Good deal, but I trust you would not take offense to your child being sent to the office or detention while you are in transit to take possession of their phone so they can be compliant and go back to the class or the school event. I guess you would also have to be tolerant of other parents instructions to not turn over items that can be weaponized to school authorities either, since they would know how to apply them. He does not need to go to jail, but he did need to be forced into compliance with school rules. That is what happened if I understand the account correctily.
Are you really saying a cell phone is a weapon? My kids keep their phones in their backpacks and are told if they break school rules and will be confiscated by me.
My kids have been taught to apply the judgement that we feel is best for them. That includes contacting their parents if they feel uncomfortable in a situation.
I have had issues with school and daycare staff not contacting us in situations that we should have been. I will never allow them to be in a position where they cannot reach out to me or my wife. Those are my rules and as their parent I Trump a teacher, coach or anyone else.
They are taught to respect adults in positions of authority but I am never going to put my full trust in others to look out for their best interest because time and time again there are situations where those teachers, admin, etc do the wrong thing.
