Should Officials Be Able To Take Electronics?

Students have rights just like everyone else, even if they are in a school environment. It can be humiliating and dangerous to a student's well-being to have their property searched and violated. Some students are even willing to sue if they feel they were unjustly searched. Dear faculty of high schools across America I implore you to think before you decide to search through and violate a student's cell phone; I believe that this practice is harming students.

Should school officials and police officers be allowed to search through students phones? School officials and police officers should be allowed to search students phones. School officials and police officers need to be able to check students phones, so they can keep everyone safe. Some people think that school officials shouldn’t be able to search students phones, instead it should be the parents problem.

In school systems today safety is the top priority that they spend most of their time enforcing rules for this specific reason. After hearing about the Columbine school shooting I can only imagine the pain their parents felt while receiving the news. If the students had access to their cell phones could this have turned out differently? Dr. Stroka talks in a school safety video that you have to put a face on school safety and most people have forgotten what that’s about (Ken Trump). If students have access to phones it betters the chance of getting help right away in life threatening

Every person in this world has their own rights. These rights differ from one another when compared from country to country for obvious differences in laws and governments. In North America, within the Transcript of Human Rights, Right #17 states that, “everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others, and no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property,”. This right relates to the ownership of properties in the form of land as well as properties in relation to items. An example of an item commonly taken without consent is in fact, a cell phone. Not only are teachers as well as school boards not allowed to take phones away from students, it is in fact against the law

Should schools and officials be able to go through one’s phone for information? I don’t believe that schools and officers have the right to be able to go through a suspect’s phone for information about something, I believe it is a violation of privacy, and ignores the fourth amendment which protects people from random search and seizures. For example, they could have embarrassing or funny personal photos and videos with a friend that they wouldn't want anyone watching or seeing. In the article “Phone Patrol” it states “People could have....pictures in there, like of their girlfriends, that they don’t want somebody else to see, and it would be an invasion of privacy not only for them, but the other person also.”, and I believe police don’t need to be snooping through a suspect's personal information and pictures because they are invading one’s privacy. In addition, schools shouldn’t be able to stalk and look at a student's social media and then go through that students stuff. If there’s a situation, the school shouldn’t get involved, they should let the student’s parents take care of that. In the article “Password Protected”, it says “Schools do

Do u think that students should be monitored by the school district when using their electronics at school? In the article, At some schools ‘Big Brother’ is watching, written by Kelly Wallace, people are interviewed and asked what their opinion is on students getting monitored by the school district to get rid of cyber bullying, violence, and suicide. A majority of the people interviewed thought that it would be a good idea if students got monitored. The author disagreed with the idea of the students getting monitored. In my personal opinion I think that the school district should not have the right to violate a student’s privacy and monitor their every move.

Officials shouldn’t look through your phone , because it’s a violation of privacy. For example, when a teachers look through students phones it makes students lose trust in their teacher.In the article Freedom Comes First, it claims that “There should be a level of trust between a teacher and a student.”This shows students to trust teachers and the things they say, or do.In addition, officials have no rights to look at any other device not owned by them or their company. Like in the article Freedom Comes First, it states

The topic of school officials is a very hot topic right now. Personally I feel like they should have the right to search a student’s bag but only if they have a liable reason. In some cases I feel like teachers or school officials take advantage of the fact the Supreme Court is allowing them to do so. Some kids could possibly have something personal in their bag that they don’t want anybody to see for whatever reason and they might get upset. Yet, I think if they have a good reason or they have been tipped of that student carrying a weapon or drugs I think they should be allowed to do so. By our schools being able to do this it is keeping our community and our schools a much safer place. As the prompt says I don’t think they should be able

Should schools allow students to bring their own electronics? In 2010, Pew Research Center found out that 65v percent of students bring their electronics despite any bans that may be in place. Most schools now allow students to bring their own electronics but require them to be turned off during class because they can be disruptive and distracting. Students should be allowed to bring their own electronics to school because students can have easier contact with parents, if necessary, and electronics ensure various resources at students fingertips.

Does the school officials’ decision to keep the cell phones which are confiscated during the random searches, violate the 5th Amendment of the Constitution which guarantees that before any power or authority can take a person’s life, liberty or property, there must be constitutional safeguards set in place?

Many places in society are setting policies on digital device. The principal at my school has also set policies on banning cell phones in school. Students should not be permitted to use cell phones in school. Using cell phones during school allows students to cheat. Students will be more distracted by cell phones and pay less attention to the teacher and to the lesson. Students have a higher chance of getting in trouble if they use cell phones in school rather than if they are not allowed to use digital devices in school.

There are more effective ways in creating policies than just banning students from using their phones. Many people today lacked responsibility, because the education system today does not teach students to be responsible. Only few who grew up out of their comfort zones are very responsible for their works. Children at this age love arguing with either parents and teachers. Taking phones from them the students therefore can be the worst method of teaching responsibility. All the rules made by the school does not make one to be more responsible, but frustrated. High school students are mature enough at this point in life and should be taught to be responsible. Students at this age already know that they are not supposed to use their phones to play games. When necessary, teachers can make their students turn on airplane mode to prevent cheating during a test (“7 Reasons Why Students Should Be Allowed To Use Cellphones In School,” 2014). The simple logic is that the more rules there are, the more frustration and pressure will be put on students.

Although not everybody would agree, but I think that cell phones should not be allowed to bring to school. I have

Should high school students be allowed to use personal laptops and phones in class? Using electronics starting at a young age will teach children’s brains to become highly dependent upon them for everything. When our brains become dependent upon electronics, it makes everyday activities more difficult to complete without them. The use of laptops and phones should not begin until the age of ten or later. Therefore, by the time one reaches the high school level one’s basic skills should have been developed and the use of electronics will be easier on the brain. High school students should be allowed to use personal laptops and phones in class because they will help prepare students for college, make it easier to take notes and type papers, and help save students money.

A teacher has the right to allow and control how personal devices are used in and out of the classroom once students are on the school compound.
