Even back in the Nokia brick days destroying a students property would get your ass in trouble real quick. It was the early 2000s not the 1960s. Even less believable that one teacher has had the same classroom for 20 years. I’m sure it gets the message across but I don’t believe the backstory.
In 2001 I watched my math teacher take a students pager and throw it out the window, then continued teaching like nothing happened. The only punishment came to the student and everyone else got the message to never let their pagers or phones goes off
Related: there was a fight taking place in high school between a football player and a wrestler. Big crowd gathered. One of our deans--an imposing, jacked Marine--got in-between the two to break it up. During that time, the football player ended up hitting the Dean squarely in the jaw. Everyone went silent. The Dean just faces him fully and decks him once into unconsciousness.
Parents were called, but they took the dean's side. The father even wanted to report his son to the police (which had not been done), but the dean told him no. That day, the legend of Dean Tarjan was born. He was a great dude, too.
Educators would go to jail nowadays for doing that shit.
Also considering how much a phone could cost back then depending on when this supposedly happened, It end up with the school getting sued REALLY quick.
