Argument 4:

Negative consequences of school searches are that teachers can misuse their power. The searches give the school staff a sense of power if it is a search for no reason. Teachers might use this power to mistreat a student if they don’t like them. Some belongings might be a source of embarrassment for the student. For example love letters, embarrassing photo's and magazines, contraceptives, or medicines

Students most likely won't stop doing illegal things just because they get caught, they should be taught about how dangerous the consequences are.

Schools should find alternative ways to do random checks of all students all year round to warn students in the hope illegal items will not enter the school ground at all. Schools should not be finding things once they are in the school but stopping them before they are able to get in the first place. Some examples are metal detectors at school entrances and cameras in/outside the school.

Searches that were successful in the sense that they found items that are against the school’s policy don’t give the school certainty and proof that that particular person is guilty.

What if the item was placed in someone’s possession by others on purpose or as a joke to get innocent people in trouble?. In this case, it will be very hard for the student to prove their innocence.

Argument 1

Even with regulations and policies, students will find a creative way to be rebellious. To prevent them from doing this, schools must educate students to make ‘being rebellious’ less desirable. They can do this by showing them how dangerous things like smoking and drinking are in order to ensure that they don’t want to start in the first place. Schools should change the student's mindset so they are not going to do bad stuff in the first place.
