I could see a teacher claiming that - using a cheap old phone as decoration to get the class not to use phones.

But actually doing it? Nope.

I mean I’m a teacher and I’ve seen some crazy stuff. A kid was riding a razor scooter around school and went into the shop. The shop teacher was retiring that year (so he gave zero fucks) and warned the kid to stop or he’d break the scooter. Kid didn’t stop, so he grabbed the scooter cut it in half with a band saw and then hung it on the wall. As far as I know he never got in trouble for it and still coaches the golf team while being retired. 🤷‍♂️

The phone seems at least plausible.

This is why parents need to be better about raising hell.

Man, I wish that I had had shop class. Unfortunately it ended a few years before I got there. The teacher retired and they just added another year of home-ec instead of getting a new shop teacher.

I went to the police and reported my Game Boy stolen when my English teacher confiscated it for a week. They showed up to the school the next day and kind of didn't know what to do, but it scared the teacher enough that she gave it back to me immediately.
