Students Learning Security Lessons at School

Do you remember your combination to your School Locker? If you are still in high school or graduated recently; then you may remember your old locker combination and perhaps you still have the combination lock too. It’s been a long time since my high school days, but I didn’t use my locker much. I didn’t have enough time in between classes to unlock a lock, get my things out, and get to my next class in time. I would carry all of my books in large bag and sometimes I would put 1 or 2 books in my school Locker. If you use a locker and don’t put a combination lock on it, then you do run the risk of having items to go missing from your lockers at school.

Students these days are carrying some pretty valuable things to school and it’s a must for them to use their regular lockers or the Gym Lockers. The high tech items like cell phones, laptop computers, blackberries, or a digital calculator is something a student would want to put in a secured location. Most of the time this would be their metal or Wood Lockers that are assigned to them each year at school. Normally these lockers don’t have any security protection. If a student wants a secured locker, it’s up to them to buy a lock with a key or the more common combination locks. It’s hard to keep up with a key and the combination locks can be tricky to open at times. There was always one student around that was good at opening the combination locks and they would have to teach others how to turn the dial on these locks. I don’t miss these days of trying to keep my things locked up at school, but you were just asking for it if you didn’t lock up your stuff.

They are some kids and mostly at the middle and high school levels that are looking to steal another student’s things. It’s an early lesson for the younger generation at how they have to protect what they own. I would like to see the locker companies come up with a better security system, for their premade lockers they send out to the schools. I think schools would buy a more modern design in lockers with security being the focus. A lot of schools would have Lockers for sale, if a more secured locker was invented, because they would want to replace their existing lockers with the more secured ones. A locker that had a digital keypad on it and students could use a 4 digit code to access their lockers, would be much better than the locker systems that are in place now. It might be a bit more expensive for the schools to upgrade their lockers, but it doesn’t take too many cell phones and laptops to get stolen, to make up for the higher costs.
