The issue of all students having large lockers is currently being attacked. Before you hastily take a side, consider all the people who will be greatly affected by your decision.

Obviously, your decision is going to affect the student body of this school. Have you noticed that students with small lockers are late to class more often than students with large lockers? Why is this, you may ask. Well, since their lockers are smaller, they have less room to quickly store their books in before heading over to their next class. And because of this, their possessions might topple out of their locker upon being put in, and the student must pick up their things, get what they need for their next class, lock their locker securely, and finally glumly head to a class that could very well be on the other side of the school. They enter the classroom late, get a stern stare from their teacher and it’s on their record forever. Think about it with a clear head – all this because the student had a small, thin locker from which all their possessions tumbled out. This causes stress for the kids, and soon, they’re either sick or skipping school. Do you want this? Do you want to ruin the lives of young children because of a stupid reason? I think not. This is why all students should have large lockers. It’s the only way to prevent disastrous futures for your students.

Another important group of people that your decision is going to greatly affect is the teachers. Teachers usually have very friendly relationships with their students. Would you like to see a friend arriving late to class more than once in a while? Would you like to see a friend getting completely stressed out? Would you like to see a friend ruin their future that you were supposed to help build up? I’m sure the teachers feel the same way, but much more passionately. I can just see it now…..I, a teacher, am taking attendance, looking around for a missing student. There she is, in the doorway-late, for the 4th time in a row. She’s already gotten detention, and I don’t know what the problem is. I really care about her, and she’s making me very scared for her. How am I supposed to teach her when I know something is wrong? After a few more days of arriving late, the student stops coming to school completely. I have failed in my task. Am I good enough for this job? I don’t want this to happen again. Should I quit? As you can see, small lockers cause both students and teachers stress and worry. They start questioning themselves. If all students have large lockers, there would be one less thing for everyone to worry about. The students and teachers know this, and I have recently learned that many support me. To prove this, I took a survey. I asked the students and teacher in my class if they believe that all students should have large lockers. Sixteen out of sixteen people said yes, I do believe this. According to my end result, as I mentioned before, many people support me. And not just from my class. An article informed me that people around the world support me, and for different, important reasons; for instance, fairness, experience, no stress, and space. The Washington Post had an article which said, “Never is the inadequacy of locker space more evident than in the depth of winter. Many students say that once they hang up a coat, the locker will hold little else.” There are many reasons why all students should have large lockers, and by now I hope you think so, too. The decision of whether or not all students should have large lockers might seem like a very trivial one, but in the long run, it will make a big difference in thee lives of many individuals. [] []
