In my opinion teachers need a student aid to watch their room while they go out to do their business. They can lock their doors or allow a certain amount of kids in their room. However, since these thefts we have created a new school rule in which a security guard must escort you to the bathroom, your locker, your counselor or anywhere in the building. I just think it’s unfair that everyone has to suffer because one person ruined it for the whole school.
