Then the searches should happen privately and not in public.

Then the searches should happen privately and not in public.

Parents don't usually check what their sons/daughters put in their school bags, so teachers should have the rights to take the responsibility and keep the campus safe.

The medication brought to school should be approved by a nurse first, or provided by the school nurse.

Pocket and bag searches should occur to prevent hazards from entering the school campus, but strip searches should need a warrant since most of the students would feel uncomfortable.

All incidents can be avoided by allowing teachers to check students belonging for dangerous hazards such as knifes, guns, bombs, and many other harmful objects.

An example of a court case approached by a gun occurred in Delaware State University in 2015. “A 20-year-old student shot and killed Lakeytrice Quinn, 24, and shot and injured Alexandra Hicks, 26, in the parking lot of a dormitory on campus during an argument. A campus police officer who witnessed the incident shot at the assailant twice, but did not hit him. The perpetrator was arrested and charged with murder.”

Searches should occur with a warrant, but if you are in the school property they have the right to search you with a reasonable suspicion.

Searches should have a warrant to occur, although if you are at school you are in the school's property and therefore they have the right to start a search with a reasonable suspicion.

When schools search through lockers, they are not searching through the student’s property, since the locker is a belonging of the school. There have been a couple of cases where the students have sued schools for looking through their locker. These students don’t win the cases or go through with them, because the lockers are not on their own property and it is not their belonging. The school should be able to search lockers because they do not belong to the students. There are also other solutions to searching for They could do general searches such as metal detectors, etc. for all students. (Although, the student should be there in person during the searches.) to ensure the safety of all the people working and attending the school.

The teachers should be able to check students' belongings with a reasonable suspicion to prevent incidents from occurring such as shootings and stabbings. And if it makes the student uncomfortable the schools should find other ways to search students.

Another incident happened in a New Jersey High School were a girl was found smoking in the bathroom and denied doing it when she was asked about it in the principal’s office. The assistant principal demanded to search through her purse, and when she did, she found multiple objects that are against the law and school rules. When this case was taken to court, it was debated to be going against the fourth amendment, but later on was declared as a reasonable search. If these searches had not occurred, then these students would have carried on taking in and smoking illegal substances.

First Argument:

One statistic states that 17% of high school students in the United States students drink, smoke, use drugs during the school day.
