Wow, unreal how entitled most the people in this thread are acting. When I was in high school I got caught playing Pokemon red and had my gameboy confiscated for the ENTIRE school year! Was I mad, hell ya, but I knew I deserved it. You are there to learn not to play fucking games, if that's your prerogative, just stay home, quit wasting everyone's time, and enjoy working minimum wage for the rest of your life. Seriously guys get your priorities straight comin here bitchin about your 'right' to Pokemon go is embarrassing.

the ENTIRE school year

I'm all for teachers confiscating contraband, but that's fucked up. That's the teacher power tripping and extending their authority to your weekend and after-school free time. That's not okay.

Also, playing games doesn't regulate you to a life of minimum wage. You need to turn your baby-boomer "back in mah day!" rage from a 12 down to about a 6.

Really? you think you deserved to be deprived of your gameboy for an ENTIRE YEAR because you played it in class once? I'm sorry that's some self-deprecating bullshit.

Pulling stuff like that is normal behavior in school, and if a teacher actually takes your property for a year then they have a real fucked up idea of what's appropriate discipline from a teacher.

If a kids gonna be punished that hard, it should be from their parent (teachers aren't there to torture kids).

Your Game Boy was personal property, a teacher can't keep it past class: Unless you're saying that because you got caught, your parents confiscated it for the entire year. My middle school put out a note to parents asking them to remind the kids not play Game Boy during class. We were allowed to play during snack/lunch. If you got caught playing during class, you got detention and your parents had to come pick up the Game Boy. It was up to the parents to decide the punishment, not the teachers.

Hell, I wrote the code for my own little adventure game (text based) on my TI-83. Teacher caught me doing it and made me delete it. I mean sure I should have been doing my English work, so it's my fault.

I'm an English teacher. If I saw this happening, I would have asked about your ideas and see if it fit anything we're doing in class for a project. I'd rather support something creative and help you figure out how to use literary concepts to write a good game--while also mentioning that you could manage your time to get your work done and code your game.

That's the difference between a good teacher and a jaded teacher that hates kids.

Amateur. How did you not pick up a "fake system wipe" program for your TI? That was standard issue back in my Intro to Calculus classes.

If you would have archived it before clearing the calculator it would have saved while giving the cleared message. That's how I kept my Phoenix high score even when our calc teacher had us delete everything before tests.

My parents would never let that happen and I would never let that happen to my kids. Holding the item until the parents come to pick it up and can have a chat is the correct action. The parents should be the one determining the child's punishment

I wish i could have stayed home from the babysitting they called school. Most of school is just bs.

I slacked off in school all I wanted and I'm doing fine.

Not everyone needs to waste 8 hours a day to learn basic shit.

Looks like OP should've posted a trigger warning.

I remember getting caught texting in class on a Friday. My teacher thought it would be a great idea to confiscate it for the weekend. After school I broke into her class and stole it back. She was very surprised come Monday morning when she thought she lost my cellphone. I owned up to taking it but not after letting her squirm for a couple minutes thinking about how she was gonna explain that to the principle and my parents.

Of course she was pissed off but if I had told my parents instead of just taking it she would of been in some deep shit from them. I deserved getting my phone confiscated but definitely not for the entire weekend. She understood what could of went down and we came to an understanding that I wouldn't text in her class again. I definitely had no chill in junior high; I'm sure if I had came to her after school and apologized she would of given it back.

Oh. So you didn't tell your parents about it I guess. Common policy in public schools in the US is to hold property till the students parents come to pick it up.

Forces the kid to tell the parents, and the property is being returned to the legal owner (ages under 18 have limited rights). If the school held it for a year...then:

  • You were at a private school, where the rules are entirely different

  • You didn't tell your parents or they opted not to pick up the game boy, which suggests a different issue than your portrayal

  • The school was acting outside the scope of district policy and risked a kerfuffle out of a toy...which is unlikely.

I'm pretty sure staying home is illegal in most states.

/u/intheyear3ooo seemed to suggest that if you want to play games just stay home and play games and accept horrible carrier opportunities.

That doesn't seem to be an option.

Ohio Revised Code

Florida

California

The first 3 states I checked all have compulsory education laws(that's about 20% of the us population from disparate geographic regions, I assume it's representative of the rest of the US).

It's illegal to stay home. Not sure why this is controversial.
