Three boys got arrested today at school. One boy beat the shit out of this guy for being friends with his ex-girlfriend who dumped him because he was too violent. The kid who got beat up walked through the hall Friday with blood pouring down his face from his head. He is still in the hospital today. I can't believe the other guy had the balls to come to school. Abra is so upset about the whole thing.
Then these two other boys got arrested for dealing drugs at school. Everyone is talking all about how it's a violation of our privacy to go through lockers and all that. I don't buy it. All the people saying that are people who I know for a fact use.
The lockers belong to the school - they're just letting us use them. I don't keep ANYTHING in my locker except books. That's the whole point of a bookbag.
If this is what happens on a Monday, I can't imagine what's going to happen the rest of the week. Christ.

Hang in there and try to enjoy senior year. My daughter is complaining about the homework in second grade too.
You're right about there being no right to privacy in school lockers. That issue has gone to a few courts and every time the judges say exactly what you did--the school owns the lockers and has the right to look in them.
My neices school won't let the kids bring backpacks into class anymore, if it can hold a book you can't bring it in the classroom, it must be in the Locker, which they can search.
I thought senior year would be a breeze, I was so wrong, but thankfully once I started college that last year or non-stop work prepared me and I wasn't so overwhelmed, it just felt normal. Hang in there it'll be worth it in the end.
