well i don't think ''teachers are nosey'' i think that it is there property and it is their right to search students locker if there is a good enough reason. I also think that it is very good that schools search lockers because students may have drugs, alcohol, and weapons....and i also think there needs to be another adult present to verify what they found/saw in the students locker. There should also be a reasonable explanation on why they are checking the students locker...

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.
