A mother has been left furious after a school teacher confiscated her daughter’s phone for a week and even used it as her own. “My spouse and I have a child that we’ll call Hannah. Last week I picked Hannah up and she said that one of her teachers, we’ll call her Ms. K, took her phone for looking at it during class,” she wrote on Reddit!
“I told her she needed to keep her phone in her pocket during class, then Hannah tells that Ms. K still hasn’t returned it. “Every day after Hannah tells me she asked for it back and Ms. K refuses. On Thursday I sent her an email asking when we can expect the phone back and that I would like her to have it for when she works this weekend. No reply.”The mother went to school after many days have passed and her daughter still didn’t get her phone back.
“A whole week of this passes. Today, Hannah gets in my car and tells me she asked and Ms. K didn’t even answer. She just ignored her,” she continued. “I lost my patience and went into the school. I found Ms. K standing outside her classroom and told her it was time she give me the phone back.” She also said that the teacher told her daughter to stop using her phone in class and the mother agreed. But things immediately escalated after this.
“I made a scene, students and teachers alike were staring, but she relented and said she would get the phone out of her office and came back with it about three minutes later,” she went on. “I feel like an idiot for not checking the phone when she handed it to me. I didn’t give Hannah back her phone from my purse until she was done with her assignments for today and a couple of minutes after she comes back to me in a panic.
“Two things were incorrect. One, the screen was cracked, which it had not previously been. Two, she had to re-enter her Apple ID, which we thought was strange. She then checked her account settings and saw a new apple ID with Ms. K’s full name and avatar.” “We assume she may have amalgamated the data or something,” she added, “since there are contacts on the phone that we don’t recognize.”
“I misplaced it, told Hannah she couldn’t use the phone for the time being since I’m concerned Ms. K has access to anything on her end, and sent her an email requesting an explanation.” There has been no response.” People on Reddit were quick to respond, with one individual writing: “I have taught in various districts. Personal things confiscated, particularly phones, were delivered to the office as soon as feasible. By holding onto the phone, the teacher was most likely violating school/district guidelines.”
“REPORT THIS,” wrote another. For a week, the teacher took the phone. They damaged it and HAD THE AUDACITY TO LOG INTO IT AS IF THEY OWNED IT. And they even refused to give it to you at first.” “After a week, the teacher would have had to charge it as well,” a third added. This was not a coincidence.” What are your thoughts on the matter?
