At this stupid school you have to pay for your phone back if it gets confiscated in a lesson. I was only texting my mum about travel arrangements while the teacher had gone off topic and was talking about running with his dog.

It's a private school as well, we pay enough as it is.
I understand confiscation because it is against the rules to have your phone out but to have to pay for it back is ****ing out of order.

How much?

[Jessica.]

It was the same in my school, it was like 10 euro to get your phone back.

It did make me more careful.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Wtf that's just dumb.
In a school in my area you have to pay £1 if you're spotted chewing gum
The system is *****ed

[Jordan.]

Just kick off and take it back.

[Niall]

How much does it cost to get it back Charlie?

Thats ****ing ridiculous that you have to pay too.

[CharlieO]

£5
I know it's not like a huge amount but that is like a whole meal I could buy myself for the weekend

I was tempted to say no when he demanded me to hand it in, but I was on the spot so just did. If they try do it again I will say no. I live in a country half way round the world and it was the only time I can talk to my mum because of time difference so they can **** off if they think it will stop me texting in lessons.

[Jords]

Seriously????????????? Surely thats not allowed?

[CharlieO]

Yes. I couldn't believe it when they asked me for money to get it back.

If the stupid head master had not locked it up in his drawer I would have just snatched it and told them to jog on as it is my personal property.
I am going to get my Mum to complain though, it is beyond stupid.

[Roy Mars III]

that is really stupid. I understand maybe taking it till the end of the day but having to play to get it back is just stupid

[Patrick]

Kick off, it's the only way - let them know you're not a ******ing whimp that they can push about.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

is that even legal

you should steal something from the school and tell them they can only have it back when you have your phone back -would do that anyway-

[Sam:)]

In my school they just keep them til the end of the lesson/day.......
I heard when we used to have ties they'd fine you 2euro if you didnt wear it.

[Jamie.]

That's bloody ridiculous!

In my school, if we damage our laptops, (e.g. screen damage) we have to pay like, £100 to get the screen replaced!
We also have something called a Learning Passport, if thats damaged or lost, its a £10!

Schools are screwed up these days

[Shaun]

How is that even legal? I used to just take my stuff (that was confiscated) out of their drawers too.
