Should the principal be allowed to search lockers randomly?

Answer 1

I think that schools should not search students lockers because they could have something in their locker that they don't want to have teachers see!

Certainly. Students should not bring anything prohibited to school.

Answer 2

not if there is not a reason to. i think they should also have to get a search warrant like the law officers have to do.

Students are minors and adults are responsible for them. The locker belongs to the school and they have a right to search their property for illegal items and things that violate the school policies.

Answer 3

Yes. Your locker is not your property. Your locker is property of the school and you shouldn't be bringing anything to school that you wouldn't want to show the principal. Don't bring guns or drugs or anything dangerous to school.

Citizens do have a constitutional right that protect us from unreasonable searches and seizures. This means that police must get permission to search your house. But because your locker is not your property, the principal has the right to search it.

Answer 4

This is a very controversial subject and this is a matter of opinion but the answer should be both yes and no. Yes because sometimes schools have suspicions about a student like if they are depressed and want to kill themselves. But teachers should not be allowed to do random locker or backpack searches

Answer 5

no, because it could invade the person's privacy. also i wouldnt like it if people were touchin gmy things without me knowing. that is just my opinion, but i know that alot of people feel the same. i dont recommend it.

Answer 6

Yes. A student should expect no right to privacy in their locker which is provided by the school system on public property. It is provided free by the school system as a storage place for school supplies and coats.

The school has a responsibility to ensure the safety of all the students so it is against that backdrop that student's lockers should not be protected from inspection for drugs, weapons or any other items that could cause harm.

Answer 7

It may seem to be unfair, but such a premise surely rises from the assumption that students have a right to privacy in the school environment. As determined by the Supreme Court, students have no privacy rights beyong personal information.
