When I was in grade school back in the early and mid sixties, our elementary
school had over 600 students. Everything was very clean and there were few
problems. In fact, I got to ride my bike to school because I was one of the
patrol traffic officers. So I got to help the kids across the street. I
really liked it, too. Parking my brand new bike at the outside bicycle
rack, I never locked it and neither did anybody else. No bike was ever
stolen. Each kid had is own individual locker with no locks on them. In
fact, I put a combination bike lock on my locker one day and when it was
reported, they made me remove it. By the time I got to high school, lockers
were shared by three kids and each locker had a combination padlock. You
were lucky if your car wasn't stolen out of the school parking lot when you
went home. Try and tell me things haven't changed.
Phil.
