It's not a good reason, it's just another excuse. Simple solutions? Get a lock. Get two locks. Take the bike inside. Ride an ugly bike. Have the school put the rack next to the front door, or inside an entryway.
I'll add it to the list of excuses right next to "but I'll get sweaty and mess up my hair!" Bikes aren't for everyone. If people can come up with excuses that easily, they probably don't want to ride in the first place.
