to think it serves D right for getting her mnobile confiscated but also a little hacked off that now she has to spend a week without one.

DD was texting in class so has has her mobile confiscated. Bloody good thing too. May teach her not to do it again.

on the other hand she now has to walk to and from school (2 miles each way) on her own without a mobile, in case of emergencies, for the rest of the week.

Perhaps a light beating and allowing her to keep the mobile would have been a more suitable punishment. At least then I wouldn't have to worry about her being abducted or breaking her legs on the way to school.

I'm sleep deprived and confused.

Well doen for going back to it I am trying to get out! - Sorry for deviating. Maybe I will find my teaching mojo again.

I dont actually think all kids need fones in school although ds1 managed to take his for the full 5 years without getting in trouble.

Ds2 on the other hand has M.E/CFS and has to have his phone in case he is ill(he at first would never tell anyone at school and when he broke his wrist and they 'forgot' to fone us to get us to collect him to go to A&E-we realised how important it was he use it).

His was confiscated by the science teacher who was walking by when said fone fell out of his blazer- incidentally when I went into school to collect it and say about if it went missing who was responsible?- shed had it all day and it was in her own bag not in the school box.

It's a PHONE FFS. It's not difficult.

I did say phone (once)
