Dogs Should Be Allowed In Schools

Some are afraid that by placing guns in school zones, more deaths and homicides will occur. That by giving administrators guns the chance of a shooting will increase tremendously, but the truth is by not placing guns on school property, we are increasing the chance of having our children and loved ones being shot. By allowing our administrators to carry guns in schools, we decrease the chance of someone walking into that school and possibly injuring or killing our students and teachers. The Superintendent David Hopkins of the Arkansas district stated “ The plan we’ve been given in the past is ‘Well, lock your doors, turn off your lights and hope for the best’ That’s not a plan”(“Guns in School” #2). Locking the doors and hoping for the best is not the best way to protect the students and teachers. Arming a number of administrators and allowing them to protect themselves and students is the best way to be

Furthermore, the safety plan should include a daily search of the students. The search will act as an advertisement of safety for the students. It is not set up to make the students feel like they are in jail, but in a safe and learning environment. In Students Detained after Guns Found in High School news article, “A

According to the National Education Association, at least 100,000 students bring guns to school, 160,000 students skip classes because they fear physical harm, 40 students are killed or hurt by firearms, nearly 6,250 teachers are threatened with bodily injury, and 260 teachers are physically assaulted. These facts are not based on once year, but as every single school day. Could one even imagine what the numbers might look like on scale for a month of school, let alone a whole year? So would starting with searching lockers really be a step to far to try and lower the numbers? Some may think yes due to the school invading the students’ privacy. The majority of people though will say no, doing searches of student’s lockers is not a bad

In recent years, schools have been increasingly subjected to weaponry, drugs, and violence. School officials are seeking ways to help maintain a safe environment for their students. The increase of violence has led to many cases of controversy over students’ Fourth Amendment rights. The Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and requires a warrant to be presented and supported by probable cause. The problem with this is that requiring school officials to bring in police and for them to obtain a warrant takes time, time that these people do not have. If there is a threat that a student may possess drugs, the administration of the school needs to take immediate action in order to maintain a safe environment. Schools should be able to take any necessary action in order to keep other students safe, but should also have guidelines they must follow in extreme cases, such as strip searches.

Drugs are something that everyone in their life have to deal with. Many parents would feel more comfortable with officer’s drug dogs wondering around the school, just to be safe. In some ways, this could be very beneficial for the school to do just so everyone knows there going to be safe and ok. Having a safe environment to go to school is would be the ideal school, but most schools now and days are filed with druggies who haven’t been caught. A good way they could get caught is by these drug dogs. By getting caught it might teach them a lesson on why they shouldn’t do drugs. Also by getting caught it can help them get better health again. Overall there are some good reason on why the drug dogs should come to our schools.

Although there are many, loving and caring students all around the world.Many students in school could have firearms and drugs on school grounds at anytime around during school hours and after. There are also bad things about searching there lockers you could maybe go through their privacy and personal belongings.

Pets. Pets are frequent in homes all over the world, but should they be allowed in schools? They are many different points of view on this subject but, many parents, teachers and kids believe that “pets are only a distraction and that is to hard for kids to care for a pet” but actually they are quite the opposite. Pets in the classroom believe it or not teach kids good skills and lets children benefit from interacting with these pets. Because of these reasons I think that pets should be allowed in classrooms.

2. The Supreme Court established that a warrant isn’t necessary in school due to the fact that students aren’t under the protection of police officers but instead by the school. The court decided that a search is reasonable if a) “specific facts, together with rational inference from those facts, justified the intrusion, and b) the search was reasonably related in scope to the circumstances justifying it. Also, there can be random drug testing for students in school involved in extracurricular activities, and

Schools should allow, or even require the unannounced visits for the searching of school property by K-9 units. These searches protect students and faculty and help ensure students and staff are abiding by federal laws. Allowing these searches keeps ensures the school is a safe environment for everyone involved.

The reason is schools should be able to search students belongings to make sure they do not contain contraband items such as marijuana, guns, knives ,...etc. But schools should never have the right to search your person even if you are carrying contraband because schools should not have enough jurisdiction. School officials should have to call law enforcement to the school to conduct a proper search on a student that is believed to be carrying contraband. Schools just want a safe environment for teaching and learning so that student can know that they are safe in school and not have to worry about getting in harm's

Deciding whether or not I should agree with dogs being allowed in our work place was very tricky for me. I appreciate your desire to make sure every employee feels comfortable and stress-free at work. Also, I adore dogs and would love to able to have my furry-friend alongside me all day long. However, after looking at the pro's and con's, I'd have to say I do not agree with this idea.

Schools should have the right to search students’ belongings because of the safety of other students in school. Many school shootings could have been avoided if school officials were able to search belongings of the kids at school, with reasonable suspicion. In the 2016 school year alone, there were almost 300 reports of firearms on school property (Mascia). These were only reported sightings of firearms though. If the count was already that high, nobody knows the amount of firearms people bring in on a daily basis. It is important to not have privacy rights in school because it could prevent much of the dangerous situations that happen in schools on a week to week basis. The state of Florida has had the highest count of gun related incidents, with twenty-eight reportings (Mascia). This shows that the Florida state may have strict privacy rules about searching students’ belongings. All of this information goes to show that if the rules were a little more lenient and allowed school officials to search students’ belongings under reasonable suspicion, then so many school shootings could have been prevented. Some people may think that schools are safe enough as is, but nearly two shootings occur within the span of one week (Everytown Research). This shows that if school officials were allowed to search belongings, the school would be known as a safe place or kids of all ages. Kids’ safety in school is one of the reasons why there should be no limits to searching students.

No case has been brought to the Supreme Court level regarding metal detectors used to search students. In the case, People v. Pruitt , the Illinois appellate court held that searching students entering a school with a metal detector required no individual suspicion. The use of metal detectors should be communicated to all students and parents before implementation.

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”.

Ever since the first school shooting, a lot of people have changed their beliefs on this subject. I was in eighth grade when the shooting at Columbine High School took place. Before that shooting, I never would have considered something like that happening. Now, it is seventeen years later and school shootings almost seem like an everyday thing. That is sad, but it is true. This is why I believe a student should not have a high expectation of privacy while at school. The law used to be more lenient, but these circumstances have changed that. Right after Columbine, a lot of states had a zero tolerance law. According to the Center for Public Education site, this law said that if a student was caught with contraband they were given a strict punishment, no matter what the circumstance was. The laws have changed some over the last few years, and are not quite as strict as that. The schools still have to ensure that every student is safe, though. It is common for schools to have metal detectors or bring in dogs on a regular basis. Once they have a reason to suspect a student, they have the right to search their belongings. I believe this is well within their rights as administrators who are trying to protect the school as a whole. I realize that students may feel violated, I have been there. It was always an inconvenience to have to sit outside the hallways while the dogs searched each room. I never felt like it was wrong when they did find something though. So many students would bring large amounts of drugs, guns and knives to school. If it weren’t for the measures that the school took they would just be walking around with these items. I hope these laws never change, and my kids have the same protection that I did. I would hate to imagine my child going to school with guns and drugs within an arm’s reach. I believe the issue of student’s privacy is one that many people can agree with each other on.
