Because teachers are really nosey. They don't have any business in their lockers. I bet they wouldn't like it if people went through their house. A locker's like a house to students but they don't understand that. But they also have to see if they stole anything.
Answer-
Actually it is not your locker. Which is why thy can inspect it as they see fit. A few of you continuously prove you can't be trusted to do what's right. Drugs, cigarettes, guns are a few of the things that turn up in an inspection.
Lockers do not belong to the student. They belong to the school. While I understand this, i think that the individuals who can search student should be limited to headmasters, and principals, because if all teachers could search any students locker, it could end up being a situation of, "this teacher doesn't like this student," and can be embarrassing to the student. I also believe that before a search takes place they need to have some sort of reason to believe that they would find something. I think it is wrong to do random locker searches just because you have a "feeling." But if, for example, a teacher, student, concerned parent, or other adult reports that someone has been seen doing things they shouldn't be doing, then a locker search is allowable. When the locker search is performed, a second adult must be present to verify, as a witness, that anything found in the locker really was in the locker, and that the principal or headmaster didn't attempt to frame the child for a crime he didn't commit.
yupp:(
Many sixth graders have lockers. Many middle schools utilize lockers for students books and other personal belongings. If lockers are not available, students usually have desks and closets for storing school supplies and other belongings.
they are looking for contraband which could endanger other students.
Students at most schools are not given a key to lockers because there is usually a master key that opens all the lockers.
So that students can store their backpacks and books during the day....
they have the right to search lockers because the lockers are propert of the school and they payed for them
High schools have lockers because students have many books that they must take to each class, and need to store the ones not currently in use. However, elementary school students often are in one or two classrooms throughout the day and store their books in their assigned desks instead.
No, not all schools have metal lockers. Lockers are more common in higher grades (middle school and high school). None of the elementary schools I attended had any metal lockers.
In this day and age, by all means, especially lockers not so much on their person. Guns and drugs seem to be the norm at some schools. surprise searches will turn up a lot of contraband to keep the rest of the kids safe!!
As schools are government paid or sponsored, they are under the jurisdiction of the local sherriffs department and any item brought on or existing on is subject to search.
No, if they were bigger they would take up too much space and students would fill them up with all sorts of things. Many schools are removing lockers because they are broken into often and they are not needed like they once were.
