Student Arrested For Classroom Texting

[FujinAkari]

why couldn't they just tell the student to leave the school

They did. She refused.

The fact that the security officer was called to remove her is evidence that she wouldn't leave the classroom on her own.

well then they really didn't have a choice in my opinion

they should have taken her out back and beaten her with a stick, stomped her cell phone, and suspended her for 3 days... starting on friday.

She should be charged with lying to the police, not a misdemanor.

Its these douches that make us look so damn bad! I didn't do anything and then after things like this I get labeled and so do the others. Stupid idiots, we need a natural selection mandatory course that takes out the douche bags ^_^ Thanks to technology we have no natural selection any more

WTF!? Now I would understand if it was Japan or something but that is just outragoues! If the students at my school did that then about a quarter of them would be in jail.LOL.

I think this could have all been settled with a nice right hook to that skank bitches nose
I kid, I kid, but seriously, pay some respect to your damn teachers.

 

[Sheppard]

These fucking authoritarian shitters! Sure, the girl was being an idiot, but still! this is damn injustice. Since when has texting been a disorderly conduct? That means swearing at people, or being drunk in public. This is screwed.

 

[Deleric]

I can just imagine the cops reaction.

"YOU MAKE ME SICK"

or

"YOUR THE KIND OF SCUM THAT KILLED MY FATHER."

 

[InifniteWit]

Well she wasn't arrested for texting she was arrested for disorderly conduct. This means that after the cops went in to get the girl's phone she probably threw a tantrum and cursed out one or more of the officers, making it disorderly conduct.

Ok...

I work at a High School as a teacher in progress..... (screw the official name)

look, if the parents did NOT teach the kids respect by then... the kid IS going to be a little fucktard to me getting the cops was the best choice, it is NOT over the top, when you have to deal with 120 little fucktard bastards running around calling each other idiotic and moronic things.... you kinda NEED to put the foot down and I hope that the teacher tried something else before getting the cops, i.e.... calling the parents? If that did not work then at that point I would get the law enforcement... i get paid to teach not to deal with little class room squabbles that take up time from teaching these 3rd grade reading level high schoolers.

(and this is high school..... middle is a LOT worse....)

What a wonderful opinion of your students you have...

Calling them "little fucktard bastards" is no different from them "running around calling each other idiotic and moronic things".

Ah, irony...it's so delicious.

Teaching is not just about passing on your academic knowledge. It's funny though, all of my good teachers, never bothered to just instruct us, the students with their vast knowledge, they always added the toppings at the top: life lessons that surely the student won't forget soon.

I'm glad I don't have a cellphone.
I sound like an old woman saying this, but I can live without cell phones, texting included. I punch whatever's near me if I hear our home phone ring, for Christ's sakes.

 

[Arsen]

I am disheartened, they didn't bring out the Luger for this one.

Unfortunatly, sometime even taking a distracting object from a student can get the parents pissed at you.
I remember one of my teachers telling me a story about some parents trying to sue a school for confiscating their kids yo-yo. Apparentaly he kept whiping it out and playing with it in the middle of class, so the teacher took it way.

Not surprised in the least. Parents aren't nearly as willing to discipline their child. Some parents think they are doing just fine with their spoiled brat kids. I'll tell you what, if the parents do things for their kids to make them happy, they will fail. If parents instead do things for their kids to make them succeed, they will progress.

The trick is to not get caught.

She got busted for not giving up the phone, not texting. I found the article title to be misleading. Not for nothing if that were my kid I'd have whupped her ass when she got home.

Irresponsible teens come from irresponsible parents. Man, I wonder what her PARENTS think of this...

FEBRUARY 17--A 14-year-old Wisconsin girl who refused to stop texting during a high school math class was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, according to police. The teenager was busted last Wednesday at Wauwatosa East High School after she ignored a teacher's demand that she cease texting. The girl, whose name we have redacted from the below Wauwatosa Police Department report, initially denied having a phone when confronted by a school security officer. However, the phone was located after the girl was frisked by a female cop. The Samsung Cricket, the police report noted, was recovered "from the buttocks area" of the teenager. The student was issued a criminal citation for disorderly conduct, which carried "a bail of $298," and had her phone confiscated. The girl, who was barred from school property for a week, is scheduled for an April 20 court appearance on the misdemeanor rap. (4 pages)

0_o!!! Holy shit! WTF is going on here? This shit is serious and no joke. I think I would sue or some shit if I was the parents. This to me is pretty outrageous. I can understand her being busted at school, but a misdemeanor? I would at the very least get a very good lawyer and ream them in court.

This should of never happened. I found out at my school if you put your phone away in your pocket the school has to get a warrant to search you. Charges will be filed against the school, and the school will be forced to pay the child a large amount of money.
