I'm not a teacher and don't really care about this one way or the other but was just kind of wondering what would be acceptable in this situation.
If I were a teacher, I would let it be known very well on the first day of class that if I caught a student texting or even having a cell phone in my classroom, I would take their phone and smash it in front of their class. I would also make sure their parents were aware of this policy to avoid any problems.

it's ok even if you're not a teacher. there should be a law in movie theatres that if you TALK on a cell while the movie is going on you get it smashed. It's bad enough when those fuckin' things ring but talking on it, that's just awful and should result in a smashing.

No, it is not okay to destroy someone's property. Confiscate it, sure. Keep it and call their parents to pick it up.
But if a teacher smashed my kids cell phone, I would smash his face. Seriously.
That shit is expensive. You are a teacher, not God or Hitler.

Fuck that, if a kid is dumb enough to bring his phone into a class of a hard assed teacher, they should pay the consequeces of not following the rules. Why would a kid need to have their phone in a class anyway? I personally don't believe they should be allowed in schools period. I would also bet that after one or two kids phones got smashed the others would be leaving them in their lockers where they belong. Also, if some kids parent is stupid enough to waste a great deal of money on a phone that is their own fault since most teenagers will either a) lose it b) break it or c) send pictures of their genitals to their fellow classmates.  |

I agree with you as far as kids not needing their cell phones in class. But two wrongs don't make a right. You can discipline a student for using a cell phone without resulting to caveman actions. Bottom line is that phone is my/my kid's property. Smashing it is illegal, and wrong for that matter. It's kind of funny to see you take the side of a hard-ass teacher though. Especially considering the kind of student you were. I don't think "following the rules" was big on your priority list. Mine either for that matter. Take the phone away. Send the kid to detention. Call me up and tell me what my kid did. Release the phone to me, and I will punish the kid how I see fit. You break my phone though, and you will feel the wrath ........... the wrath of the nunchucks yo.  |

How did we ever get by without cell phones in class? I don't think it should be destroyed but maybe taken for a day and maybe more.

School should take it for the remainder of the school year. The last thing you want is some prole parent saying "Oh you have to give junior's phone back" then you give it back and fucking junior hasn't learned shit about authority. Not surprised that longhairs like iammrhawkeyes take such a soft on crime stance.
