My principal said yes. I don't think it's fair. That's my private property.
This teacher has been irking me (making me really mad) for a long time. I haven't been able to switch classes. She tries to make me like her then does something completely messed up. Today, when I left class early to go to Algebra (I go to another building so a friend and I leave 5 min early) my Art teacher decided to unlock my locker and go through all my items. She had asked me before I left if I had any of her markers, I said "No. They're on the desk."
After I leave, she starts going through my locker, binder, and backpack. I know of this because my friend saw her going through my personal items.
After school when I was notified by my friend, I asked her why she went through my locker. She denied it. Then she said, "Who said I went through your locker?" I replied, "A little birdie told me."
She starts telling me that there were 7 markers not found when I had left to go to Algebra. I told her I had not taken them before. The principal started telling me that yes, she can go through all my stuff. He told me he could go through my pockets right there and then. He told me he could go through anyone's car if it was in the school parking lot.
The handbook says:
"Locks are necessary to protect your personal items. Students enjoy no privacy rights to lockers, school desks, or other school property. Lockers, school desks or other school property may be searched by the Principal or his designee at anytime."
Yes, the --locker-- was school property. But MY personal belongings shouldn't have been tampered with in my opinion. She waited until I left then just unlocked my locker so I wouldn't know. I would have been okay if the principal had gone through it, but she just wants to unlock it and open up my binders and backpack and just shove it back in there trying to act like I wouldn't find out. I asked her if she would like it if I went through her purse. She said "You don't have that right." So just because I don't have the "right" but /she/ does have the right it's perfectly fine to open up myyyyy items and search them? I still don't believe she has that right to do that.
Sooo... again with this day..
After school at about 3:00 I was sitting and talking with a friend waiting to be picked up. The art teacher comes by me and asks me to come with her to talk. I said no thank you. She said, "Okay, I'll talk here."
I replied, "I'm sure (friends name) does not want to listen to this." She starts saying how she is sorry and she thinks highly of me. I told her, "Please go away." She keeps ranting on and on. I repeat my self--"Please leave me alone!" She still is here ranting on and on and on. I have to say it over 5 more times. Then FINALLY she says "Okay, I'll leave." She walks about five steps away then turns around again and says, "Okay, I'll leave." --again.
My question to that part is-- Is that harassment? By her constant trying to repeat the SAME thing over to me that she has told me numerous times before after I have repeatedly asked her to leave me alone?
