SUBJECT: Locker Privacy
[Reply | Send a personal message to P.M.]
Locker privacy seems to be
an issue with most teenagers. Should officials be allowed to search
your lockers whenever they deem it necessary? Why or why not?

I agree with J.S. because
if they have drugs they can get high off of it. They can do something
crazy like rob a bank or even kill them self. I also disagree with J.S.
because they could have things that is personal to them that they want
anybody to know about.

I will also have to agree
with J.S. and J.M. Lockers are a very personal safe, but if a report
of drugs is found in the school premises. On the other hand, Only certified
officials should be able to do a locker check.

I think student officials
should be allowed to search a locker if deemed necessary. I feel this
because if drugs were present, it would be for the best of the child(ren)
and the school to have the drugs redeemed and disposed of. However,
the school must have clear and numerous pieces of evidence before a
search is conducted. Also, school is meant to be a place to learn, and
more importantly, a SAFE place. Therefore, all violations should be
pounced on and dealt with immediately, so the school environment can
remain a trusted and secure place for all children.

I think i agree with J.S.
Locker searches should be done if there is a valid reason for the search.
Otherwise a search would not be warrented. School officials should give
the student SOME locker privacy but if the need arises, if god forbid
something happens and lockers need to be searched it should most definately
be allowed. The only reason a child would really
seriously want to keep their
locker private was if infact they were hiding something. So for many
children this should be a pretty similar feeling on this subject.

That's a good point J.M..
The only thinkable reason for a student not to want his/her locker to
be checked was if they were dong something wrong and violating a school
policy.

J.S. and J.M. are right.
The school should be a safe place, and with locker searches, it is.
The lockers should be searched by higher faculty members of the school.
Also the officials should only search the lockers if necessary. If locker
searches are not necessary then what's the point.

M.B. no one is going to try
and steal your stuff if it is a simple locker search. And the only way
people could go to jail is if they did something wrong.

I also agree with everyone.
Students usually argue with locker searches by stating that they should
have their privacy and that the higher authority has no right to go
threw their personal belongings. But as long as the search is reasonable
and can be backed up with reasons for doing so, then it should be allowed.

If they have no proof that there is things in there that they
need to check then they shouldn't be allowed.

Actually it is a matter of
opinion. For 1 locker searches should only be done with a VALID reason.
School officials WILL NOT steal your valuable items it is just a SAFETY
check so that you don't endanger yourself or other school mates.

IF there is any evidence
or suspicion about drugs or guns in students lockers than officials
have a right to know.

I agree that lockers should
be searched by school officials. This is very important because drugs
and other such items may appear in a students locker and student officials
will not know about it. It is important to have lockers checked, and
besides the point if the students dissagree then
the officials will become very suspcious and demand a chack.

[Reply | Send a personal message to C.F.]
I think that it is right
for the school to search the locker ONLY if there is a suspicion that
there is something harmful in that student's locker. Therefore they
shouldn't be able to search a locker without any reason to.

Officials need to know if
there is anything going on in the school and the things in lockers can
offer tipoffs as to what is going on and if there are any crimes.

[Reply | Send a personal message to M.A.]
Searches of lockers, and
any belongngs really, is an act of safety. In the United
States, yes, you do have a right to
privacy. But the policy of safety overrides the policy of privacy. If
you are not doing anything wrong, then why not allow the officials to
search? The only reason you shouldn't want them too is if you are doing
something illegal. Therefore, the search is entitled and correctly so.
When they deem it neccesary and suspicion does arise, then safety overrides
all. The safety for yourself and others around you is at stake. And
the officials are not purposely attempting to go through your stuff,
they just want to make sure you are being safe and following school
rules and policies. Anyway, why would you do something to arise suspicion
anyway?? It is your own fault, then, if you are hiding something and
therefor eget in trouble for it. You shouldn't do it in the first place!!!

EXACTLY! Safety must come
before privacy because it's not only one person's safety at risk, but
the whole school's.

I agree with bits and parts
of all of your's and there are obviously many great reasons. I think
we all agree that the bottom line is that they should check lockers
if there is a clear reason and if students resist it only means they
are hiding something, and Matt, these guys are school officials. Why
would they want to steal something? I think it would be easy to identify
the school official if he/she stole something, so that wouldn't be a
problem (since they wouldn't be able to get away with it).

[Reply | Send a personal message to P.M.]
I think that school lockers
should be ckecked by officials whenever they think it seems neccesary.
There may be drugs present, which may be a hazard to the children in
the school. There may even be explosives or firearms in the locker which
may do harm to students, teachers, and staff working in the building.

I agree with J.S. and J.M.
because even though in the United States
we have the right to privacy, people still try to smuggle drugs and
firearms into schools and public places. So, I think it is essential
that we keep locker inspections in schools for the safety of students,
teachers, and staff in school.

I disagree because if we
have a right to privacy, then why should they be allowed. There is a
law about property right. So why are they going to touch my property.
The only one person who disagrees with me the most is J.S. So what do
you have to say about that.
Huh!
