I think the easiest explanation for administrative powers making your lockers same sex in the 6TH GRADE is the fact that many girls get their first period at that time, and trust me, you do NOT want to share a locker with a girl learning how to handle those small traumas.
I shared a locker with a boy for 3-1/2 years in high school before anyone knew about it. His name was Gale--so, when lockers were assigned, he must have been mistaken for a girl. And we didn't have any problems with it or even knew it was wrong, until one day, I went to my locker and the lock wouldn't open. So, I went to the office to ask why my lock had been changed and got yelled at by the secretary for allowing a boy to share a locker with me. Seems someone saw him and me at the locker at the same time and assumed that we wanted to be locker buddies. Like we were in love or something. Idiots. She sure got flustered when I told her that it was the school's mistake. Was a shame that he had to move out. He was a nice guy and I never, ever had a problem with him. I mean, after all, it wasn't like we were sharing a dorm room or something--just a locker with books and coats and stuff in it. I always kept my "feminine products" in my purse. Much more helpful being right next to your side than stuck in a locker on the other side of the school.
Tested made this fabulous set for me!!! Isn't it great?
