Due to a rise in drug use among teenagers, schools have begun to perform regular locker checks to make sure students are not harboring drugs or other illegal materials in their backpacks. Some say that this is a violation of the student’s privacy. Others suggest that this is necessary for the safety of the students. Both are correct in thinking the way they do.
