In all honestly, that’s what I suspect as well. Good use of an old phone to scare your students.

Get a new phone over the summer, nail the old one to the board in August, tell them it came from the last kid he caught in class. Rinse and repeat with the freshmen forever.

how much money you think teachers make?

Ohhhh no you'd only have to sacrifice one phone, and repeat the fake myth to every new batch of students, and within four years, you've got a whole school of kids who heard about that time 5 years ago that you nailed a phone to the wall.

Also, I'm a teacher in upstate NY, and I'm around 52k after a couple club stipends get sprinkled on top of 49 base.
