While the courts have made various rulings in a variety of ways, a student actually has no more or less rights than an adult.

An adult who walks into the store does not have the right to dress as he likes, smoke as he likes, yell (or argue) at clerks as he likes, fight with customers as he likes, or demonstrate for a cause as he likes.

Similarly, a student who walks into a school has no right to dress as he likes, smoke as he likes, yell (or argue) with teachers as he likes, fight with students as he likes, or demonstrate for a cause as he likes.

A student is there to learn. He does not "own" the locker where he hides things. He has no right of free speech to sass the teacher or gun rights to settle disputes. And he will hardly have such "rights" when he's an adult, bosses search employee lockers, too, nor may they be "sassed" at work, nor are guns allowed.

Rights in this nation boil down (after all the exceptions and case laws are factored in) to the fact that you may be relatively free in your own home. Step outside your home, and you are subject to restrictions. Most you won't agree with. And that's what adults deal with every day.

With kids it worse because they cannot - or will not if 18 - have a home to be free in. They are in another's home, and so have no respite. This is sad. But a trade off, for the livelihood is provided.

In the end, it all depends on what rights the teacher is taking away from the student. If the teacher is taking away the right to bear arms, it is completely fine (since students should not have guns, anyway). If the teacher is taking away the student's right to not speak as to not incriminate his/herself, then the teacher cannot do that.

Why do teacher have the rights to yell in students faces?

in my opinion, they don't have the rights to yell at a students face. but my teacher does that to my classmates. i think they only do it because the are trying to get their attention, but some teachers do it with yelling instead of just telling. their rights are to get a students attention so they can learn. but some teachers do it by yelling at their students. so technically they do have to the right to do it. unless you have my teacher because she gets mad enough to knock all the stuff off someones desk and onto the floor.

What is the Tinker Standard and how does it affect schools today?

The Tinker Stander is giving students the right of free speech. With this you may not disrupt class or abuse the rights of others. Also I would say that the impact on schools today is that teachers cannot "brainwash" students. Today's students now have the right to learn and express their opinions - obviously in a peaceful manner that does not violate social conduct or infringe on the rights of others.
