Search students' lockers.

SHOULD STUDENTS’ LOCKERS BE SEARCHED?
No, our lockers should not be searched. If weapons, drugs, or anything like that, were found in the school, then I would understand the need to search the lockers, but if they just wanted to search, for example, every month just because the school thought it would prevent us from bringing inappropriate/prohibited items to school, then I don’t think it should be allowed. I can’t say I don’t think that this would prevent us from bringing these items to school, it probably would, but we need our privacy, and the only place where we could have our personal things at school, is in our lockers. The school should not care about what happens outside of school, and if we had something, maybe photographs or something written, that could reveal what we did, for instance, over the weekend, it should be kept to ourselves, in our lockers if we wished to. We should feel confident that no one will go through our lockers and find out what we did with our lives while we were not at school. Mostly every student in our school is outstanding and truly dedicated to school, and our lives outside of school shouldn’t affect us in school. They would be treated different in a way if this outstanding student was discovered by whoever searched the locker.
