New law allows confiscation of students’ phones
Via @lkolb
A new law in Denmark will allow teachers to confiscate a student's cell phone for an indefinite period of time. Below is a quote from the article:
"Many teachers can now get relief from students who continually send SMS’s during class as a new law gives them the right to confiscate mobile phones for an indefinite period, reports JydskeVestkysten newspaper."
I have no problem confiscating a students cell phone for the remainder of the day or until a parent can come and pick it up ( for repeat offenders). It seems drastic to keep it for an indefinite period of time.
