Is it weird for my school to search their students and have drug sniffing dogs?
Sometimes at my school we have to randomly get searched or go through metal detectors. Or sometimes they bring dogs in the school to search for drugs. And if the metal detector goes of because maybe you have metal on your pants or jacket or bra an adult has to search you and they get too close and touchy. I don't even do drugs or get in trouble. Do you think that's weird or wrong? Is my school the only school that does this?

No I don't think it is weird. I think it is a shame that we must resort to doing things like this to keep you safe in school.
Where I live in our middle schools and High schools we have what they call resource Officers. They are on Duty Police Officers that Patrol the hallways and teach a class as well. Their primary purpose is two fold. Student safety and to get to know the students. Recently there have been discussion on if it necessary to expand this program to our elementary schools. The need to do so is a bigger shame that it has become necessary.
The shame of all this is that we need to do this. There was a time when this was not even thought off. I'm 65 years old. When I went to school we never thought about bringing any type of weapon to school. Teachers had total parental control of us. If we stepped out of line they treated us as if we were one of their own children.
I remember in high school if a fight broke in the cafeteria they would call Mr. Fraley the football coach. He would walk into the middle of whatever and bodies started flying out middle of the fight. Today they call the Police.
I remember how pleasant it was to travel by air. Going to the airport was exciting. You checked in. You and those seeing you off all went to the gate. You plane watched, you boarded and everyone was pleasant. Today just getting to the gate can take longer than most of the flights.
No its not weird it is just a sign of the times and it is very unfortunate that we must do so.

No it's no weird, some schools do drug searches. Drugs is a growing problem with school kids who can get their hands on the stuff. Sniffer dogs are specially trained to sniff out drugs and if the school has allowed them to be there then it's fine. The metal detectors are probably there for detecting any kind of weapon (like a knife - the blade is metal).
You may not do drugs but other students might, (you don't know for sure but thg might be the case) and if your principle is aware of a problem like drugs then he/she might have searches done.
You probably not the only school that does drug searches and do I find it wrong? Personallly no, it might be a waste of time for the people who don't do drugs but it cracks down on people who do drugs.
