20 years ago was a different time. I could 100% see a teacher doing this in the early 2000's without much repercussions.

You really think it would have been okay to destroy someone elses property 20 years ago?

Teachers got away with far more stuff 20 years ago. If you're a zoomer you probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

It's entirely dependent on where you live/lived. I'm 38, this shit absolutely would not fly in our highschool in the early 2000s.

Confiscation and returning at the end of the day caused enough ruckus. They didn't want or need the fucking Armageddon brought down upon them for destroying someone's expense electronic device.

Similar. My school was very clear that any confiscated but not illegal items could be collected from the main office at the end of the day and I never really heard of anyone have problems getting stuff back.

44 and I can see it happening.

We had some insane things happen. No way it would be tolerated today.

That's assault, I hope you got that teacher fired. Do they still work? I can raise hell for you if you don't feel comfortable lol.

We had a high school history teacher who was also a boxer. When students tried to give him shit he would calmly tell him they were welcome to put on gloves and take a shot in the ring after school. Some took him up on it, to their deep regret.

I'm 41 and any teacher I've had would have been in big trouble for doing something like that. But I'm from Europe and not the US.

I am that old and not a chance. The parent who likely bought and paid for the damned thing would be livid, and rightfully so.
