Persuasive Essay: Locker Searches In Schools

484 Words2 Pages

Schools having random locker searches is unreasonably and unfair to the students! Schools shouldn’t do locker searches because they could be implying that students are untrustworthy, but not only are they indicating that, locker searches may make the students have lack of trust. If you search their locker randomly and they have personal matters such as photos or letters that they hide in there and you look at it, they would feel less comfortable and not trust you. It would make the student be distant and won't have a bond with their teacher,administrator and/or peers. Students’ lack of trust can also create other issues. For example; say a student is having personal problems and they have nobody to talk to except for their guidance counselor, they won’t trust them enough to tell them about it, so they keep it all to themselves. They would soon become stressed and sad but they …show more content…

To conduct a locker search the school must alert the school board, parents, administrators and teachers before hand. The school would also need to hire more security, which is costly since they get paid an average about $40,000 per year. Students and teacher would also need to give up their valuable time to be able to conduct these locker searches. It would take at least 2-3 days to complete the search. Locker searches seem to be a lot of work and time consuming so that wouldn’t be the best idea. An alternative route schools can take is instead of having locker searches, they can get metal detectors to prevent weapons such as guns/knives and/or drugs being on school property. It would be just effective as locker searches. It also ensures that nobody gets hurt and if someone decides to bring a weapon to school they can stop it at the door instead of waiting for someone to get hurt, then taking action. It’s less likely for students to sneak in harmful things that can put themselves or others in

You need to tell a teacher or an adult who you trust. Things you would find is stuff like drugs, guns, alcohol, and steroids if you are a sports player.

    There is a possibility that a kid who is planning a shooting could just be in a classroom and find out were his/her teacher keeps the weapon, and they wouldn 't even have to sneak a gun in. That’s a downside but what if we made gun safes that only opened with a teachers ID or own password making it almost impossible for a student to open it. Conclusion By arming teachers there are alot more positives than negatives, Yes bad things can happen with a deadly weapon in a classroom but people will continue to do these horrific crimes knowing there is hardly anything that’s going to stop them.

    Using a locker would probably make me slower at getting to class on time,” said freshman Emma Petri. Most students are content with using a backpack all day, as it gives them easy access to anything they might want or need during class, Highlander Time, or lunch. Having to get up in the middle of class to get something from a locker could cause a student to miss out on important information and disrupt the class. Carrying a backpack helps students prepare for the future, as most jobs and colleges don’t have a designated area for employees or students to keep their laptops, pens, pencils and additional materials. Backpack usage allows students to be able to arrive to class punctually and keep all of their class materials organized and at arm's reach to be able to be successful in classes.

  • Argumentative Essay On School Security

    933 Words  | 4 Pages

    When one hears "school security" these days, the word that goes with it is "tighten." Indeed, given both external threats and unruly (sometimes violent) student behavior, it makes sense to think that the most sensible course of action is to err on the side of more stringent measures, harsher sanctions and less permissive administration. It largely comes down to liability - whenever an individual with a history of troubled or criminal behavior snaps or becomes involved in an incident severe enough to attract government or media attention, many of the questions asked in the aftermath are variations on "why was this person not in jail. " The same applies to schools, where administrators often end up having to justify themselves to parents and
