Q. Today at lunch we got in a little trouble with our lunch superviser. He suspected us of something but we denied it. He looked through our purses becasue he wanted to find out if it was us. I mean he can't do that can he? What if we had something personal in there??
Answer
Legal in the USA. And I think that it should be. Children have no right to privacy where their safety or the safety of other children are concerned. I don't know if it was legal to do it in front of other kids, but they do have the right. And no they don;t have to get permission from the police. Its the other way around. If the police want to just come into a school and go through lockers... purses etc, they need a warrant, or permission from the school... like an invitation from the Principal.
Very telling that you say you denied it, but you don't tell us that you or your friends weren't responsible. Also very telling that you don't say what happened. They just don't rifle through kids bags randomly (although they should), they do it when they suspect something. It isn't usually the 4.0 kids that aren't ever in trouble and have a healthy well adjusted and positive school attitude that they suspect and search when something happens. Take this as a warning sign. You can turn your life around and do something with yourself... or you can end up working nights at a gas station. Its your choice. But at least stop interfering with other students ability to learn and get an education... they will be your boss someday, you don't want to make them hate you now and retaliate later in life do you?
Grandmaster B - "TELL HIM IF HE HAS A WARRANT and its not legal " Your syntax is as good as your advice. You "ask" a question, you don't "tell" a question. They don't need a warrant... nor do they have the ability to get one. Hmmm.... I think that you are going to end up with a job with your name on your shirt.

Is Grad School Culture Really Like This?
Q. So I go to a really good school in the USA, and I was considering graduate school for math or physics as I am a double major. I have started trying to try to get a glimpse of what life is like as a graduate student. I must say that after talking with one of my TAs and running into him a few times around campus, I am a little bit disgusted. I thought grad school was the time when all the simpletons were gone from campus, and those of us left on the other side got to thrive in the culture of learning, and be progressive, truly intellectual people.
However I have a TA for a very high level math class that is getting his PhD with a thesis focus in algebraic geometry and has quite a few publications. However, this guy is for a lack of a better word a tool bag dimwitted slob. I always see him jogging with this big dopey grin on his face. He still wears his old fraternity letters hoodie to class (ARE YOU KIDDING ME). When I go to his office hours, his cubicle is at the back of the room facing the wall, so I can see what he is doing on the internet. He is always on some forum for Jersey Shore or Mob Wives, or is literally watching WWE wrestling youtube videos(again seriously!!!!). The other day I saw him eating at the campus McDonalds with his girlfriend who went outside and smoked a cigarette mid-meal.
Whenever I ask about math in office hours, he always says something to the effect of... "Oh **** dude, the prof didn't want me to go over that one, but... it's just so badass man I have to haha..." He then proceeds to give a very descriptive detail of the solution to the exercise, pausing and saying, "you understand man?" I feel so insulted that this idiot with a trucker's vocabulary is asking ME if I understand!!! It's insulting, and he should know not to do that with the image he puts off.
Please tell me that graduate school life is not the path to trailer trash lifestyle, middle class neighborhoods, fast food, girlfriends who can't get the whole way through their big mac without a smoke break, and reality TV. I know that there are a lot of intellectuals out there in grad school, but I just need some reassurance.
Thanks

Answer
"However, this guy is for a lack of a better word a tool bag dimwitted slob" So you're judgemental
"He still wears his old fraternity letters hoodie to class (ARE YOU KIDDING ME). " critical of other people's clothing choices.
"When I go to his office hours, his cubicle is at the back of the room facing the wall, so I can see what he is doing on the internet"
what's your point?
"He is always on some forum for Jersey Shore or Mob Wives, or is literally watching WWE wrestling youtube videos(again seriously!!!!)."
I can guarantee you watch something or have a hobby that that I think is stupid
"The other day I saw him eating at the campus McDonalds with his girlfriend who went outside and smoked a cigarette mid-meal"
your point?
"I know that there are a lot of intellectuals out there in grad school, but I just need some reassurance."
Basically you think you are an elite intellect when in reality right now you are an undergrad which means you know next to nothing. I'm sure there are "progressive intellectual" people in grad schools--but that doesn't mean the are more intelligent or will accomplish more in their fields than someone whose hobby is watching WWE.
I watched the last UFC PPV--the people in the room were 2 dentists, a chiropractor, a neurologist, a college professor of physics, and 3 engineers. A lot of intelligence and schooling in that room, but according to you, an undergrad student, you seem to be more intellectual than any of us.
Get ready for a wakeup call when you find out that "dimwitted slobs" are MUCH more intelligent than you are. You are the most prejudiced and judgemental person I've ever heard of--and that's what I'd expect from someone who wants to be a progressive intellect.
