Quick question on behalf of a friend....her Daughter was sent out of class for talking and whilst she was outside, the teacher went through her bag. Is this allowed ?

Was the mobile switched on? Had it rung while the girl was out?

It all sounds very odd. Was the phone ringing?

My son was in the class and saw what happened. The teacher searched the bag, found her mobile phone and gave her a detention. I think he was having a bad day

Yes a teacher can search a bag - but I would never do it in those circumstances and would be surprised if any teacher was daft enough to do that.
