“This isn’t the 90s” that hit hardddd lmao
They wish. This generation is chasing the 90s so hard
LeiliMana they wouldnt be if 90s kids stopped comparing my generation to theirs. seriously there are so many “only 90’s kids...” and “this generation will never understand...” honestly what do you expect
@@LeiliMana no there chasing the 80s
Rick Hand too much watching the breakfast club move
The fact that we're in 20s next year is haunting.
We don’t use lockers cause *we don’t got the damn time*
Realest statement ever, they give you 5 minutes between classes to stop at your locker, locker on the first floor class be on the 4th floor they just was so damn useless
I would take the books I need for each day in the morning and put them back before I go home. Unless I've got hw.
justin lee right because the bell is to short in between classes
And then my school so big my damn locker is across the school when my class somewhere else
They give me 3 min at my HS, and the other classroom is like 2 min away
I don’t use my locker because they give you 5 minutes to switch classes
We have 3. I don't even know where my locker is, I just carry my coat around during winter
We used to have 6 but this year we have 10! But no lockers because they can’t clean them
We used to have 0
Last year we had 0 this year we have 5 but depending on what we have and how chill the teacher is sometimes I can make it to my locker
For me it's 3 minutes
We didn't even have lockers. Up and down 10 flights of stairs with books for every class.
Taco Stacks exactly same!
Brutal.
Only time I didn’t have a locker was elementary school.
Taco Stacks my school has 2 buildings so lockers are useless. And winters suck
Taco Stacks 10 flights of stairs?? Where the hell did you go to school!?? Do you even know how many steps makes a flight??
*the bell doesn't dismiss you I dismiss you*
Lmfaoo
Oh that
But for some reason I can’t dismiss you one minute before the bell
THAN WHY IS IT CALLED A DISMISSAL BELL!!!!!!
All my teachers say that
When you're not American and thought school lockers are cool :(
The OMG World !! American schools suck
I think theyre cool too but it's so inconvinient to even use one
sOMeBoDy important r u American
@@mariaroman5080 yeah
sOMeBoDy important oh okay just wondering
Well when you have 5 minutes to go across the school there’s usually no point in fumbling around at a locker for 2 minutes
Especially when you have to go out of your way to go to your locker
Wait... You guys don't keep rain coats, umbrella, and lab coat in your lockers?? They're too handful to bring everyday but will be useful later
Really? My school has a 10 minute passing period. Most of the students still don’t use lockers though lol
LOL i was in school in the 90s, 5 minutes was more than enough time, maybe you kids are out of shape
MMO Archives heavy traffic, takes a long time to get a locker open, our classes are on opposite sides of the school, you can’t run in the halls, and if you’re late by a second, you get chewed out. I don’t think this is a matter of being out of shape.
Wait what I like my locker. I’m not about to carry around a coat and gym clothes all day
Alyssa Stepus we have gym lockers which we actually use but I never in all four of my years of high school opened my locker
@@morgantorrenti450 i used mine to store food that i would sell for twice the price at break
Alyssa Stepus At my school we have too, count yourself lucky
Literally everyone at my school uses their lockers. We have a senior lounge and in the lounge is where all of our lockers are. I decorated my locker so the entire inside is covered in pictures of my family and friends. I also keep stuff like binders, my winter boots, extra school supplies, food, drinks, perfume, my gym clothes and even a lawn chair that I keep at school so I don’t have to sit on the uncomfortable stools in the lounge. I seriously couldn’t imagine not using my locker I wouldn’t want to carry around all my extra stuff all day
OriX - CS clearly I’m using mine wrong😂
If you expect me to put away all my stuff in a locker during the five minutes I have to cross the entire school, you’re crazy.
Tully Mitchell hey we have done it in the past is call don’t be lazy and prioritize your time not your 📱
Alfredo Alcantar we only have two minutes between classes and I still get asked why I don’t use my locker I have to book it just to get to class on time
Tully Mitchell wow that’s no excuse we had 2 minutes in between class
Alfredo Alcantar Mhm if you expect me to use my locker and still be able to run to the 7th floor from the basement at the other side of the school within 4 minutes without being late you must be braindead
I have 2
Honestly nobody has time for lockers, you have 5 minutes to get from one side of a massive school to the other. And it takes like 2 tries to get your combo right.
true dat
My school has 2 min to get from one class to another
@@TaKibiii my school has 7 and its still not enough😂
Hisham Alhusaini 7 minutes? That’s too long bruh
Snoop 2 tries ? Damn u must have the hard ones
“We don’t use textbooks” dang I wish I went to your school
Hardly any American schools still use textbooks. It’s taxpayer-funded daycare.
@@ts121084 Right
@@ts121084 well im not american
It all online. Old people don't understand that online does NOT mean "easy". You do NOT wish you went to our schools.
wait what?? everyone at my highschool uses their locker and there's nothing "uncool" about that
edit::::my school system works differently compared to "normal" highschools, so it's built in a way so that our lockers are actually convenient. but yeah, now i understand why student in other schools don't use their lockers
Lorraine Rudio in my school we have like 3 minutes to switch from class to class and our school is pretty big so usually no one uses the lockers. Plus only things we carry are our binders or notebooks and bare minimum supplies so it's rare to see anything important in the lockers other then a coat. 🤷🏻♀️
Lorraine Rudio same. My old school we didn’t use them bc there wasn’t enough time, but I go to a private school now and it’s small enough and we have lockers big enough to fit stuff so I go like 2 x a day just to get textbooks
@@vomiie that makes sense, my school works a lot differently compared to others. we make our own schedules everyday, so we can take as much time as we want in each class. this also gives us the freedom to take our time and go to our lockers whenever we need to
Lorraine Rudio sounds like a good school
Colester 17 it's so people don't have to carry extra weight like textbooks they don't need for that class. In theory it's really good but when you put it to use and you only have 3-4 minutes to get to class to class it doesn't work that well
A lot of schools don't use lockers because there's no point lmao
My school does and a lot of kids use them
If I have to carry 4 heavy textbooks, yes there is.
Or they cost money
never knows Best we have small lockers at my school. everyone uses them
redwingdog22 really? i only have one textbook and our teacher makes us keep it at home- only for homework
Cause you aint got time to use it. Especially when your class is on the other side of the school.
Jacob Hammond
Exactly... I mean, all of my stuff fits into my pack, easily, and when your class is literally at the farthest end of the school from where you're at, then stopping for almost any reason is not something that crosses your mind, *especially* when there are those kids who walk in the halfway like they have all the time on the world! Like, get out of the way dude, we gonna *both* be late... and if your school has thousands of students like most every school does, well, who has the time to stop, unlock, and try to sprint in a packed hallway full of kids?!
Omm
That's why you bring all the books for periods to come during break. And if it's for a class before break, bring it home and bring it to school.
I graduated in 2012 and went to 3 different high schools..rarely did I use my locker in any one of them..schools often have multi buildings or multi levels..how are students expected to go from one part of the school to their locker thats on the other side and back to class thats again on the opposite side? And outside of home room its not common for your classes to be anywhere near your locker so making plans to head there while you are close doesnt work..also at the end of the day there is too much foot traffic to walk to your locker from your last class, and if you take the bus you may very well miss it just from taking too long trying to get your stuff. At least that was my expireaance.
How do you not have time to use it lol takes less than 20 secs to open (or 5 if you have a key) and less than 20 sec to put shit in ur bag or carry them with ur hands. I guess it depends on the school, went to high school around 2010 and kids were still using them.. I used mine like twice everyday, and my classrooms were like a mile apart from eachother, then I moved to another school my junior year and nobody used them.. we all could leave the textbooks in the class on a shelf and whenever we had hw that involves using the textbook we’d take them home. From what I’ve heard from my little brother teachers have more textbooks now so you don’t have to bring your own, or they don’t use them at all. They just use a projector so you can write notes down. Kids today are really soft lmao
Which school are you in. Everyone use their locker in my school. Many decorates their friends' lockers on their birthday or graduation there is nothing uncool!
in my school we have like 3 minutes to switch from class to class and our school is pretty big so usually no one uses the lockers. Plus only things we carry are our binders or notebooks and bare minimum supplies so it's rare to see anything important in the lockers other then a coat. 🤷🏻♀️

Blah Bam it does happen
thedanster17 lol the lockers are too small for people to fit in them.
i’m so fucking gay
Ok so when I was a kid, EVERYONE wanted lockers lol just so they can put that “pink rug” or that “disco ball” but now it has no point
Our highschool doesn't let us bring our backpacks with us to class so I guess we are all uncool

Kameron Berkly I went here after he said that just to see if anyone noticed
Lockers aren't considered uncool at my high school, just no one uses them. I don't have time to go up 2 flights of stairs and across 3 buildings in hallways packed with hundreds to students (Literally so many in some areas that it is impossible to not be touching at least 3 people at once. Some of whom walk slow with no considerations for others) AND somehow go to my locker. I can barely make it to class as it is without a locker.
Alexis Ford god you have it so hard,how do you do it?
Alexis Ford true
123456bmx says the high school dropout
Alexis Ford same thing at my high school like nobody has the time to do that
I know right especially when your locker won't open because someone twisted the knob I used to hate that . The only reason why I got a locker was to put those Giant text books in them .
Am i the only one that wish they had lockers like this in school?
I always wished
You think you do but when they only give you 5 bullshit minutes during passing period ....its impossible to use it....and in 11th grade my locker was on the other side of the school from my classes i had one class where my locker was....so it also depends on how big the school is and where your locker is at
@@steezzyv2470 our school is pretty big and we have 7 1/2 minutes of passing time
I really enjoyed the beginning with the news reporters being all silly
Edit: I enjoyed this whole video. Them being silly was fun and also I totally get the reporter when she said oof when carrying the backpack. That's me altogether.
it’s the middle of summer and this gives me anxiety thinking of school

What gave me anxiety is you saying “middle” of summer time went by so fast

*I don't have enough time to stop by my locker*
Don’t you have a lunch period? You could spend some time then to go to your locker :/
S a m e, 6 minutes is NOT ENOUGH
sOMeBoDy important 6 mins?! My school only had 3 min. Passing periods
S. A. M. E
3 minutes means you spend 1 minute walking to your locker
1 minute trying to open my locker
30 seconds trying to rush and swap my stuff
and the final 30 seconds is me running to my next class then getting yelled at for either running or being late
Only clicked for the stranger things shirt
Maia B same.
Same lmao

At my middle school everybody has a locker and uses it 😂
Lovely Tatyana ahhh middle school. Miss those days. Now in high school we get 3 minutes each period to get to the other side of the high school and "use our lockers"
Mercí A. Same lol
Lucas Santos In my middle school we get about 4 minutes between blocks or periods to go to our locker or use the restroom
@@enyaaa7921 in my mid school we don't get locker breaks you just carry all your stuff in your hands all day until you leave
We don't have breaks between periods
The reason we don’t use lockers is because we have like maybe 5 minutes to get from one class to the other. And that’s not counting if the teacher is holding you back for any reason, like them still teaching even though the bell rung because the bell doesn’t dismiss you the do 🙄 but they also except you to be in your seat with your materials out ready to go before the bells rings. Or you need to go to the bathroom because teachers don’t let you go in class because you have PLENTY of time to do that during the passing period, but there’s like 10 people trying to go to the bathroom all at once because teachers don’t let you go to the freakin bathroom during class.
Lily Lopez our reason is you can't hide illegal drugs or weapons
5 mins? Bruh weve only got like 1 min to ge across the whole school lol
Lily Lopez
That’s my issue with the bell
Why do they call it the dismissal bell?
They should call it the
“The it doesn’t matter because your teacher isn’t done lecturing bell”
ikr I hate when the teachers are like “The bell doesn’t dismiss you, I DO.” And I’m like then why is it called a dismissal bell, I’m gonna be late for my next class lady! I only have (girl teachers)
At my school we have 2-3 minutes in between classes.
My highschool lockers are like 3 inches wide which is why we don't use them alot
Faith Szuminski yeah same, we just use our backpacks but you can buy the locker but they’re so small they’re worthless
Exactly
3 inches that’s long as a finger stop lying
@@jeffreyc6660 it's called exaggerating, and I'm not lying my locker is so small
My lockers are that wide too. My backpack barely even fits. I hardly use it
I don’t even know where my locker is and my school ain’t even that big, I’m in 8th grade and everyone just brings they’re backpacks to class
Wow, i remember the times it was so fun to have your own locker, because they were the tall kind (not the small ones most schools seem to have now), you could decorate the inside how you want, place heavy textbooks in there, etc. Depending on where you had it is what made it cool or not. For example, it was cool to have a locker near a class, certain floor or the water fountain vs. near the bathroom. Good times, good times.
Here is why:
1. Schools are over crowded, my school was built for 1500, currently has 2900. There are only 800 lockers now because they cleared them out for study areas
2. Textbooks are online
3. 6 minutes isn’t even enough time to get to class when teachers let out late and expect the warm up to be done when the bell rings. You can’t even use the bathroom anymore
4. Lockers are not that safe
5. You are allowed to bring your backpack with you to class, unlike middle school where even laptop bags were banned. We were forced to before so we hate it now, simple human nature.
Blah Your lucky you guys get 6 minutes. We get 3
TheMilkman we get six because our school is the size of a small college campus (edit: including the distance from the main to the mods) It is a two minute sprint or 6 minute walk from the back doors to the modulars (trailers with 8-10 classrooms). If your classes are both in the building or both in the mods you are fine, but all freshman core classes (Math I A H, Math II H, English I A H, YA Lit, HS Writing, Biology H, Earth science A H, and some computer classes) are jn the mods. And electives and Math III are in the building so it is a pain.
Blah we get 4 minutes in a 2000 person school
My school is getting pretty crowded also. And we have 1400 kids and get funded as if we only had 1000. We get 4 minutes to go from class to class.
We still use our lockers our school was built for 1000 people but it bow has >3000
I just like carrying everything in my bag, then I can go straight to class. It’s not because it’s not cool lol.
How do you carry all those books tho?, my back still hurts from high school so classes
sophie coad Haha when you leave none of this “cool” and “popular” things are going too matter anymore...everyone is going to move on
DirectorxMizuki eventually you’ll get used to it. On the bright side, your back gets stronger...if ur walking in a straight posture.
Ikr, my locker broke and kept my bag with me like it's so easy.

the only locker I ever had in middle school and high school was my PE locker and that thing was so small you could barely fit a shoe inside.
hope same here except it was 1 locker for 2 people

omg yes i feel you and at my school you get one locker and they always get broken into and the coaches tell you to put all your stuff in there and if it wont fit oh well its going to lost and found😂😭
little_kellye funny you say that. I use to open up lockers for people that forgot their combos
There is zero time to use lockers
I remember we had 3 minutes between classes and we still had time to use our lockers.....and use the bathroom and get a drink.
@@ashleyashleym2969 how big was your school? We have 3 minutes too but everyone jams the walkways because there's so many of us, we're moving so slow. Our campus isn't huge but it depends on how far our classes were because I barely made it to math one time
lol these kids even have five minutes, i have three and im forced to use my locker because backpacks arent allowed
u guys get to little time we get 7 full minutes and even then some teachers will give u an extra minute
*WASTE. OF. ENERGY.* 😭😭😭😭
When I was in high school a few years ago, people rarely had enough time to use their lockers and make it to class on time. But in middle school we used them.
My high school required us to use our lockers because backpacks were deemed too dangerous (in the sense of leaving them on the floor or bumming someone with you backpack) it got to the point where we were told no backpacks on campus peroid but it was quickly revoked and changed to during school hours. They blamed it on a easy way to carry drugs around but everyone knew it was because this one teacher who seemed to go out of there way to trip on someone's bag (even it it was under the students desk)she would some how trip on it.

Alicia en el Pais de las Maravillas Yes, but the actual main premise is “Why aren’t high schoolers using their locker?” And I’m staring my personal reasons for not using them.
"democracy dies in darkness"
and everything dies at 0:05
I literally use my locker 24/7, basically between every period. It’s really helpful keeping books in folders inside of my locker so I can just grab them quickly and walk to class.
At my brothers high school nobody uses their locker because all their classes are so far from their locker so they use bookbags
O
Same
No, they use BACKPACKS. It triggers me when people say "bookbag" 😂
my hs doesn't alow you to carry bags with you
You never stopped of between classes. You would take what's needed for all your morning classes for the morning and change out for what you needed for the entire afternoon after lunch. Besides, you need the lockers for your winter coat and boots.
We don’t have enough time between classes to go to lockers anymore 😂🤷🏽♂️
Too rich For this Gym lockers are used everyday
Ruff Riderz that’s a gym locker you have time to put your stuff in there before you go in to the gym if you go to your regular school locker you will most likely be late for classes ... that’s high school Idk what grade your In
At the end of the day place the materials that you will not need at home in your locker thus lowering the weight of what you carry home. In the morning, visit the locker again to refill. If possible, visit the locker at lunch to break up your load. Have a first half of the day load of books and then swap out for the other half of the day. I did it all through high school and my school was rather large. I made it work. Also go to bed earlier.
My school we have a set of classes each day so we never have the same class two days in a row, and I just bring all my books home and put what I need for the day in my backpack the next morning
I go to my locker before 1st period and before 7th sometime I go before 4th if I forgot something

is there a spot u n your friends meet

.....everyone still uses their lockers at my school
maybe if i didn’t only have four minutes to get across the school
Harry Potter the high school i go to lets kids have 7 minutes during transition
We have 10 min
Where do you go where they give you 7 or 10 minutes? I went to 3 different high schools and one was in another state..they were all around 3-5 minutes between classes.
Really? At Hogwarts they only give you 4 minutes? Then how do you always have time to run around all over the castle during the day?

I go to a school that has middle school and high school together. And most of my grade don’t use our locker bc the older kids are always in the way. If we say “excuse me” or something… they always push us around or make fun of us.
The only people I know who use lockers are people who do sports or workout after school
We are not anymore in the 90s...

@@elijahgray9968 hes a cool nerd. You can be both.
Or maybe cause In most high school the school is pretty big and the classes are scattered around the school and you don't have any time to stop by a locker, also you have to pay and I'm not paying for something I'm gonna be late to class for.
Yung 829 you have to pay for lockers?
multifandom potato in my school you gotta pay to have one, I rather just carry my bags and always have an eye on my shit

Lockers are $10-15 where I go to school...
These kids are taking these lockers for granted, my school dosent even have lockers...
When I was a freshman in high school, I tried going to my locker in between classes, and would always end up late since my locker was in a part of the school that was far from any of my classes. Then I just ditched it.
My high school had lockers but didn’t let anyone use them! Everybody at my school was fascinated by them and wished to use them
I have only seen lockers in films/movies i live in europe and the entire american school system is so weird.
We did have lockers in New Zealand but they are dead asf.
We had like 5 lockers and if u wanted to use them I dont know for what they are used for you would have to pay for that
Eliza h. Fascinated by a locker why tf would u wanna use it takes too dame long to use it
Funny Plays how is it weird?
Maybe if our school gave us more than 5 minutes between classes , then we’d be able to use our lockers :/ schools are getting bigger so we need more time to move between classes and use lockers
We still wouldnt use them....
1° world's problem
fuckin we get 3
You guys get five minutes? We don't get a single second extra planned for walking to the next class. You just have to be there around the same time as your other classmates (which is as fast as possible without running) and if you are later the teacher asks you where the hell you were XD
I like how you guys are complaining about 5 minute breaks between classes and stuff when the Indian system doesn't have separate classes for teachers and we have no lockers lmao
Ahhh high school, a time when you worry about stupid stuff and don't realize 99.9% of the people there, you will never see again or recognize if you met them later on in life. A time when someone else pays your bills and everything and you still don't appreciate their unconditional love for you.
i use my locker to house my backpack and my lunchbox. i carry a drawstring most of the time with all my stuff in it and some in my hands. i don’t trust kids around my food.
There isn't enough time to even use lockers. If I have to go from the 1st to the 3rd floor in 5 minutes I don't have time to go to a locker. I just carry everything in my backpack. And I only have like one textbook for precalc. My teachers only use in class textbooks mostly.
Ashley 3 floors damm
Ashley yea true it’s the same at my school with the in class textbooks
I feel your struggle my locker is on the 4th floor... no time for 4 flights of stairs and down again between classes.
Elizabeth McKittrick I know. Plus I hate how I have a class on the 1st floor and my next is on the 3rd. I'm always basically dying by the time I reach the 3rd floor lmao I'm obviously not in shape. And I can't use the elevator cuz it's only for people with broken legs and lazy ass teachers lmao
I only have 3 minutes and lockers just make me late
The reason why high schoolers (at least in my school) don't use their lockers is not because they're "uncool", it's because they're inefficient. Some schools are very old and haven't been renovated for many years, mine being the case. Some of the lockers are very finicky and get jammed. This makes it hard for students to open up their locker quickly enough, get to class on time, and go to the restroom or do something else in time. There's also the fact that even if they were in perfect condition, they would still be time consuming. If you had to go from class A and across the hall to class B, theoretically that would be a very quick transition, but what if your locker was on the other side of the school? You'd have to go there each transition period and change your materials. Futhermore, there is the fact that everyone would be using them, the lockers would be crowded for anyone getting into the lockers, going to their class and using the locker. It would be hell being in these locker zones. Finally, there is the fact that you might possibly put something valuable in your locker, if someone finds the code or is willing to break it open, there goes your stuff. This is especially common in public schools. In middle school you might see everyone using them, but never in high school. They just realized that there are too many cons and very little pros.
I_isTehPotatoe Same, it takes too long to get in our lockers and then get into class considering we only have 4 minutes between each switch 😂
It takes up too much time definitely. I'm in middle school and it's against the rules to carry out backpacks around, so we have to use the lockers.
That's not the case in my school. Most high school students don't use a lock, but no one steals stuff from their locker, considering the fact that mostly everyone only puts their books or other school equipment in there, which would be pretty odd or dumb to steal.
Thank. You. You the based god.
Conjuring Chucky our lockers have locks built in. Also the school has an upper middle class demographic so there is some stuff to steal. Plus some of the students are troublemakers
No joke. I have this on my Favourite videos list, since it was posted. .. I re-watch it when I want to remind myself I graduated from high school in 09
My senior year of high school, my school started tearing down and getting rid of the lockers (we’re mainly an outdoor campus, so all of our lockers were outside) because the district caught my school making us pay $45 for a tiny locker. Everyone used lockers before that happened, however.

I graduated in 2016 from a hs in Ohio and we did use our lockers! It honestly depends on the school
As a current high school senior, I can tell you everyone uses their lockers, it's either food or books in there.
This gets me so mad!! We never had lockers in my highschool! I always wanted to live that 90's movie scene by the lockers lol, all your friends gather by your locker and talk lol. I remember in shows like "That's So Raven" "Lizzie Mcguire" and "Wizards of Waverley Place" how they all had lockers, and in middle school I was so looking forward to highschool and having a locker, then we didn't have any! I was so devastated. UGH!! WHHYYYYY!??!
Lockers are optional in my school, but a little less than half the students use them. Lockers arent convenient unless you are loaded with AP Classes and homework, and even then people just have their backpacks
I remember in elementary everyone looked forward to having lockers in middle school and then decorating them. Once I was in middle I never understood why people took the time to decorate them with pictures and stuff when they only spent like 10 mins by a locker each day. We had to use them to put our backpacks in. I would put in my backpack, coats, and textbooks. I remember putting a lock on my mine which was really just a waste of time trying to get it open to get textbooks in between the 5-10 minute period you had. During the last few years I didn’t put a lock on and if someone wanted to steal my textbooks I was like so be it. During hs we chose if we wanted a locker. I did choose one freshman year just to put my textbooks in if I didn’t use them or my coat. But many teachers weren’t using textbook as much later in hs so rarely anyone uses a locker know.
When I watched this in middle school I was like nah I'm definitely gonna use my locker and now a year later I don't use it cuz you wouldnt get to class on time if you had to go to your locker
Freshman and Sophomore year I tried using lockers, but it's almost impossible to leave class, unlock a locker, and go to a different class in 5 minutes. Its way easier to just carry a backpack, and that way you can never forget anything for your classes in your locker. It cuts out the "middle man".
I understand that if u have a big school but generally people switch their books at lunch which is convienent and makes a bag alot lighter.
YES! Same thing for me. Freshman year I used it all the time, sophomore year I used it sporadically but because I used it so little there would be times where It would take me like 3 tries😂 at that point i already had to go to class
I'm in a school of 1400 people. We only have 4 minutes in-between classes, but since backpacks aren't allowed besides taking stuff to and from school, nearly everyone uses their locker. I go to my locker in-between all 7 of my classes and have no difficulty in getting to class. I don't like carrying around two textbooks and seven binders all day. I guess it just depends on how your school is set up though. And about your "middle man" statement, it isn't hard to remember what to bring to class when you do it every day. Its only hard at first when you have to think about it.
We never used locks on our lockers, so it was super easy and quick to get your stuff. Incredibly rare for anyone to use a lock; maybe only less than 10 students in the entire high school used a lock!
nice profile pic man
kind of a shame boys don't do the '90's jock lean' on the lockers anymore. I'm kind of a sucker for that. 😏
zadose it's cheesy but I think it's cute lol
Not Trustworthy the times moved on lol now we only got time for fortnite
5 Years Ago 😲
I’m a sucker for any 90s style thing 😂😂
Not Trustworthy Sweet, i'll stop by when school is back in and lean on yah.
In my school we use the lockers not to store our books, but for other stuff that we don't use everyday; accessories for ceremony, rain coat, umbrella, spare flip flops, lab coat, calculator, etc
Not in highschool anymore. But this must be in a warm climate. Everyone uses their locker when they have their jacket or coat. Unless you wanna carry it around all day.
Also helps keep projects and books that you don't need to carry around everyday. It was very convenient.
We have 5 minutes to get from one class to another. We don't have time to stop by our locker. And five minutes is pretty generous considering 60% of our teachers let us go late for whatever reason.
just asking whats your time table? because i use lockers and i barely use up 1 min of my time and its really hard to get to my lockers since the hallways are narrow and tons of students going both ways. our teachers advice us to carry all our books for period 1&3 ( we have 7 periods) then we have a break then 4&5 then break then 6&7.
not sure how you define small but there is 2,000+ students in our school but split in 2 campus meaning ~1,000 students in each campus
I was usually excused from class as already knowing what was to be discussed or having the highest grade during the pop quiz and hence given a spare. On average, I would spend two hours in class over two days. My biggest problem was that I never knew when the tests were scheduled as that was always announced at the end of a class. I pretty much always had fifty minutes to make it to the next class but I pushed that to the limit by taking the train to the malls.
lol i have three and i am forced to use lockers i cant stand it
uwu same but we have 3 minutes and some teachers let us out late so people like to rush to class
I can confirm this. It's so rare for someone to use their locker at my school.
Jacob Brandin Cooks the streak shooter
Do you carry your winter jacket around with you from class to class?
everyone in my school wished we had lockers.
The only time i use my locker is to put my jacket in there othet rise then that i dont use it
Joe Schmoe Everyone in my school just keeps their jackets on because my school is always freezing.
My last few years of high school (around 2012) teachers started ordering 2 copies of textbooks. One is yours for home and the other is for the classroom so there was literally no need to carry a textbook anymore. Then lockers were just extra space but they searched lockers so often with police dogs that I can see how it wouldn’t be worth using the storage. Sometimes you couldn’t even get in your locker because of the searches I remember we had them like once a week and that was in rural Mississippi where drug use was really low
My old high school stopped using lockers because there were so many break-ins.
What the hell, since when do people not use lockers
Ikr it's my life saver
I never used it min my life. i don't see the point. i can just bring everything in my bag
Well you don’t need them in high school. Just carry your backpack around
I only use it if I have a textbook
At my school they had all the books in class at the table. Or under the desk and we would just take it out when we needed it. No lockers necessary. Only for pe
My heart started beating when he said “No Ma’am” 😭❤️❤️ 0:58
Why
0:43 hahahaha! That was the most perfect answer to that question XD
I hate high school
Yes, thank you bruh them teachers and security guards are annoying AF!!😂😂💯
Jesse darwka23 it was more the students for me. They were so immature and tried too hard to be cool and popular
my mood 24/7
FMTYFILMS me
your gonna hate life alot more, trust me its all downhill and then you die
Teachers don't use textbooks so what's the point in going to my locker to get them
Sam but like, dont you use them for your coat? Or jacket?
shrisja either wear it, tie it around your waist, or carry it
bmmaster I guess, where I live (the netherlands) you can’t have your coat or jacket with you so everyone just uses their locker and we use ipads for most classes, but everyone uses their locker to put textbooks in for the classes without ipads
Exactly. My tablet is really all I need for textbooks.
I kid you not, my locker is basically a refrigerator
I used my locker at the beginning and end of the day, and sometimes at lunch but mine was broken and the top section didn't lock.
I stopped using my locker my junior year because a swarm of asshats started using the broken top part as a garbage can and spilled rancid orange juice seeped through the top and all over my expensive coat. I complained to the school and they refused to give me a new locker.
So I then put all my belongings in the back of the classroom of a teacher that I liked.
High school you’ll never use a text book, but as soon as you get to college it becomes your best friend.
They kids obviously don't go to school where it snows
i live in new york tho we never use our lockers lol we carry our 10lb coats like men
I live in Russia and we have cloakrooms for that. Lockers are not a thing here.
Well I do and while yes there are a few more kids who finally track their locker down to shove all their stuff in there come winter time, many of us(including myself) will just wear our jackets for the whole day.
jimimim I live in Minnesota and we don’t bring our coats
I'm from Michigan and everyone still just carried everything
I had the option to use a locker, but I never did throughout high school. You only have a few minutes to get from one class to the next. Being late a few times can result in a referral, and it isn’t worth it for a locker.
CrazyMallu Gurl yeah, in my school the teachers lock the door when the tardy bell rings, and if you’re outside the room you get a paper to fill out and you have to go to the office for detention. We only have three minutes to get to class and their is no time for lockers
I would always buy the combination code for it but never used it lol. We would always carry our stuff in our backpacks.
NO Hi lucky in my school you have to put your backpack in your locker.
CrazyMallu Gurl exactly
And you end up forgetting lots of things in the locker when you go to class or go back home
Is it just me or that "no ma'am" was OISEHFJSEKFSF I love it
Reporter: what’s uncool?
Me: this video
Lockers would be a great alternative to the years of back pain you get carrying your books everywhere.
I only carried a few notebooks for the day and the textbooks o did have were more for assigning homework
I feel like the guy towards the end of the video nailed it when he said "there's only five minutes between classes, it just isn't practical to go from one class, the locker, and then to my next class. It's easier to just carry my stuff with me."
Dude its like a 10 pound bag that is the pussiest thing i have ever heard
in basically every school kids wear them for maybe 5 minutes an hour, I doubt that will do much
Yeah carrying a heavy bookbag for years actually gave me a hump in the back of my neck and lower shoulders 😬😬😬
their lockers are like four times the size of mine like I'd literally live in those lockers if I had those
♡Ela♡ 💀💀💀 my was literally 4x the size of there’s but it was cut in half for two 2 rows worth of lockers
That’s cus it’s double the size of ur real house
no one uses their locker since its location could be literally anywhere in the school, it's usually inconvenient and too far out of the way of your classes. since you only have a few minutes to get to your next class there's literally not enough time to use it. so it's just easier to carry all your stuff around with you all day
The way that lady jumped in when she said she put her book away! 😂
We have to use our lockers because we’re not allowed to bring backpacks in classrooms for safety reasons
Yeah same here
LeeleeLOUD that’s only the case in one of my classes and it’s so annoying because we wait in the cafeteria until the bell rings in the morning, then I have to walk all the way across the school to my locker, and all the way back across the school to my first block. Then when it’s over I have to walk all the way back, and then to my second block. The rest of my blocks allow it
Yeah me too
America is so fucked. Guns?Yes. School shootings? Yes, kids can deal with it, we want our guns. As a European I can't imagine I'm sorry you got stuck with some bad people in power :((
@@hazel5634 it's actually mainly drugs they're worried about, for the most part
🤔Its 2018 Why don't they just use tablets or school app to access all the classes Assignments?
My school is too poor for that
Actually my school is now issuing chrome books for kids to keep throughout high school and not all assignments are online yet but it’s getting there
The problem is the AP Courses (at least in my school) REQUIRE every kid to have a physical textbook. Trust me, I'd do anything to avoid lugging around my 4-inch thick textbook. (No time for lockers)
My school gave us laptops and I use it maybe once every day. And they just weigh down my backpack. All because the teachers don’t feel like taking the time to learn how to work them. And even at that we always have WiFi issues or some kind of issue with them. They weren’t expensive laptops but overall they were mostly just a waste of money and time.
my school has those 60$ chromebooks and we hardly use them to their potential. Some classes do, but i have so much paper
A lot of people in my high school still use lockers and we don’t really consider it uncool but I think it’s because we have textbooks for almost every class and that I go to a private high school
I don't know why I found this in a playlist called "Japanese Pokemon" but I am not disappointed
It's honestly easier to carry around a 35+ lbs backpack (topped out at 40 or so) around campus than it was stopping between classes because the 5 minute passing periods were definitely not enough time to go from a class to the locker to another class. Why would I risk being tardy to class when I can just put everything in my backpack and replace said broken backpack every year with a new one? It's not that it's "uncool" - it's just more practical not to use one.
i was in high school too 10 years ago and that's exactly what was considered uncool lmao...
CHICAGORILLA lmao how times change
That's why you use them during breaks
EscapeVelocity yeah but bookbags weren't allowed at my stupid school
35 pounds in high school? What type of shit do you carry around. All I had were some notebooks and folders and books
No one thinks is uncool to use a locker. Our school has two different buildings and the buildings themselves are big and classes are scattered you barely have time to go to you locker. If you have your locker at the end of school where you don’t go to most people have joint lockers with a friend who’s locker is closer to where your classes are. I used my locker since I took a bunch of ap classes, I also bring a coat in winter and a jacket on a daily since some classes are colder than others and I don’t feel like carrying it around. I also do a lot of after school stuff so I put my art things, food and clothes in my locker. I also bring extra clothes cause you never know what might happen. I also share my locker with 7 other friends since my locker is in the best area which is close to the cafeteria and by the office and by where the busses drop off.
Dang how big is your locker??
Serenity Hamilton ikr like damnn
Sharing your locker with 7 other people is just asking to get robbed
PoopyDoopy39 surprise surprise ended my high school career with all my things, not robbed.
Laynicorn Lay - just because you didn’t get robbed doesn’t mean it’s a good choice you know.
Actually fun Washington Post video. What universe is this from anyway?
The high schools I went to was 50/50, a lot used the lockers and a lot used their own bags. People even decorate their friends lockers for their 🎂, Canada btw🇨🇦😎
“No ma’am”😂
wow manners haha
wow so funny

Andrew Chen because it’s funny to me 😂
Leena Cabrera but he asked why it’s funny
My school doesnt even have locker anymore
keisha angel same
