Can they *make* you surrender your phone? Because they tried to make me give it up a few times in highschool (we're talking a good number of years back, but still...) and I always raised a bit of hell about it and was successful in most cases.

If you absolutely can't avoid giving them your phone, always do so with battery and SIM card pulled out and remaining in your posession. You can't trust people to maintain your privacy, you have to take steps to protect it yourself.

You're not one to say. It wasn't your phone. My post is based upon the notion that if true, and it seems that way, do NOT let it slide. If it's false, then it's false. If it's true, then teachers are assholes. Now, let's have you put a hold on the second-guessing. It does nothing.
It's called conjecture and it's the most logical solution. The OP is unable to explain how the staff bypass the security on their phones or how he knows they went through all the information. He just knows that the phones were gone through but doesn't know how they bypass the password protection. Instead of getting caught up in the privacy argument I can look at the argument and see where the argument fails. It may have been years ago but I still remember how high school is, kids make shit up to stir up trouble.
And I remember high school where the faculty were shit, full of themselves, and lousy at teaching besides. You're offering a dismissal to the issue on the grounds that high schoolers make stuff up just to start trouble. Here is what I say to it: LET THEM. True or false (though I would say true, myself), the educational system needs a kick in the ass. Where am I pulling this notion from? My own life experiences, discussion with my peers, and a teacher-father who - despite his other flaws - wasn't shit like his co-workers. If this is nothing but a witch-hunt, FINE. Burn the witches. The fire it lights will set an example to keep the rest of 'em in line. Myself, a fair few peers, and probably my dad would love to see the heads spin, just for laughs. Now, if you're quite done, I have some evil laughter to get through.

Easy way to avoid confiscation is carry your phone in your underpants. When they ask for it you just tell them to get it them selves. When they reach down your pants get your hard on then they will have no choice to either engage in sex with you or to back of rather awkwardly and never speak to you again.... or file a sexual harassment claim, but you should have evidence to file one back too, after all they chose to touch your penis!

OT: give them the phone but take out the battery? problem solved they can't do shit with it!

Yeah, this kind of shit is common in my school. We have an internet censoring program on the network which also applies to mobile devices, which, in my opinion, is fair enough. But when they save and check your internet history when you attempt to access a blocked page (examples of which include Facebook, YouTube and, well, all social networks; again, fair enough in my eyes) and can use what they find to sanction you, whether you accessed it on the school network or not, shit gets Orwellian. I got a detention last week because I had my own fucking Tumblr page in my history.
