(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So basically I was in school and this shit happened.

I was sitting in class, no talking, not being disruptive or being a nuisance in any way. I had my earphones hanging from in side my shirt as I was listening to music earlier, when suddenly, my friend shouts out "Dan, are you listening to an I-Pod?". When he said this the teacher approached me and asked me to hand it over. I said "It's not turned on," to which she replied "I don't care, hand it over." (before you ask, yes I was mad.)

So I can now expect my mobile phone to be returned in 10 school days. I have agreed with the school rules so I am not dissing them, but the school clearly state in my journal: "Use of a mobile phone on the school premises is prohibited, if a student is seen using a mobile phone it may be confiscated for up to ten school days. A repeat offence may result in a three day suspension". So you see my argument huh?

So what do you think, should I have had my phone taken off me? After all, school is a place to learn and phones often disrupt the class when work is being done.
Or do you think it's okay once it's turned off. I mean what would you do in an emergency with no way of contacting someone?

Okay so vote on the poll and tell me your arguments for why it should/shouldn't be allowed.

PS. Inb4 "cool story bro","Umad" or "tl;dr". :lol:

LoL Yeah we have a bad mouth =D

No. I think thats ridiculous if you're not using it, why take it?

Hell no they shouldn't it is ur phone and the teacher has no right to jack ur stuff.

Phone's definitely shouldn't be taken away from you in school.

Yea the cellphones must be close in the classes.After school they can open them.

teachers in my school cant confiscate your phone....they can warn you three times and if they think its a real problem they will take it further

Couldn't give a shit. College

Best way to get students to not play with their phone in school is to tell the kids to put it on the top left (or right) corner on their desk and leave it there. that way they cant touch it without being seen. One of my substitute teachers did that and it worked imo.

No should not get away ^^
But if a teacher takes it away i go too my bag and get my PSP HAHA
