Locker Searches/Personal Searches

Locker searches/Personal searches at school is a debated subject in schools. I, for one do not support the searching of lockers or personal searches of the student's personal items. I can approve of locker searches because it is the school's property and the ability to check through them is fine, but checking through our personal belongings should not be allowed because it is our own belongings and people do not have the right to search through that. I found information to support my statements here. Three points I should note off are about locker searches, personal searches, and approval of the debate. First off, locker searches in school. They are allowed because lockers are property of the school and if you choose to use them. You also choose to let them search through it anytime. The school wants its environment to be safe and carefree. By searching through lockers for illegal weapons or substances, it rids the threat of harm a little. Next, searching of personal items. These are only allowed if the student is under suspicision and the school is then allowed to search through the student's car, belongings, and pat them. Checking through personal items should not be allowed unless you drive a car, and only then can the school check their cars and not their other belongings. Lastly, Approval of this situation. Searching through lockers is fine. It is the school's property and if you want to use their property, they can check it. Personal searching although, is not approved of. Being it is the student's personal items and should not be able to come to school without being checked and only their cars being checked. To sum it up, locker searches/personal searches are somewhat approved and disapproved of. Locker searches,personal searches, and the approval of it are what I took the most of it.
