I'm not okay with teachers taking someones property. I'm not sure why you are.

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.
