At my school the staff uses random locker searches. These searches can be anytime, day or night since I live at a residential high school/vocational trade center. The staff looks for drugs and alcohol, which is understandable because Job Corps is a federally funded program. However, staff also looks for nail files, scissors, aspirins, and even “too many” snacks. Most students think that these not so random locker searches are an invasion of privacy and should not be done at all. It is true that Job Corps are funded by the Department of Labor and has been a good program for many years. It was started in the 1960’s during President Lyndon Johnson’s presidency to help undereducated young people between the ages of 16-24 to get a trade and a high …show more content…

Too many snacks is now. Staff “tear” up a room looking for cookies! A blog http://thedetroithub.com/2011/08/23/locker_searches) reports that if a locker is on school property then it can be searched. This just not right, in my opinion. It may be on school property but the property inside the locker does not belong to the school. Answers.

They are mostly drop-outs or underprivileged kids who do not have a support system to help them succeed.

The staff at Job Corps Center should and most do, everything they can, to boost up the self-esteem of each and every student that enters the Job Corps Program.

Indeed, given both external threats and unruly (sometimes violent) student behavior, it makes sense to think that the most sensible course of action is to err on the side of more stringent measures, harsher sanctions and less permissive administration. It largely comes down to liability - whenever an individual with a history of troubled or criminal behavior snaps or becomes involved in an incident severe enough to attract government or media attention, many of the questions asked in the aftermath are variations on "why was this person not in jail. " The same applies to schools, where administrators often end up having to justify themselves to parents and
