Need to rant about school...

[MJ300]

Normally I am not the kind of person to complain about school but this year is that ridiculous I almost have to. I'm a senior, got accepted to college, and am just breezing my way through toward graduation with not worrying too much about anything. Welllll.....a new school rule was put into place 2 days ago stating that..."Students are reminded to please close their locker doors after use. Leaving them open is a safety hazard. Faculty & staff are also asked to close any locker doors they see open." Now all the teachers shut our lockers 10 times a day and my enrichment teacher is getting pissed at people who aren't listening and still leaving their lockers open...such as myself and about 90% of the school. :banana:

 

She gave us a speech today and asked what we are going to do when we get into the real world and have to deal with stupid rules like this all the time. Well honestly, I could CARE LESS what she thinks, I'm NOT shutting my locker and I hope they start giving us detention....then I'll really have a reason to flip #$*@! Me and a couple of friends are gonna put big metal No Trespassing signs on our lockers Monday as a joke. :rotfl2:

 

And I might be crazy but I think a downhill sidewalk with 4 inches of snow on it is more of a hazard than open lockers, but they don't do anything about that! :rant:

 

Rant over.

Ya know what. You and your friends need to grow up. If I was your principal and you didn't shut your locker, I would pad lock it and you could go without.

Funny you should post this today, as I was just having a conversation with another member about how we are dealing with the entitlement generation. No one at your school, or anyone else, owes you a d$%n thing. Close your friggin locker door and act like an adult.

 

I know you aint gonna like this response, but you "opened the door", so to speak. :rant:

that is a good point, maybe you should bring it up with the principle.

but i have to side with aemsee, you open it, you shut it,

i remember my senior year, i would walk down the halls slamming peoples locker doors shut, almost got into a fight one day cause the kid got pissed that i shut his locker, i told him to get over it. then it really pissed me off when kids complained about $#!& getting stolen out of the lockers that they didnt shut....hmmm :fool:

i found me a nice shirt one day in locker that a certain kid always left open, i still wear it...i didnt steal it, he left it there for me to take.it.

 

sorry :rant: over

[89eliminator]

at my old high school, if you left your locker open your stuff would have been stolen. all in all it was a great school but there was a group of kids that were a waste of sperm.

[mjeff87]

shut the @#$%ing door.....

 

this whole place needs to start growing the @#$% up a little bit.

Maybe I should have described my school first. There are 100 or so kids in my graduating class and we are all good friends. I could tell you the name of every person in my high school. Personally I keep nothing of value in my locker, except maybe a soda bottle. And even if my soda bottle did get stolen so what, then the school could use their cameras place every ten feet to find who stole it...end of story. What I'm trying to say is there is nothing of value in there and it is just so much easier to not open it 10 times a day. The rule is sorta like telling you to lock your truck doors at night even thought it's sitting in a house with locked doors and an ADT security installed. It's overkill.

 

And I don't want to hear anymore "growing up" comments. I work 30 hours a week on top of school and sports to pay for MJ stuff, gas, cell phone, etc. I'm in Advanced Placement classes and really understand that I need a good education and I've been on the distinguished honor roll many a times. Never had detention in my life...I'm overall a good, responsible kid. But I'm just sick of all these dumb little rules our administration is making. We also have a "paper famine" this year where teachers are not allowed to copy more than a set amount and we have "banned" library books too....but those are a whole nother' can of worms.

 

The reason open lockers are a safety hazard is because one or two kids complained about after walking into them. Well in order to walk into a florescent yellow locker, you'd have to be blind and walking a foot away from the wall in a 15 foot wide hallway.

 

I just don't see the logic. It's overkill. :nuts:

If something as trivial as this freaks you out, you have lots of problems ahead. The rules only get worse as you get older mate.

Your whole attitude and comments reek of immaturity. I don't know what to say.

[kro10000]

Hmm, on a side note... I never even realized that was ever an issue, I go to a high school with about 2000 other students, and it's rare to ever see one open.

[jimoshel]

Why don't you take the door off your locker and use it as a plow to clear the sidewalk?

[Rebelfish99]

Who even uses a locker still?

Havent used mine since freshman year... :cheers:

[Rebelfish99]

I never used mine once. From middle school through college. All my books and everything stay in my truck box.

[HOrnbrod]

What an amusing ridiculous thread. Sad to see what happening here.

The downfall of our educational system?

[DJM/78]

Don't remember High School , I know it was allot of fun .

 

Then .... Funs time's over , all I know is , people started to tell me I had to do allot more things I didn't want to do .

 

Thats all I hear now a days , Honey go do this , go do that ... :rotf:

 

Better get used to it , it never ends . :yes:

 

You want to talk about logical ?

Get married and all logic goes out the door ... :yes:

[HOrnbrod]

The downfall of our educational system?

 

Nope, not even going there. Just ridiculous that some kid is freaked about his locker door, had to post it up, and here we are discussing it.

[JeepcoMJ]

I'm with don on this.

 

 

this is a waste of space on the forum. it's a locker. hence, it is designed to lock. this is to protect your property from theft and/or vandalism.

 

 

if we didn't have locks with combinations on our lockers when I was in high school, EVERYTHING in the locker would have been stolen. heck, even without...stuff was still stolen.

 

 

sounds like a majority of your class should probably get a swift kick in the arse, and a crash course in "common sense 101" the rule was put in place as an attempt to avoid said arse-kicking, and said crash-course. looks like that didn't work, time for full on assault as far as your school's faculty is concerned.

[Sir Sam]

you need to man up

[Dirteatr717]

I haven't touched a locker since 6th grade and I'm in my senior year of high school... U don't have to goto ur locker between every class..... Shut the stupid locker. :shake:

[freakjeep93]

i didnt even buy( yes my school makes us buy or lockers). a locker this year and if i actuually need a locker i use a friens who doesnt use it either. it aint thah hard to carry a few books around between classes. if you ned certian textbooks just get the atthe morning and at lunch.

[whowey]

I'm with the grow the hell up and shut the hell up crowd. How you deal with the folks who make the rules is a sign of maturity... not how many hours you work or what you do with your time.

 

Until your name is over the door.. you get to listen to other folks.. the ones in charge of your school have said shut your locker door. Do it and move on.

[shelbyluvv]

Wow,

 

You need to enlist in the military if that little "rule" freaks you out that much.

 

Stop acting like a spoiled little prick and close your damn locker door.

 

It is a safety hazard and I see exactly where the school is coming from. It is a liability for them to let something like this go on after someone was hurt and reported it.
