[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20 years ago my high school had a rule that it had to be in your locker. And if it came out, assistant principals would confíscate it. And parents had to go pick it up to get it back.

I understand teachers not taking phones but I fail to see why principals or admins can’t? [/quote]

That’s a good idea! The responsibility of the phone is the parent’s, so the parent is inconvenienced and to come collect the phone if mis-used. Not the teacher. [/quote]

Administrators are rightfully wary about confiscating phones. [b]Parents have a tendency to get defensive and angry[/b] when a school takes their child’s property.

Our administration used to collect phones that were confiscated by teachers throughout the day. This stopped because our front office workers [b]were getting routinely abused by they parents [/b]who came to pick them up. [/quote]
This is exactly why most teachers don't give parenting advice. The ones who would be on the receiving end are the least likely to take it. The student's behavior does not improve and the the teacher has to deal with angry tirades. [/quote]
