This way, they will understand what they can and cannot do, leading them to a brighter future.

Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2014 studies show, between the grades of 9-12, 22% of people say that illegal drugs are available to them. Therefore, if we have more officers and searches, we can reduce this number even lower and protect students from harming themselves. Not only to protect them, but the students are also on the school’s property. Which means, It also shouldn’t be illegal from schools to search their students’ lockers or desks, because after all, they are school property lent to them to help them, and they are abusing this

    This legislation addressing house bill 186 is of predominant interest to me because I am a student at the University of West Georgia and I believe that every student should feel secure while within his or her institution. This issue also directly impacts my fellow peers and professors as well as my mother, a grade school educator, and her students. From personal experience I have noticed the change in school systems where the building’s security has become more like a prison and less like an inviting community to learn because of the growth in school violence. House bill 186 clarifies the law regarding weapons in school safety zones consisting of any real property owned or leased by a school or postsecondary institution. This bill will amend provisions relating to carrying weapons within certain school safety zones and at school functions.…

    The Constitution and the Amendments are the basics of the US’s politics. However, sometimes, people, especially young people and teenagers, don’t have enough knowledge about it and so, they begin to abuse it as an excuse for any problem. Fortunately, in his “Why First Amendment still matters to students” article, Tony Mauro addressed this issue, but in a smaller scale, in schools and among students. To be more specific, according to Mauro, school officials often develop amnesia about the Tinker case, the case where a student was being violated of her rights by school officials, whenever a student deviates from some standard of behavior. Even though he had good intention when saying this, Mauro’s point of view was off target.…

    Most students carry a purse or backpack, which can be searched at a teacher or administrator’s discretion. In most cases, teachers do not search but rather report their suspicion(s) to an administrator. Now with the mass influx of technology, this decision will also affect students’ use of cell phones and other electronic devices that store information. It will be interesting to see if the decision in this case also applies to going through a student’s personal information, such as messages on a laptop or cell phone. The decision in New Jersey v. T.L.O. still stands that that school administrators don't need to have a search warrant or probable cause before conducting a search because students have a reduced expectation of privacy when in…

    Students do not "shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate," the Supreme Court famously said that in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. However, in the digital age, the formal request of Tinker has been very complicated by the fact that the schoolhouse gate is no longer restricted in certain categories to a brick-and-mortar structure, but may it now be a student 's home computer, tablet, or cell phone. In recent years, the number of social media and technology has provided people who teach others and people who support a policy alike with challenges concerning the legal rule made and protected by authority of student behavior, speech, and facial expressions, and whether the famous Tinker declaration stays…
