I don't think purses should be banned in classrooms. Anyone can hide anything under their clothes, purses, back packs, lockers and who knows wherever else so what's the difference about it? If they're that anal about securities then why not set up detectors at school just like airports? I'd bring my purse for my personal supplies and few other things. Isn't that too much to ask? :roll:

I agree. :)
 
Wow, I don't agree by banning girls from taking their purse to the classrooms. But true, should not have cell, ipod and other values in the purse. But their $ and their neccessities. Wow, if something happen to the girl who has *you know what*, then I take the blame on school for banning purse.
 
Suppose the girls have to keep their backpacks in their lockers? They need to carry their purses with them because they might not have time between classes to go to their lockers.

Girls also carry tissues, breath mints, combs, lip gloss, hand lotion, and other small grooming products with them, for touch up during the day. They should be allowed. Girls want to stay nice at school.

That's not very dependable. Sometimes the vending machines run out, or the coins get stuck, or the girl doesn't have exact change. Also, they only get one brand choice, and that's not suitable for everyone.

Hmm.... what else they could get if, it is not dependable ? Any idea or suggestion that would help the female students, if they ban the purses ?

At first I'm :confused: after read your post about "hid a gun in a purse" because purse size is the same as male wallet. I'm sure that it's handbag, you talking about. I beleive that we misunderstand between American and British language... about "purse" until I found out what you all talking about... Aahhhh

"purse" is for American language...
http://www.armcandygirl.com/wp-content/celine-poulbot-purse.JPG , not ladies wallet... http://img.alibaba.com/photo/50259821/Ladies__Wallet.jpg correct?

"handbag" is for British language..., not purse...
"purse" is for British language is ladies wallet (American language)...

Now I know what you all talking about "purse" is handbag... "ladies Wallet" as purse.

For male: Wallet..../for female: purse in British language.

Sorry confuse between British and American language.


Now I know what you all talking about.

Students use backpacks to go school are very common here in Germany. They have already female and male wallet and small pocket with zip
inside backpacks for "private things". It's not just for female but male as well... I didn't see that many female student carry purse (handbag) everywhere but left things in their backpacks. Oh yes they brought female and male wallet with them because they need something to pay...

To my opinion, bann a purse (handbag) does not solve anything but teach them paraniod more and more which is no good... They can hide any weapons in sock, etc...

LOL. When I was reading your post I wondered, "Did Liebling mean change purse?" American slang--you are correct. Not purse, but handbag. :giggle:

The parents need to be more assertive about the situation. They need to find out the reason behind the ban, and then find a better solution. Banning purses is not a solution to the larger problem. It's a "bandaid" solution.

Parents need to quit rolling over without question for ever edict that the schools put out.

But they could hide a gun in their socks, underwear, bra, or in their own pockets....


Edit Oh I just thought of something here, if that the case of why, is the school providing free sani supplies in the girls' restrooms?...:hmm:

*nodding agreement* but I think the schools thought they had to start somewhere. And actually, with the school shootings that have occurred, the gun was carried in under a coat or another piece of clothing. The only time backpaks have been involved have been in a few cases in elementary school. One I can think of was a real gun a 1st grader brought from home, the other times I can remember they were toy guns.

I don't agree with the ban--just offering an explanation as to why.

Ha, ha, that's what I always did. :lol: Kids don't remember but students using backpacks for books is a recent development. Back in my day, that would have been considered very nerdy. :rofl:

Girls carry them against their chests, and boys carry them under their arms. Nerds used book bags. (BTW, I have nothing against nerds; I'm just talking history.)

In high school, that was one of the ways boys impressed girls; they offered to carry their books for them. ;)

Individualized Education Plan, where school, parents, and student get together to decide on accomodations for deaf student. Too many times, parents just take whatever the school says they can give the student, and do not push for the rights of their child, or what they believe would be the best accomodation for their child.
 
I voted disagree...

I agree about issues of bringing personal hygeine items for that time of the month. Even as an adult, I cant imagine walking around with pads or tampons. For a young teenager female, that would be mortifying!!!
 
banned? nah

But why not see thru purse or handbags .. like plastic bags .. lol
