What is wrong with your wife?
Tell your kid to stop being an arse and he can keep his phone. Problem solved.

Oh wow. You do realize that with teens it's never a question of will then have a wreck...it's WHEN will they have a wreck. They pretty much all do.

Take the phone, enter the wrong password 5 times, hand the phone back to the kid.
Problem solved.
Problem solved.

Oh they have for sure…and they spelled out how the punishment would graduate with repeated violations…there is zero pushback from us. He knew what the punishment would be for sure.
Then how and why did you start the thread with this line ?

IDK how a school can keep a kid’s phone for a week.
It is a policy AND the school WARNED EVERYONE involved, but your son continued to defy all authority at school. They were giving the parents a chance to handle it themselves, but the school had to essentially step in and dish out the punishment due to the parents inability to straighten out the situation.

Kids can cheat, be distracted, look at porn, and do all kinds of things on a phone. It wouldn’t help them in school at all and can only harm their learning and the school environment as a whole.

So I guess it’s okay that your child is not paying attention in class just so you and your wife can feel better knowing they are really in school when they are supposed to be. Sounds to me like you and your wife do not trust your child and need to know where they are at all times so y’all are okay. If you raised your kids right they will normally do the right thing and the times that they don’t are life lessons that can’t be taught by parents.

I only get mad at him when he picks up door dings in parking lots…gotta park that shite far away:
You got him a nice new car and he's already got dings on it?
It sounds like your son is going to have to learn a lot of rules the hard way.

I don’t think AirTags track speed - but it will let your wife know where your kids is. Just tell your kid it can track his speed.

Here is a sample discussion:
Son, your use of this vehicle was tied to the accountability which your phone provided. Since your failure to follow the school rules lost the phone, it also lost your ability to drive this vehicle. Chains work in a manner which the weakest link breaks the chain. Learn this lesson!
Lapses result in consequences.
The school bus arrives at __:__ o'clock.
Be on it.
Or if there is no bus option one of you needs to drive him and retrieve him.
Or he needs to spend his allowance to Uber to school.
Inconvenient, yes, but this is a discipline issue, so no compromises are appropriate - at any level.
Start raising this kid correctly.

You should probably accept the fact that you and your wife are helicopter parents.

I’ve got some Garmin tracking collars, do you want to borrow one?

This has nothing to do with whether the government has a right to confiscate your property in the absence of a crime or legal issue.
