NO LOCKED DOORS !!

By George Curtis and Ethan Farrell

My name is George and mine is Ethan and we disagree with the idea of locking the doors at morning tea and lunch so we are going to tell you about why we disagree and why teachers should not lock the doors.

What if some kid was being bullied and needed a place to hide!!! but if the teacher locked the door the child will be bullied till the end of morning tea/lunch. What if a child was in the cold rain and did not have a coat and went to the classroom to get it and the class was locked and then the child had to wait in the freezing cold till the teacher came to open the door.     

What if a fire started and we need the fire extinguisher. Or if a kid had to go home they  can’t get their bags to go home.and if it started to rain and then the kids will be stuck outside in the rain.if you came late and if it was lunch you will be stuck outside. What if you were inside the classroom and the teacher lock you in and you could not get out. or if you left your lunch outside and it started to rain             

What if you were in a different class using computers and the bell went for lunch. you went to class and then to your surprise the teacher has already locked the door, and then you spend half of your lunch finding your teacher  and unlocking the classroom door. What if you hurt your self and the office ran out of band aids and your teacher had a pack and you went to get it and the and the class was locked so then you would be outside sore and upset about your scare.

What if you were eating lunch and then someone bumped into you, and you dropped your food and you left your lunch box inside and the teacher has locked the door. Then you would be spending half of your lunchtime finding your teacher and unlocking the door. What if you were eating lunch peacefully and then your little brother/sister comes along and says he is hungry and can he/she have some of your lunch and then you say yes so you go and get your lunch box and you jiggle the door handle and realize that the door is locked and then your little brother is very unhappy because he is hungry.

We think that you have a pretty good idea what side we would be on and that side is DO NOT LOCK CLASSROOM DOORS so if you are a teacher please pretty please do not lock classroom doors we think it is the most idiotic idea ever if you want to join do not lock classroom doors please send us an email at curgeo@waikanae.school.nz or fareth@waikanae.school.nz or come to room 6 to tell us Thank you for reading.
