You are the reason we need dress codes in schools. The kids come in dressed like streetwalkers, and I don't even blame the kid because I can only imagine what kind of parent allows their child to come to school dressed that way. Your language on this message board speaks volumes as to what kind of person and parent you are (or will be).

You laugh, but my high school has no lockers. Students have to carry everything around all day.

this is very gay

Hey, all of you who think that we shouldn't have locker checks, think again. Would you rather have someone doing drugs and selling them around the school? Or would you rather be safe knowing that your school know about it and has taken care of the problem? What are you worried about? If you have nothing hidden in your locker what is the big deal about them searching it? Do have something to hide?

i go to columbine hs im still alive there is no strict dress code no crazy people were all really close because of what happend and well they trust us dont have to but they do look at this when you want change things like trust in your students we all love its all in us... and well if they tourcher us from the strat its only 4 years then we can vote (OBAMA)

[tmeans]

locker checks help make sure our schools are safer. so many kids come to school with drugs or guns that teachers feel it nessasary to check our lockers. and only the people who have nothing to hide are truley ok with locker checks! thats how i feel about the matter, and i'm a 8th grader!

[Austyn Davis]

i dont think there shoul be locker checks period because if they have a problem then they can use metal detectors first be4 they start searching through my private things that i put in a locker for a reson!!!!!

[lucky]

there should be locker checks and uniforms. when my sister was at school, someone brought a gun to school. this year, another kid brought a knife and tried to stab someone who hardly speaks english.
