Today, I tried to charge my phone at school by removing the socket for the fan. All the computers in the room turned off. I accidentally removed the power cables for the computers and got suspended. FML

Just unplug random devices without checking what they're plugged into so you can steal electricity from the government. How could that go wrong?

Just find an open outlet, there everywhere at school. Don't be so glued to technology you have to unplug something possibly important so you can text.

Not stealing from the government, it's stealing from the power supplier

Technically he's stealing it from himself in a way, or he would be if he paid taxed

Really, you shouldn't have your phone at school nor should you be trying to charge it during school time. Unplugging cables without knowing what they are for is always going to be a disaster.

When I was in high school, which was a few years ago, we were allowed to have our phones and use them at certain times, and most teachers let us charge them. They might have similar rules. And if not, it's really not deserving of a suspension anyway.

Actually, I am currently in high school and I bring my phone to school because I usually need to walk home, therefore I need plenty of charge for safety reasons. I can't keep my phone in my locker because phones are commonly stolen from lockers. Also I have to drive with a friend to take additional courses at another school. As you can probably assume, driving with teenagers isn't exactly the safest and my parents can't give me a ride, which is why I again need my phone for safety reasons. So, yes, it can be very reasonable for a teenager to bring their phone to school.

I don't know where you live but where I live everyone has their phones with them at all times, to the point where lots of people and 2-in-1 phone case wallets.

I think the suspension is probably for losing everyone god knows how much work rather than for having a phone in school.

phones do much more than texting... maybe texting wasn't the goal? he was in a *school* you know.

Judging by the fact that OP removed the power cables for computers, I'm assuming they were in a computer lab or something like that. Computers can do everything that phones can do and more, except text and call. If it was school related the OP could have used a computer. So whatever OP was doing wasn't so important that they had to unplug all the computers. Probably texting.

90% of charging cables nowadays have the option to charge via USB anyway, couldn't OP just plug it into the computer?

More importantly, they should be studying or listening and taking notes...phone should be for emergency situations or free time.

I never understood how all my classmates always needed to charge their phones during school. Do you just not charge it overnight or are you actually on it all day during school?

If we were even caught with our phones visible, it was confiscated for a week. Had to be switched off between 9am and 4pm.

I, too, spend my afternoons in a computer lab unplugging entire collections of cables so I can send my friend that hilarious meme. Have a little common sense, man. If the cable is thick and difficult to remove, it probably doesn't belong to a table fan. I think, for your own safety (and stupidity), suspension was the best route.

Why would you ever think that's a good idea to begin with? Even if you thought it was fan that's still a pretty dumb move no offense.
