1) It was a violation of the fourth amendment because the fourth amendment states that a person is secure in their house, papers, and effects. Since they did not have a warrant to search her purse, they violated her fourth amendment.

2) The fourth amendment does not apply to students in a school setting because if  there is suspicion that a crime has been or  is in the process of being committed, or reasonable cause to believe then the search is necessary to maintain school discipline or enforce school policies.

3) The search was reasonable to me because they were caught by a teacher and then to lie about it seems suspicious. It was also necessary because it could have involved the safety of students.

4) I believe that if there is a case in which it involves the safety of other students, they should be able to search the belongings of that student.

5) Since it involved substances that are not permitted in a school setting, I believe that the Supreme Court would have made the same decision of allowing the principle of searching the purse without any warrant because it could have put other students in danger.
