|
FEBRUARY 17--A 14-year-old Wisconsin girl who refused to stop texting during a high school math class was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, according to police. The teenager was busted last Wednesday at Wauwatosa East High School after she ignored a teacher's demand that she cease texting. The girl, whose name we have redacted from the below Wauwatosa Police Department report, initially denied having a phone when confronted by a school security officer. However, the phone was located after the girl was frisked by a female cop. The Samsung Cricket, the police report noted, was recovered "from the buttocks area" of the teenager. The student was issued a criminal citation for disorderly conduct, which carried "a bail of $298," and had her phone confiscated. The girl, who was barred from school property for a week, is scheduled for an April 20 court appearance on the misdemeanor rap. (4 pages) Replies:

It's a good thing that corporal punishment has been banned!!!
Can you imagine the possible complications if the young lass had been given a few good "swats" WHILE the cell phone was still concealed???
 I'd bet that her cell phone insurance would NOT have covered THAT sort of damage!!!

| Hey John no cell phones in school and we avoid these discipline problems instead of having to resort to extremes. I like the way some people like to blame the authorities or teacher rather than the student that is basically saying "kiss my....". John Just what would you do with a student that ignored you as a teacher and kept right on texting in the Middle of class? |

 What a hilarious post! Yeah, I'm sure she would have given up the phone before the swats!

If she didn't, I'm sure that the swats would have sent a message to little Miss Texter!!! ------------- “Mulligan said he ... doesn’t believe they necessarily make the return on investment necessary to keep funding them.” …The Middletown Journal, January 30, 2012 |
