Granted my high school was a boarding school, so kids having cellphones was common, hell, having them on during class was common, if you do something to get it confiscated it's your own damn fault. Your life isn't ******, your phone is. I've had an iPod touch for years now, and I don't understand how people 'drop' them so often and break the screens. Are people that clumsy or careless with expensive electronics? Really?

Regardless of whether or not you should have had your phone out--which you shouldn't--it's her fault for dropping and damaging your property. She should compensate you for it.

Wow that sucks. But you probably shouldn't've had it out in the first place :/

You deserve to have your phone taken for using it in class. Unless you happened to forget to silence it, then that sucks. And some of you guys may think texting only bothers you. When people texted around me at school, it affected me, majorly. I have a couple disorders and I couldn't focus on the teacher and lesson with clicking going on beside me. But, while you deserve to lose your phone for using it. You did not deserve to have it broken. That sucks, so yes, FYL.

That's why when they ask for my phone I said no

I use the apple iDoc at Appleidoc.com. They are the best around.

U can go to the cops n charge her with stealing private property and vandalism to ur phone. Seen it done b4 n the been charged

By law if she confiscates it she is responsible for the safekeeping of it

The teacher should pay for it if you were using it in class ya they may take it my school does that a lot but if my teacher broke my phone I would be pissed to and I would want them to pay for it

I would tell your parents and dean what happen.
