This is yet another insane thing. If you're detained and not charged, you should automatically be given a transfer, no questions asked - and it should be explicitly mandated so.

Schools aren't really subject to the Fourth Amendment and students explicitly have lesser constitutional rights, so they don't really need to worry about gray areas or limits.

The main problem with the suggestion is rather that

1. Schools typically do teach students about their Fourth (among other) Amendment rights, usually in a high-school civics class at the very latest, many students just aren't particularly interested or don't particularly care about paying attention in class.

2. Every time there's a skill or pool of knowledge many adults don't have we default to "They should really teach this in school instead of all the other stupid bullshit they waste their time on," but it turns out all the stupid bullshit they waste their time on is other skills or knowledge pools that people have, over the years, agreed that they should really teach in school. So either you're proposing that schools get more funding and students are kept there for more hours to teach all the additional skills you want students to come out with, or you need to choose a subject to cut, and rest assured that any particular subject you choose will have an existing group of advocates leap to its defense - if it didn't, it would have already been cut after Reaganomics, NCLB, the 2008 GFC, COVID19, or the numerous other occasions we've found opportunities to trim school budgets.

I am of the opinion that "lockdown" is illegal detention, and conditioning them from a very young age to accept it.

The malcom in the middle episode about the ACLU or Rock and roll high school are classic examples of this.

There's also almost no recourse even if your rights are violated. If you are lucky any evidence gets excluded from a future trial. But what about some remedy? It is outrageously difficult to sue individual state police or state police departments. Federal agents are even more protected, with Bivens being slowly crushed into nothingness.

Big difference in Canada is that judges can be fully aware of an illegal unconstitutional search but convict you anyway from evidence collected from it if they feel like it.

And fewer jury trials (positive or negative depending on your point of view), and the prosecutor is free to appeal a not guilty ruling.

In my experience with both countries, American constitutional rights are stronger, but Canadian police are less corrupt (but universally unpleasant)

As walrus01 said, yes the 4th amendment has a almost word for word parallel in the CCRF, specifically section 8:

8. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.

However, it's important to know that the Canadian courts have interpreted the law differently then American courts.

There is also a whole body of precedents and case law in canada specific to charter rights, broadly similar to US rights, but with different terminology.

It’s sort of a foundational principle of the American system that power will always overreach, and adversarial checks and balances are always required to keep power in line. Saying it’s ridiculous to teach kids about their rights is, in that light, roughly comparable to saying it’s ridiculous that the government produces documents (i.e. the Bill of Rights) asserting what it can’t do. Far from being ridiculous it’s about as fundamentally American as it gets.

It’s a joke because most American schools are run by the government.

Forget schools, we already have to talk to kids about how to act around the police like they are some dangerous animal. Except if they were some dangerous animal we would have done the sensible thing and shot them all already.

Quit the hyperbole. This seems like a basic Civics class topic.

Indeed, though I would also hope that it could be included in a more general and varied curriculum about the constitution and bill of rights, all other amendments, civil rights act, etc.
