I am against metal detectors being placed in school for the three following specific reasons. I think metal detectors should not be allowed in schools because It doesn't give the school a good Impression based on how parents will look at it. Another reason why we shouldn't have metal detectors in schools is because metal detectors aren't always correct. Lastly schools shouldn't have metal detectors because they can cause students to be late to class because of all the things they have to go through when messing with metal detectors in schools.

The main reason schools shouldn't have metal detectors because it gives a bad reputation and parents might have a second thought about putting their child in that school. According to a man named [|William Modzelski], director of the safe and drug free schools, "Some schools with a weapons problem can benefit from them. But they can send a wrong message and have an adverse effect on the climate of the school."

The Second main reason why schools shouldn't have metal detectors Is because metal detectors aren't always correct. For example metal detectors are as good as their operators. So say the metal detector operator didn't construct the metal detector correctly in won't work as efficiently as it's suppose to. Therefor [|metal detectors] won't always work.

Third main reason on why schools shouldn't have metal detectors is going through the metal detector process can be embarrassing to some students when they have to empty out their bags. Another thing is they do violate the privacy of these high school students causing embarrassment.“The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides in part that ‘The right of the people to be secure in their personal belongings shall not be [|violated] ".

However people might say with out metal detectors there would be an increase in school violence. For example in[| Bethel Alaska,in 1997] a teenager brought a gun to school told many classmates what he was going to do. With metal detectors the shooting of two students and their school principle could have been prevented from happening.

Either way there were only [|71] shootings over the past ten years that's not bad and metal detectors are just making problems and things seem more worse than they really are. Therefor metal detectors are simply exaggerating. Also another point is metal detectors just make matters seem worse than it is.

But their are metal detectors in airports,museums,prisons and malls to help and protect people why not also use them in schools to keep our children safe from harm. The same reason we are protecting our kids in malls,airports and etc we should do the same were they get their education.

One reason schools shouldn't have metal detectors is because it makes kids feel uncomfortable going through the security system in airports so why make them go through it at school. Elizabeth who attends [|John F. Kennedy High School] says it's uncomfortable when they wand you all over your body. Elizabeth also says they think that there is something on your body that might bring danger to your school and even if you don't they still treat you like it. She also says students shouldn't feel or be treated like their in prison.

In conclusion [|metal detectors are good for schools and should be used]. My conclusion disagrees with my theses statement because although metal detectors give a bad reputation to schools they are still used for good causes like decreasing the violence inside of schools. Another reason why metal detectors should be allowed Is because it will control the fact that kids bring weapons to school. So therefor metal detectors should be allowed in schools for our pupils safety.
