<p>It also depends, if you have a strong A in that class, the teacher wouldn't care compared to someone who is failing.</p>
<p>about twice while playing pacman.</p>
<p>The only time I've been caught with my phone was in 6th grade but my teacher didn't take it away.</p>
<p>most teachers will just tell you to put it away, at first.. or if they're not so nice, they'll take it away because that technically is school policy. then, your parents have to pick it up.</p>
<p>:) Get a farting ringtone. They can't take your phone away if you are farting.</p>

I hate when teachers text on your phone. Ticks me off.

<p>I turned mine off the two times in was confinscated. It's under password. (I live with a kleptomaniac who is also a compulsive liar, so I kind of have to put things under password, just in case.) </p>
<p>Like I said, I have had mine confinscated twice. School rules dictate that the first time for the teacher it goes to the office and parents much pick it up. Mine has only gone to the office one of the two times. The other time it was in my Latin class which is all the way across campus and the teacher didn't want to bring it in. </p>
<p>(Plus when I get it confinscated I always see if I can text my mom and let her know what happened since my mom loves to text me.)</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>And for all the times I've ever received a text message, it's those from my parents that get me in trouble.</p>
<p>It's like a text from them renders the vibrations more audible.</p>
<p>^ Same here...</p>
<p>I was texting my mom one of the two times. I think I was texting someone who lives around the corner from me another time.</p>
<p>I never got caught, but I don't text too much during class. Only during math because he is always turned to the whiteboard.</p>
<p>Teachers at my school know students are texting (okay, girls leaving purse on desk and doing "something" behind it is kind of obvious, as is guys "looking at the floor" on the side of their desks), but mostly don't do anything about it. But usually if a phone rings, teachers take it away for the period or, rarely, the day. My phone has gone off a few times when my parents have called me during school, but I've only gotten it taken away twice, not including the time this year that it went off during an AP Lit test...</p>
<p>I used to get it taken a lot, but it's only happened once this year.
There's a rule called "Tag it and Bag it" that teachers have to follow when they take away phones. They basically put them in a massive ziplock bag with like 20 other phones until a parent comes to pick it up.</p>
<p>So this one time I was at church and this guy's phone rang and the preacher person answered this guy's phone and the preacher person was really mean and he called the person calling a heathen for calling this guy instead of being at church himself and all the people there laughed really loudly. That's one reason most churches bother me.</p>
