If you have teens like I do, you know all too well about the argument. The argument about taking electronics and valuables to school with them. They make a valid point after all. All the other kids are doing it 😉 But seriously, lunch gets boring and my kids have almost an hour bus ride to school. So I do not not mind. I just do not trust their stuff to be left unattended in their locker. Locker rooms are another place I worry and their back packs, If no watched I worry their items will get scooped. But kids will be kids and in this time and age, they need these things with them. The one time my son left his phone home was the day I NEEDED to reach him. Then there are the days you need to send them with cash. You surely do not want that to be seen.
So what is a parent to do?
I set rules as does the school. Different teachers have different rules about iPods and music. Phones are not to be used during class and ringers set to vibrate. No disrupting the class!
Luckily their are products to help kids protect and secure their belongings while at school.
I am a believer of out of sight our of mind. So most often, if items are not seen they are safe. But you really never know.
New to the dudley fall lineup are the Load N Lock Pencil Pod and the FULLY Loaded Lunch.
Load N Lock Pencil Pod – Students can carry their supplies in style and securely with this portable pencil case. It has a hard see-thru compartment that is easily accessible, along with a large internal storage area for writing utensils. For the students who want to lock up their valuables, there is a three digit resettable combination lock. The pencil pod has a rotating divider that has two elastic straps, and an elastic rubber band that securely holds the materials that students wish to keep in their pencil case. The Load N Lock Pencil Pod is offered in blue, pink, metallic, silver, green and purple and retails for $14.99.
The FULLY LOADED Lunch- Perfect for school, work or traveling. This lunch bag has two front mesh pockets for quick access to frequently used items, along with two front zippered compartments that are great for smaller personal items. It also has a modeled heavy duty rubber handle for a comfortable carry, and an insulated interior lining to keep your food fresh throughout the day. If you are looking for a backpack to store your lunch bag in, the FULLY LOADED backpack is the perfect complement. The FULLY LOADED Lunch can stand up straight, or flat on its back, and it retails for $14.99.
Now the kids can have some of their stuff hidden from others. Easy access for them and secure! You can see about these dudley products and more here.
The bright colours and cool styles make these great for teens in high school or junior high.
