Wait, what?

There is nothing a kid NEEDS his phone for in high school, so there's no reason it shouldn't be confiscated if the kid is abusing the privilege of having it on him during class.

I'm not okay with teachers taking someones property. I'm not sure why you are. You realize that it's very common to confiscate phones for days or weeks and not just until the end of class, right?

If you're not supposed to have it in class and you're using it in class, I have zero issue with the teacher taking it until the end of class.

That's a complete separate issue, if so.

Teachers have always taken things from students if they felt it was a distraction or safety concern.

My Dad was a HS teacher on the South Side of Chicago and they were ordered to confiscate phones if they were used in class.

Dad actually got written up once for not doing it because the assistant principal saw one of his students on their phone as he walked by the classroom. Of course the kid didn't get in trouble.
