ADD SPECIFIC DETAILS, like you're writing a persuasive essay or something. USE FACTS!!! And show me your websites that you used. Best answer is one that shows a lot of you know.... like evidence and support. CHOOSE A SIDE!!!!!
USE SPECIFIC DETAILS AND EVIDENCE,,, NO!!! THIS ISNT FOR HOMEWORK, THEY MAKING A LAW ABOUT THIS AND I WANNA SEE UR OPINIONS ON IT!!!
 
Sure, it depends what they are searching for. If they are just searching for stuff like cell phones or I-pods it probably wouldn't be great of an idea, but if they are searching for drugs or something than it's a good idea. I think it's a bad idea to search for little things like drugs or cell phones because some kids will need to use their phones to call their parents for a ride home. I-pods are pretty much useless at school, but some kids like to have them so they can listen to them on the way home, they aren't too bad to have in your backpack. But for illegal drugs and/or bombs are illegal for the obvious reasons.
 
yes and no kids might be hiding drugs in their property and it invaids personal space.Take a poll at school or something and set up pros and cons tree map
good luck!
 
I personally don't think that schools should do random backpack and locker searches because its trespassing your own space. One thing is that you might have something positive for the people doing the search like a Christmas present in your bag or locker. However, you might also have your cell phone on and you're not allowed to have it on during the school day and you'll get in trouble.

But then I do think that they should because someone could be doing drugs and have them in their locker.

I believe that schools should and shouldn't be allowed to do random backpack and locker searches because they're intruding your own space, but then also, they could be helping you b/c you might be doing drugs or something.
 
I think they should search Yahoo answers for students who are trying to get others to do their homework for them.
 
If this is your hw then you need to come up with some ideas yourself because your teacher knows your writing style.

I don't think they should unless they have reason to believe that a student or students have any questionable or banded objects in their locker or backpack.
But it also depends on where this is, if we're talking an inter-city school or something like a school in some parts of NYC where lots of kids have the sort of thing that could cause harm to them or others them yea that would make sense.

Okay so think of a few main ideas then put in details about all of them.

good luck!!
 
i do think that schools should do backpack and locker searches
i think they should a few (like 3) a year
but if they do find anything
they should make the searches more frequent
but they should just have like the parents or legal guardians sign a permisson form at the begining of the year saying that that is ok with them
and i dont think that the school should give the kids fair warning
cause if they have like drugs in their locker they could remove them
and i also think that if the school it tipped off about anything they should search the lockers
