Well I believe you deserve it. You are supposed to pay attention in class, not play with your phone.

My school has a "no phone" policy too. They don't even have to see the phone to take it away from you. My friend was feeling sick, so she texted her dad to pick her up. When she went to the office, they demanded her phone because her dad told them that she texted him to go pick her up. Only a parent can retrieve your phone once it's been taken away. He was RIGHT there when they took it, and he still had to sign papers to get it back. They expect us to go to the health office to call a parent when we're not feeling well, when the health office is NEVER EVEN OPEN. They give you a WAIT time when you tell them you feel like you're going to vomit. The "no phone" policy is dumb and ineffective, in my opinion. The students whose grades are actually crappy are the ones who KNOW how to hide their phones while still using them. But even with their phones taken away, they still won't do their damn work. Pointless rule. FYL, OP. I don't like the policy, but it's up to your school, no matter how dumb it is. Your teacher, however, SHOULD have to pay for it. You got your phone taken away, that's enough punishment for going against the rules, but making YOU pay for what your teacher did isn't right. That's like a teacher straight demanding money from you for being defiant. They can't do that.

Well actually, it is only illegal to rummage through the student's belongings without a warrant. OP didn't tell us how the teacher took it and what he was doing to get it taken away.

My Friends teacher did that, she dropped his iPhone and the screen cracked, then when he asked her about it she told him that she didn't break it. /:

YDI for 1. having an iPhone. 2. Assumingly, using it in class and 3. getting caught.
