What if your locker was as small as a book not really but Bull Run lockers are tiny. I think we need lager lockers. Because if we have gigantic locker they would not get jammed because we would have more room. And are locker would not be dented by kids kick them. Kids would be able open there locker more easy. In conclusion Bull Run middle school has to change a lot of things with the lockers that they have.
Personally I think it is a violation of the law in some cases. Schools do have the permission to search the lockers though because of the fact that it is their property they’ve funded it but there has been some situations with faculty searching your pockets and backpacks or even making you take off your clothing. Now the pocket and backpack check is something that they can do when you enter the building but not at random times. They have to have probable cause which means they need a reason to search you meaning the person who is conducting the search or a witness visibly see you with something you’re not supposed to have, or smell a use of drugs or alcohol.
. In Pros and Cons of School Locker Searches, it states that, " Misplaced Focus: searching lockers can imply to students that they aren't trustworthy. It can ruin the school's attempt to build school community trust and respect." In Article 3 ( Pros and Cons of School Locker Searches- Synonym), it states, " School locker searches also consume valuable time for administrators, security guards, and teacher who conduct them. Student also lose their learning time because of this issue." In addition, Article 3 states, " Because students may keep personal items in their lockers, such as photographs and personal letters, even a search with the best intentions can appear to be a major breach of trust by teachers and administrators, causing a rift between the student body and faculty." Some people may argue that locker searches can keep children safe. It "protects them." But how can locker searches protect the children unless they think something's up. If the children act normal and they have a gun in their backpack, then how does this help keep them safe- if no one's suspicious of
Where as others may believe that this will make the school system more of a bureaucracy. Further more those would also argue that most of the time lockers are hardly involved in the keeping of contrabands. If students have contraband items they are more likely to keep it on them and therefore randomly searching lockers it not as important. The time and energy which would be spent searching lockers could be used in more efficient way.
In conclusion, even though there are many different pros and cons about searching school lockers humans today need to search them if need when needed.Although school locker searches can be bad in some legal
Now addressing the complete disrespect and breach of privacy when it comes to school lockers. Lockers aren’t ever really safe, it’s true. If wanted/required a security guard can easily unlock your locker at any point in time during a school day. And you might be thinking: “Okay? So what, they’re just kids” well newsflash, kids have rights too. K-12, the upper echelons of the education system sometimes out right accuse these poor students of harboring drugs and other unlawful paraphernalia within their lockers, and takes upon themselves to undergo what they call “a locker search”, or in other words. “Breach of privacy example number 3”.
Why are so many students against locker searches? Locker checks are not done to invade a student's privacy but they are meant to ensure the safety of students by eliminating weapons entering the school grounds and prevent illegal activity such as the consumption of drugs, and trafficking. Locker checks are essential because malevolent students bring drugs and weapons to school and store them in their locker. When schools have locker checks they are prohibiting the possible, trafficking and drug usage, cheating on tests and quizzes, as well as possible school massacres such as the St Pius shooting in Ottawa on October 27 1975, or the Columbine High School shooting on April 20th 1999. With having school locker/personal searches situations, and illegal activity like this can be prevented making school a harmful place.
Imagine waking up to your blaring alarm clock and getting up to brush your teeth and eat breakfast. As you get dressed you realize something- it’s Monday morning and you simply cannot go to school because you are too afraid. 120,000 kids across the country feel this way every morning. They are afraid to go to school because they may possibly lose their life to an irresponsible child or teen with a gun. Locker searches can help these thousands of children and teens to feel safe. Clearly, the safety and well being of students in America should be the number one priority when considering policies for locker searches.
Going to a locker is genuinely inconvenient and can leave students being tardy because they either had troubles with their locker or did not have enough time to go to back and forth to their locker and class. In addition, when students are in such a rush they constantly forget supplies, and it leaves them having to go back to their locker and miss class time. There are numerous reasons for why backpacks should be permitted and why they do have a good use. However, many people may think that backpacks are unsafe, a distraction or are misused. But, all students should not be punished for those who misuse backpacks, only those abusing the use of backpacks should be punished.
I have heard that people think that locker searches are violating their right to store their belongings away from prying eyes. Locker searches in schools should be implemented therefore increasing the safety of the staff and students in the school by keeping contraband off the school campus. Other measures should also be put in place, as one method cannot prevent everything, but it can help make the school a safer place. These are our future generation that we are putting in danger by not keeping them safe and exposing them to weapons and drugs. Locker searches would reduce the use of drugs in schools, protecting the future of many students that would otherwise be destroyed by drugs.
Bags and objects could be a risk if placed all over the place as people could trip over them and injure themselves.
When all could’ve been easily stopped by looking and observing the locker finding the problem and diagnosing it properly. Through a locker you can definitely come to a many of conclusion about a person. Such as their character or maybe cleanliness of that person. Sometimes going through a person’s things can mess with their dignity. But in all honesty safety of that person an others is most important. Too many times have we turned our TVs on and witnessed the covering of a tragedy of this sort on the news . Children who get fed up with the stress of the world and choose to release their anger by bringing something to school and hiding it in their locker. In my mind we need to stop the epidemic so I’m strongly encouraging the notion for locker checks. Not disputing or dismissing the way a person may feel about the
I strongly believe that there should be random locker searches. Most kids use their locker for their books and supplies, others not so much. Lockers are a perfect place to hide weapons, drugs, and other forbidden contraband because they think it's their private space. If you have a policy to have random locker searches kids will probably think twice before they try to bring something. Also if you say they are random no one can say that you are only searching them because of their race or their history.

Sheyenne High School is a safe place to go to school but this is not the case in a lot of the schools in our nation. I believe parents, teachers and students are in agreement that a school needs to be a safe place where students can focus on school work and socialize without the fear of being bullied or being harassed. However, there is some disagreement as to the best policies for making a school safe. Locker searches are one tool schools have to ensure that students are following school policies, but they are not without drawbacks.
