker, would help our kids in school.
