SAFE OR NOT!

In my school, Constitution High, it us a daily routine for students to get their school bags check. But do they really check them?

Since the year 2008, Con high students have been getting their school bags check every morning to make sure that student are in a safe invirnment. For the last 5 months NTA staff member have been conducted the morning searches.

During my research I found that teachers do not participate in the morning searches. This could be a big debatable issue. Just because they are adults they are considered safe. Another was that the NTAs just feel the bag and then let you go. I wanted to know more about this problem and its results so I decided to conducted an experiment. So one morning I brought two sharp scissors and placed them on the bottom of my bag. I got in line and when it was my turn to get check they check my bag and just let me go. This put some questions in my mind, Do the NTA s really care if the students are safe or not. So I interviewed two students to see what theirs was about schools searches .
Shade Miller Q: what do you think about school searches?
A: I think it’s a waste of time they (teachers)don’t care if where safe or not. I can put a gun in my bag and nobody wont find out.
Dyneisha Dyson Q: what do you think about morning school searches?
A: I hate it. They don’t even check them properly. They should get reported and also I don’t like that teachers are excused from it. That’s not fair at all.

So I would like to conclude this issue with saying through out research it show that my school, Constitution high does not properly checks school bags.
