Read More »I still remember when phones were becoming popular in the early ’10s and more students were bringing their phones to my high school. I went to a private high school, and the school’s founder heard there were so many cases of students using their phones in class that he ordered all the students into the gymnasium and demanded that everyone surrender their phones. For added measure, teachers were instructed to search every student’s pockets. One student, however, refused to surrender her phone, arguing it was illegal for teachers to take their phones. And for a long time, I’ve always wondered if she was right and if the school was stealing our phones. Recently, we discussed whether or not it’s illegal to keep students after the bell rings. Detention isn’t illegal as long as it’s done within a reasonable amount of time. But when it comes to confiscating students’ phones, possession of property is involved. Given the fact that the average price of a smartphone today is around $363, it’s a big deal that teachers are taking expensive gadgets from our person. So, the question we want to answer is whether or not a teacher can take your phone. Let’s look at the facts.

During final exams, we were required to line up by the door and turn out our pockets before entering the classroom carrying only our writing materials. Our phones had to be kept in our bags, which were left outside the classroom in lines in view of the CCTV cameras so that no one would open our bags or steal our belongings. During exams, having your phone with you can tempt you to use your calculator or the internet to search for answers. Whether or not you planned on cheating in this situation, the rules are clear: no phones during the exam. Your teachers, however, have a responsibility to make sure your phone is safe and doesn’t go missing. They should keep your phone on them or in a locked or guarded cabinet. They also do not have the right to open your phone (or force you to open your phone) to read your messages, browse your social media, look at your private photos, or more. Federal law dictates that they cannot force you to open your phone unless you consent to it. And if you don’t, they can only look at your phone if they have probable cause and a search warrant from a judge. This includes incidents when you’re caught using your phone in the middle of class or if your phone causes a disruption.

Read More »A teacher cannot permanently confiscate your phone. They might confiscate a small toy like a fidget spinner if it’s distracting in class, but a phone costs hundreds of dollars and was most likely purchased by the student’s parents for the student. Some teachers may return phones after class, by the end of the day, or the next day. Even stricter teachers may keep it for much longer, up to an entire semester or term. And other teachers may keep the phone indefinitely and will only return it unless the student apologizes, has a letter from their parents asking for it back, or has a parent personally show up to claim the phone back. Since a parent’s authority on their child’s discipline outranks the school’s, their appearance asking for the phone back may overrule whatever policy the teacher has. Aside from getting their phone confiscated, some students may also receive detention or suspension. This depends on how strict the teacher or the school’s policy is on phone use. It really depends on your school’s disciplinary rules whether or not the incident will appear on your permanent record, which could affect your future if you’re a prospective student for prestigious colleges and universities. After getting your phone back, you’re expected not to make the same mistake of using your phone during class hours. Repeated instances of you using your phone during class may lead to a meeting with higher school faculty, in or off-campus suspension, or an invitation to your parents to speak to the teacher/s involved and the school principal. Phones are a useful tool that let you communicate and learn easily, but in a classroom setting, they can be very distracting. You should only use your phone during class hours when there is an emergency and there is no other option. Otherwise, be a model student and keep your phone on silent and either in your pocket or in your bag. Because yes, your teacher can legally take your phone.
