The hand books given out at beginning of the year say NO cell phones. Cracks me up that parents think their kids do no wrong. And YES I Have 4 Kids AND They Do Stupid Stuff ALL The Time AND They WILL Be RESPONSIBLE for that stupid stuff. Even at my job there is a rule you shouldn’t be on your phone. These kids r going to have to be in the real world soon and have a job with rules. Don’t follow them….. Fired! But your kid would never do anything wrong
I get your overall point, Tommy, and a lot of parents have agreed with you, but when a student either gets on a bus or walks onto a campus, he or she is in the custody of the school and the district. I don’t mean “custody” like a prisoner in jail, but rather the school has a custodial role in the absence of a parent and the student is their legal responsibility until they get off the bus or leave campus after school is dismissed. Again, right or wrong, it’s how it is.
“students don’t have the same rights that adults”
Which is why they should have asked permission from the child’s parents first.
And school rules don’t trump The Constitution of the USA.
When my son was in school , his phone fell out of his pocket in in the hallway, the principal,in his misguided power trip took it , and told my son he would get it back on Monday !! 5 days !!! The only reason my son had it at school he was in a accident 1month earlier and in a wheelchair!! Pain med’s !! , he called me at work , so i left ft Lewis with the plan of shoving that phone up that lil fkers ass , the principal!!! When i got there he said he was going to keep it still, so i took it , not a damn thing a paper pusher can do about.!! And i let him know the next fkn time you take anything from my son i will take the tires off your car , and give them back on mon . Lil bitch with no balls,except to push around a child !
Why did somebody call the police because ‘someone wasnt supposed to be in the dobson st area’?How pitiful these tattletales sound, mind your business unless there is something life threatening going on. Lewis County law enforcement employs more spys than the Stasi used to in East Germany. This place is weak as hell.
Lots of law suits out there over actions from so called adults over this phone snatching incident. http: //www .thenewcivilrightsmovement .com /davidbadash/ videos_police_officer_violently_lifts_high_school_student_from_her_desk_and_tosses_her_to_the_floor
I think the kid with the phone issue probably had the right to keep his phone. And the principal had the right to have him leave the school – escorted, if necessary. So why did it escalate the way it did resulting in possible injury to one and incarceration for the other? My guess is that tempers flared on both sides. But the adult is supposed to demonstrate how to manage a temper, not play tug of war with a kid over a phone. Call the parents, kick him out for 45 days that can be modified to 5 days if he spends it in-school detention and studying.
Tanya-maybe a little strong on the language for something so petty? just remember-we can only hope they will grow up to be working adults some day and pay yours and mine social security. Plus I cant help to wonder if you ever did anything wrong in your life? I can attest that I have.
AMEN TANYA!!
Ya and they wonder why kids are such ignorant dumb asses these days. Rules in school are rules. If the school says no use during class then the lil ass should have not been using it. Throw his ass in Juvy for 6 months and teach him a good lesson as well as the rest of the kids still in school with cell phones shoved up their ass all day long, learning nothing but how to use their cell phone and how to take selfies. He will learn what resisting is all about and why you don’t assault a police officer or any other adult.
“If the phone was taken without the express direct consent of the boy’s parents or legal guardian, the taking of the phone constitutes a violation of the boy’s sacred constitutional rights under the constitution set forth and ratified by the United States of America.”
Not quite. I put out an underground newspaper when I was in high school and found out in fairly short order that students don’t have the same rights that adults do (not that it stopped me). The right to vote or drink doesn’t extend to kids, either. Fair or unfair, that’s how it goes.
Too much fluoride in the schools!! 😱
“Too bad to see such a young person get rail roaded through the system.”
Sounds like Mama and Daddy should get the credit there; assuming he has any in his life.
Without a warrant, every citizen has the right to be secure in their property and papers according to the constitution of the United States of America. But that privilege ends the moment you step foot on private property.
The school, the last time I checked, was still a public school which means the teachers are under the same constitutional laws as everybody else who works for the government.
If the phone was taken without the express direct consent of the boy’s parents or legal guardian, the taking of the phone constitutes a violation of the boy’s sacred constitutional rights under the constitution set forth and ratified by the United States of America.
If teachers are allowed to take whatever they want from students without a proper redress of their constitutional rights to be FREE of such totalitarianism, then what use is the law at all? We may as well all just act like animals and do whatever makes us feel good without rules.
We passed notes in class!
We barely did!
Phone. Dude would of gotten it back at the end of the day. As for taking the phone with force could be a crime in it self. But if the student handed it to the principle thats another issue. Too bad to see such a young person get rail roaded through the system.
Phones should not be allowed in the class room. Leave them in your car or your locker. How in the hell did all the past generations make it without cell phones at school?
