My DS says that he is allowed to use his phone in many classes and in the hallway between classes but that certain teachers will confiscate phones on sight. If they're confiscating them and taking them to the office, there must be a rule. I don't understand how this standard can be enforced so capriciously. My son's phone was recently confiscated because he was checking the time.

Is there no clock on the wall?

He will have to learn to keep it put away with teachers who enforce the rule.

Most MS kids can't tell time on an analog clock.

Are you joking?!!!

Is your child non-white by any chance?

OP here. My child is white. He is often singled out because he is social. And to everyone wondering about him checking the time on his phone, he doesn't know how to read the school clocks (and neither does your kid).

My kid absolutely does know how to tell the time. This blows my mind! Your kid got to middle school without learning to tell the time? WTF?!!! And you think that’s normal? Something is very wrong here. Why haven’t you taught him? Does he have a learning disability?

My MS child can definitely read the time on an analog clock.
I get why you're annoyed because teachers enforce the policy in a biased manner but if you think your child is targeted because he's "social" that makes me roll my eyes.
Your child is likely targeted because your child is disruptive.

OP - how did your child know what time it was in elementary school BEFORE they had a cell phone? You are winning the most naive parent award today.

You are very polite. I would have used a different word than naïve.
