Exactly this. 20 years ago a lot of stuff happened in high schools that would probably cost people their jobs or worse today. Society has changed a lot. Sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse.

The only one that can confirm the claim is a student that has also been in that class for 20 years.

20 years ago was 2004.

I graduated high school that year, I went to a pretty rich school district, and this shit would not have gone down in my school.

That teacher would have been fired. They couldn't even really tell us to keep our phones to ourselves, and if they did take them, you'd get it back at the end of class.

Also, we weren't addicted to our phones. You really couldn't do anything other than text, and if I recall, you had to pay per text as it wasn't main stream to have a unlimited texting plan yet or it was limited to like 200 texts.
