DISCLAIMER (Of course, I'd have one 😁)
Hey, you might think that this info makes me your lawyer, but it doesn’t and I’m not. Sorry, but I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER unless we have an engagement agreement. I am just providing public information here, like a library does, and am not providing you with legal advice about your situation. So, it would be totally unreasonable for you to conclude we have an attorney-client relationship just because you're viewing this information.

That's why parents and kids should read the school handbook so they can find out what they can and can't do at school.

A teacher saw my cell phone IN MY LOCKER, TEN minutes before school started and took my phone the day before I was leaving for vacation. I don't forgive her.

In highschool we had a substitute teacher in our civics class for about a month or so, and he was a very chill dude. Didn’t have a problem with people using their phones as long as it wasn’t distracting.

One girl was constantly on her phone with notifications going off, and after repeated warnings he took her phone and promised to give it back at the end of class.

We were all so focused on our work that we didn’t notice until he handed her phone back - he put a layer of paper around the phone, and then wrapped it with multiple layers of duct tape 😂 it took her a good while to unroll it all, and we all had a good laugh about it. The girl was amused by it as well and not upset at all.

Fun fact: there was a lawsuit regarding this exact issue stating that keeping the child's phone overnight left the child vulnerable and unable to contact anyone when an emergency occurred. Or something along those lines.

A child can definitely refuse to give their phone up because a teacher can’t physically assault them to take it either.

Years ago, my teacher kept my smartwatch for 5 months despite my parents coming to get it back, when it was finally returned, the battery was ruined... still resent that teacher till this day

[thedumbdudes]

Damn Mike want all out for the realistic teacher voice. Its literally satan

I once left my phone at school by accident, so I had to get it the next day. We’re not supposed to have our phones at school but one of the teachers managed to negotiate and get me off the hook.

Thanks Mrs. Kenny. Greatest teacher ever!

Orphans when they say your parents have to pick up your phone:💀

Yeah, try to keep my son's phone that I bought him for emergency reasons, and you're going to have an emergency.

My school wouldn't give me mine until my mother came. She was forced to walk after a total hip replacement even after explaining the situation. I had it taken while doing a 120fps slow mo of me and my friends running during lunch. I was so proud of my 10mp camera. The tech was crazy back then to me and my friends back then

I wasn't in class

In 5th grade i had a teacher that had it out for me. I wasnt a bad student... he just simply didnt like me. I went to the restroom, and when i came back he took all of my pokemon cards from my backpack (its how i made friends) and gave them to another student and told me i didn't deserve them. Was too embarrassed to tell my mother. Finally told her as an adult.

You know you're cooked when Mike says "unless"

One day my best friend was on her phone trying to call her mom because she was eng feeling well and the teacher came up and took her phone for the whole week. When it was time for her to get her phone back apparently they lost her phone and didn’t want to even look for it. So now it’s been 1 year and they still didn’t find it. Crazy

If they can take my phone they can also take these hands

[PokeBurnPlease]

Glad went to school in germany. Taking the phone for longer than the school day is considered a crime here and the school would be in big trouble if they refuse.

We had a kid with a lawyer as father and well he changed our teachers mind when they thought its ok to keep the phone till a guardian comes.

The teacher nearly got fired for it too.

Back when I was in school over a decade ago I saw a interaction of a teacher confiscating a students phone and refusing to return it at the end of the day.

The student rightly pissed off was immediately scared and offered to stop arguing the point and behave should the teacher give the phone back after class. The deal was not taken.

So the student admitted they don't need to play with the phone at school but they sure as hell need it to get home safely, because the threat of filming or calling the police was on the few things keeping her safe on the way home.

Teacher flat out said not my problem and kept the phone.
Later heard the student was followed and harassed all the way home without any way to call for help.

Keep your phone close and don't give anyone a reason, excuse or opportunity to take it from you. It is a tool that can save your life first, a device to make life more convenient second and a toy last. Be grateful if you have one at all, because a lot of people before you didn't when the world was even less safe than it is now.
