The lockers are actually the property of the school, and so is the space inside the lockers.  Although most schools will generally honor students' privacy inside the lockers, they are not legally obligated to do so.  They have every right to invade that privacy if they believe there is a good reason for doing so.

its a bad thing and a good thing. the good is students need it for safety, but the bad is distracting other students or probably even distract the student that has it. if i was a teacher, i would let my students bring one, but not used for inappropriate things like talking to their girlfriend/boyfriend/or some other business. school is a place to learn, not a place to mess around.

It's preferable to the school district because it's confidential and they can tell you to fuck off and because it's confidential no one will know and it won't become part of the record.  \n\nIt's unfortunate, but go to "Protection and Advocacy" site and request the book they have entitled "Special Education Rights and Responsibilities".  You will be well armed and more able to protect your child.

school systems think it's a good idea beacause they think it's a new idea and that's good enough for them... wrong! i first heard about these uniforms by reading old 1930's news reels, of course it was a little difficult to understand because the narration was in german. -george carlin\n\nschool uniforms make kids uncomfortable and that makes for a bad learning environment and high tension among the students

Do you mean the schools make them ONLY wear underwear - nothing else? If this is the case, I would be talking to the schools directly, I am unsure if/how this can be justified myself, maybe the school itself has reasons - but ultimately you are the best person to judge what is right and desirable for your child, so if you are not happy with their response, say so - with your words and with your feet if need be. Good luck!

there are always peer pressure in schools and in colleges. others do that because they want a sense of belonging. that is why nowadays the schools and colleges are not safe at all and during those years back, parents used to worry less when their children went to school but now it is their worst nightmares because they can hear anytime that their children had died or something. the world is becoming badder and badder.

For one thing, I imagine that schools are worried that their students will tred into dangerous territory.  There have been numerous instances of children going into chat rooms and later ending up in a dangerous situation, usually by meeting someone they met in a chat room face-to-face.  So, to prevent such things from happening, schools block access to chat rooms from their computers.\n\nI also agree with the answer previously given:  class time is not play time.

Your best bet is to access those sites elsewhere, and just not access them at school.  They may be blocking the sites because of liability reasons, meaning if you were to access the sites, they could get sued for allowing you to, not to mention you may get in way more trouble than you really are barganing for.

I can't imagine that a school would ever put up a site like this or that government regulations would allow it. Although your intentions seem harmless enough, you can understand how this might violate students' privacy and put them in potential danger.

yes, they can search knapsacks and lockers, I don't know if they can search the actual body of a student.

maybe because they feel that pda is distracting to students and the teachers and principals feel that they mush "enrich the learning experience" by having a school which is only focused on education and not promoting distractions\n\nbut otherwise.. we should all ask the schools..

because lockers help kids organize their belongings. Also, if we didnt have lockers, we would have to carry everything in our bags the whole day, and i know that my bag would get pretty heavy. Instead, i get to go to my lockers at lunch to get everything that i need for the evening, and put away everything i needed for the morning. Tell me if this helped you by making this the best answer please.

I'm not sure but I think it's really stupid.  I think it's just because some kids don't have that good of a self exteem so they need to be able to lable other kids.  At least that's how it is at my school.

I would agree on the 1st answer...\n\nIt is called privacy on their part... Why? They want a security from people who would do pranks and other stuffs...

This is not right. We have so many blind schools and I have seen special sections in the schools for these kind of kids. Problem I feel is in there own family who dosent give the courge to these kind of childrens otherwise we see many blinds are working on computer related jobs.
