"At that time, an order was given over the school's intercom system for students to place all of their personal belongings" i guess it's OK for the teachers to do it, just not students...

Students were required to pile their belongs in the hall. I find it hard to believe that at least one student went to retrieve his belongings only to find that they were ‘missing.”
The perfect invitation to theft.
Home school ping.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

What exactly are student rights, anyway?
“What exactly are student rights, anyway?”
As far as I’m concerned “The right to do as you’re told by the adults in your life”.
If my kids had ever said they knew what their rights were their father and I would have laughed ourselves silly.
.
In lieu of all the teacher / student clandestine relationships that come up throughout the school year, it would be a shame if a ‘concerned’ parent asked the Police to check on the nasty rumor that Ms Thomson may be having an affair with a student.
“I have no absolute proof, just heard kids talking etc and a lot of snickering when her name is mentioned.”
“Am sure this is nothing but I would sleep better if I knew it wasn’t true”.
Of course, if this was the ‘first’ story ‘WE’ would be on ‘her’ side BUT seeing as how she instituted this BS, maybe a little turnabout is ‘fair play”.
Zero Tolerance. The policy you have when it hurts too much to think.
As far as I’m concerned “The right to do as you’re told by the adults government bureaucrats in your life”.
There, moved it to the next logical step. The government views you and me as children to be told what to do by the adults (them)
Same here. We obeyed the rules set by our parents. WTH has happened to our society?
The school building belongs to the state or local community, the lockers belong to the same entity, the parking lot is also theirs....they are searching their own property....for the protection of those who use it....What’s the problem??
As a parent of four kids, ranging in age from 17 to 24 (and yes the 18 yr old, 22 yr old and almost 24 yr old are adults),we laugh when they say they have rights lol. Kidding somewhat but you get my point. Until you are self supporting and living on your own, my word is law.
“In order to pass the test, the dogs simply had to detect nothing. But out of 144 runs, that only happened 21 times, which amounted to an 85-percent failure rate.
Those dogs are borderline worthless. “
Maybe the dogs were thrown off the scent by Doritos and chocolate smuggled in to supplement Moochelle’s lunches.
Yes, it’s always good to find out that one student out of ....hundreds? has tobacco. Nodding. Yup.
Rewriting a bit: The town park belongs to the state or local community. They would be searching their own property for the protection of those who use it. Therefore, when walking in the park, be prepared to be searched without cause.
It sounds like a rational policy to prevent the rockland school from becoming a Baltimore or Philadelphia school
I would characterize that as a low-info comment.
The demographics of Rockland prevent such a thing, not police theatrics.
Fundamentally, compulsory government schooling is evil.
