Being in school, and having to deal with this crap, I say good smash the stupid thing.

Now before anyone says anything, I live and do business via my cell phone. But I have enough common courtesy to turn it off during class and meetings. If its a vital call that I have to take, its on vibrate and I leave the room. I would be embarrassed if my cell phone went off in class, I couldn't imagine picking it up. Personally its one of my pet peeves, drives me nuts in class to hear the stupid ring tones going off.

The student got what was coming to him, and I would have clapped.

Hahahahaha - I bet that kid doesn't use the phone again in class.
Who cares if the teach was right or wrong; he made me feel good.

Not only was he right, he should be applauded. The nauseating little **** on the phone should be publicly flogged till he learns some goddamm manners while he's at it. My GF's a teacher in 8th grade and simply confiscates them the moment they appear. If the idiot wants it back they have to get mommy and daddy to come down to the office and get it back from the principal.

He was wrong in the particular but may have been justified in the general.



What I mean is this: He destroyed private property. At a guess, that is at least a misdemeanor. Being an obnoxious, inconsiderate jerk is not a criminal offense.

However, in the general sense the particular behavior of one person infringes on the rights of others.

one day in my optomist club meeting my phone went off in the pocket of my jacket on the wall hook near by. i pretended not to know whose phone it was since if i had acknowledged it i would have been fined a quarter.

i felt really naughty and got away with it.

folks talking on cells in public really bothers me. they seem often to shout out toward everyone else.

I agree, the teacher had a right to confiscate the cell phone.

He did not have the right to destroy it, however.
