Today, my history teacher confiscated my iPhone. She dropped it on the way back to her desk, and I now have a shattered iPhone screen to fix. FML

You probably could make her pay for it. Sure you weren't supposed to be using it in class, but that deserved confiscating, not BREAKING. (Also don't they have cases and stuff that you can get so that kind of shit doesn't happen? Otter box or something?)

Shouldn't have used your phone in class and should've got insurance on the phone

iPhone's don't actually give 'normal' insurance...... Yeah, they are a bit nuts on that topic.

AT&T just released a normal insurance for iPhones in January. You had a month to sign up for it if you had had your phone for a while.

Great. An of course they didn't advertise. -_-; I don't go to an AT&T store or watch TV... They could have sent me an email. :(

Why is everyone saying the teacher should pay for it? If OP didn't have it out the teacher wouldn't have taken it and dropped it. YDI

Because that's an additional punishment that the student did not deserve. There's a certain degree of punishment that should be exacted for any rule or law broken. The punishment was: confiscation of the phone not destruction of the phone. It's like executing someone for stealing a loaf of bread. Yes it may be wrong, but the punishment is overboard. And for all u know the student simply forgot to turn it off and didn't mean to break the rule, which is a mistake I've seen teachers make all the time as well.

The destruction was not a punishment though. It was a shit happens. It wasn't done on purpose so it can't be considered part of it. While I feel for op it still stands to reason that they put their phone in the situation to get damaged by using it when they shouldn't have been. Sometimes shit happens and it sucks. People need to stop blaming the world for accidents.

I'm sure the teacher didn't break it on purpose.

it wasn't an accident, it was negligence. school is liable (not the teacher directly)

But if the teacher does not pay for the damage, then it is basically as though they are accepting it as a consequence of the student's mistake, which in turn is basically a punishment, or treating it as a punishment. In this way the teacher is overstepping his/her boundary; it was an accident but it was still a fault just as the OP's mistake mightve been an accident for all we know. Of course I admit that this really does depends on ur PoV then.

Yep, number one is right. Class isn't a time to play with your phone. YDI
