Slashdot Mirror
Student Arrested For Classroom Texting
A 14-year-old Wisconsin girl was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after she refused to stop texting during a high school math class. The girl denied having a phone when confronted by a school safety officer, but a female cop found it after frisking her. The Samsung Cricket was recovered "from the buttocks area" of the teenager, according to the police report. The girl was banned from school property for a week, and is scheduled for an April 20 court appearance for a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. I applaud the adults involved for their discretion and temperance in this heinous case of texting without permission.
I agree. The kid should have been smacked and the phone taken away.
Honestly taking away the ability for teachers to smack spoiled snotty brats have made ridiculous crap like this happen.
They neuter the teachers ability to control and punish the kids. Some cant even defend themselves if the little turd hits them.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.

Minors generally do not have the wisdom to choose the best options available to them, and that's why education is required by law. If you had any common sense that comes from being an adult, you would know this.
Were you there?
No?
Then shut the fuck up.
For all you know, the stupid, little cunt got violent

+50 insightful.
