That's technically illegal.  They need a warrant to search any private property (IE: backpacks, cellphones, even notebooks).  I can't wait for a lawesuit.

I'm not sure about your laws there, but here, when minors are in school, the school acts as their legal guardian.  As such, to be in school while a minor, most rights are given up, the same way parents have the right to search their own children's belongings. 

But perhaps it's different in the US, I don't know. 

Yup, thats right iago. Normally you would have the rights to privacy but in school you don't (kinda like jail).

This is totally bullshit, to say the absolute least. I can't wait until they implement this policy in our school *just* so I have something to sue them over.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Slashdot News: Idiotic boy tried to sue school, failed.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Lockers are school property and are subject to search at any time with or without prior notice, or stated or unstated reason.

Trust me fellas, I know all this.  Last year 12 kids from my grade (out of 50, mind you, a big part) were suspended because of things found in their backpacks.  The school was doing searches of lockers and backpacks.  Eventually all but 4 of them were unsuspended and apologized to because evidence for their suspension was found in their backpack, which is personal and private property, as opposed to their locker.  The other four stayed suspended because they were retards and were smoking weed in the halls after school the next day (fucking morons).
My school did something similiar.  They went through all the class rooms and halls with drug dogs searching.  We had to leave our backpacks in the class room.  If the dogs sniffed anything, that student was immediately sent to the office.  Needless to say, they always received a little time off from school.
It's legal to have dogs sniff.  They don't go in the backpack.  If a police dog detects something, that is probably cause and a search is permitted.  But faculty confiscating to search or just searching because they feel like it is illegal.

Who here has actually attended both a private and public school and actually taken notice enough to be an authority on the differences between public and private school systems ;)  Not I!

Mos def.  They checked the toys after we were done playing with them to see if there were any instances of drugs on them.  This toddler got busted for lighting a joint, putting it in the head of a barbie doll, and then sucking on the doll..

I dont think so.  I think public schools have more search authority vs. a private school's authority.

I believe its legal (somehow) for public schools in Tennese? to still paddle kids...I think private schools can do it whenever if they get parents to sign a waiver.

That sounds pretty fishy.  Some rights you can't waive, even if you sign a contract saying you have.
no, you can waive anything & everything I believe.  There was the one dude that went on fear factor & almost died...he couldnt sue even if he did die because he sign a waiver.
