Pros And Cons Of Random Locker Searches
Unannounced locker searches are uncommon, despite the fact that locker searches help staff keep students in check. Schools should be a safe place for students to enjoy their education, and locker searches can help enforce that. Although some students are lacking in effort, many students are respectful, intelligent, and eager to learn. Students should allow random locker searches because if students do not have anything to hide, locker searches should not be a problem, lockers are owned by the district, and staff should be allowed to inspect the schools’ own property, and finally, random locker searches will keep student from possessing anything not school appropriate.
Random locker searches show equality and help keep schools a safe environment.

    Ethical Leadership/the Twenty Dollar Bill

    In the case study “The Twenty Dollar Bill”, the students’ expectation of privacy outweighs the obligation of the school leaders to maintain good order and discipline in that there is no clear and reasonable threat to student safety or order. The students’ constitutional rights should not be jeopardized over twenty dollars. Furthermore, a bathroom search of any students must be reasonable related to the objectives of the search and must not be excessively intrusive. Since there was only twenty-dollars involved this case, a bathroom search would be highly unconstitutional considering the age of the students and amount of money involved. This is evidenced by a similar case Safford vs. Redding 2008.…

    Fundamental Differences Between Search And Seizure Policies

    Some of the fundamental differences between the Americans and English were the idea of a monarchy, the search and seizure policies, and their judicial interpretations. In England, when the Magna Carta was written, it was used to limit the king’s power without completely taking it away. In America, the Constitution was written in such a way that the president’s power was equal to that of the other two branches of government. America was afraid of a ruler becoming too strong. Another contrast was the policy of search and seizure. The British created the writs of assistance, which allowed the government to take the property of anyone under the suspicion of any crime. The fourth amendment of the Constitution, however, protected anyone from the…

If there was to be a situation where an intruder entered the school building the teacher would be able to protect themselves and the students. There should; however, be a…

    14th Amendment Essay

    The lockers have been given to the students expecting them to take care of it and being responsible over it. What is the need to go through it? I have been given a locker since sixth grade and never once has a teacher much less a principle gone through my locker. If they were to go through my locker it would make me feel like i'm a suspect for something I have no connection with.On our way into school each day student’s book bags are checked each day. There have even been instances in which the security guards have taken over an hour to go through the student's belongings, while teachers, administrators and principals go through without being checked not only is it hypocritical but unjust. Teenagers should be given the benefit of the doubt. I have been present in an event where a teacher unjustifiably read his messages out loud after his phone rang in class without him even having it in his hands. It wasn't in the teacher’s responsibility nor authority to go through his messages much less reveal his messages.We are called the next generation yet we are restricted to are given liberty's by others insecurities. If people can't practice what they preach then they should change their speech. I would rather be considered a rebellious teenager than a lying hypocrite.Trust has become nothing but a blur and a silver lining with perseption, perseption is all that they can see in the end of the…
