I never said she was upset with the school…not even close.

I guess they’re supposed to turn in their phone to the office each morning…and my son has not and does not…
So the rule was to turn it in each morning and he basically told them to F off he was not doing that ? Seems like he was being blatantly disrespectful and deserves whatever punishment he received. I saw you mention is was an all boys school, so obviously it is a private schools. Very easy decision, either follow the rules or choose a different school.

If you taught you're kids to follow the rules this wouldnt be a problem now would it?

Our school keeps it until end of day the first time and students can pick up their phone before going home.
After the first time, the parents have to go to the school to pick it up. How long it stays there is up to the parents. The point is to make the, aware of the issue and inconvenience them so they address it at home.
Chances are that the school keeping it for the week isn't the 1st or 2nd punishment either.

Parents did not know and for the most part did not care where their kids were. The only time it became an issue was if the parent needed the kid for something, like running to the store for cigarettes, of the kid had done something and another adult asked the parent about it. Our parents did not know where were, who we were with and what we were doing...and they did not care as long as we was home before it got dark or before curfew when we started driving
Sounds like you had some shitty parents. Mine wanted to know where I was and who I was with; they had very little ability to verify and simply trusted us to be honest, but they still wanted to know what we were doing and with who.

Is it any wonder why kids are so lazy and entitled these days?
Be the boss, you're the parent.

OP - the image of what the problem is in society today.
Don't even consider that your little lamb had it confiscated for a reason or possibly the young squire is lying to you (Because that is what teenage boys do when they f#ck up).
And, his phone was so important that working out was more important than checking in with parents. How about you teach your son to follow the school rules and be a little more responsible.

If they took it, then he had it out and was playing on it instead of doing whatever he was supposed to do.
I never tracked my son’s location. Never felt the need to. If my daughter got her phone taken, she would have to tell me where she was going and get back when she said she would. I track it now because she often gives other kids in the band rides and goes to places where she isn’t familiar. Plus her car is unreliable. I too was from the generation where we had to be home by dark and our parents usually didn’t know where we were. I sort of feel sorry for today’s kids, being “plugged in” all the time. My generation was happier and less anxious.

You gave a 17/18 year old a new sports car and get mad at him when he speeds?????

Gaston- confused about a lot it seems.

I only get mad at him when he picks up door dings in parking lots…gotta park that shite far away:

She was upset because she didn’t know where he was, not at the school. Keep up.

Sounds like you need to pop your titty out of his mouth.
Then don't send it to school

We had a large group meeting for work last month and everyone starting talking about their kids. I realized my wife and I were in a small minority of people who don’t track their kids movement somehow.
