The teachers should have control over the assignments

By this I meant hall duty assignments, its not so good that they can decide this is not part of their contract.

I agree that schools should teach valid history, and they could even discuss whether lockers should be private, or remain the property of the schools. You could review the search and seisure laws and see whether they apply to school age kids, and under what instances the school authorities may search a kid's backpack.

Your answers sound like it would be tough on teachers, but I guess you can have the point. Kids in decades past were not searched by school personnel I guess? What age would you say the bill of rights applies? What about parents looking in a kids room? How far does this go?

I went to school in the 90s and had my locker searched and a newspaper story censored. They searched our cars once, too. I live in a very low-crime area, so the searches were just to keep us on our toes. They found pot in one kid's car. Good thing they found that. Who knows if the school would have survived if he had kept smoking pot.

I disagree that the school has parental rights. A parent can spank a kid, but the school is rapidly losing that right. A parent should be able to toss the kid's room up. The school, which is an arm of government, should have to get a search warrant. Unfortunately, the supreme court rarely agrees with my expert Constitutional interpretations, mostly because they are statists and don't want to undercut government power.
