Why dont high schools have locks on the student lockers?

Question

at my high school we have to bring in our own locks. But in middle school they were built on to the locker itself, I am wondering why we have to spend our own money for something the school be responsible for or either leave our posessions at risk of being stolen

Answer 1

All schools are different... your high school probably can't afford to get new lockers and/or pay for locks. Or, they recognize that it is up to YOU to keep your stuff safe... you're not babies anymore, after all. The school is NOT responsible for anything that is stolen, YOU are.

Answer 2

huh, never heard of that, my high school has built in locks.  

Answer 3

idk? but at mine they have the locks already on the lockers and everything, but they make you pay 5$ to use your locker for you four years of HS.

Answer 4

Thats stupid.

But unless you want your stuff to be stolen, you should bring your own.

But you can talk to the principle, to understand why.

Answer 5

Some schools are older and might not have locks, they should replace those lockers. If only they have the money...
