Searches or No Searches
By: Julia Nicoletti
Searches or no searches, that is the question. Say the principal at your school
has instituted random locker and book bag/back pack searches to check for weapons
and/or drugs. Anyone who is caught, will immediately be suspended. Performing these
searches will do so much for your school. Searching will increase the trust and support
of the parents who send their kids to your school. The searches will also make the
students feel more safe and secure at school. These searches will decrease the
weapons and drugs on campus.

Random searches will increase the trust and support of the parents who sent
their kids to your school. A family has a high school student in their family. The family
lives in the not so good side of Cleveland. The school has records and is known for
weapons, drugs, and shootings. If there were locker and bag searches, the family
would probably send their teen to the school. Parents would rather send their teen to a
high school that is known for performing these searches, not to a school that is known
for drugs and weapons. The school would gain a lot of trust and support from parents
if they did this. The more trust, the more students. The more students, the more
money from the government. The more money, the better facilities.

Feeling safe is one thing you need in school. With out feeling safe, more
tension will stir up in school. Twenty-nine percent of students polled by Educational
Communications, Inc., last year said that they know someone who brought a weapon
to school, which is a scary statement. If there were searches being performed
frequently, there would be no reason to be nervous of being shot or stabbed in school.
Most kids hate going to school and when you have students who bring weapons to
school, it helps persuade them against it even more.

Random checks would decrease the number of illegal weapons in the school.
