Maaaan, not in my class. Then I threw it ON THE GROUND.

I wonder what she would have done if he would have immediately pulled out his backup cell phone and kept talking.

If you have the audacity to talk on your phone, in the front row, while the teacher is talking, you absolutely deserve to have your phone broken.

At least leave the class and have the conversation in the hallway or something.

I had teachers, in high school, who would give a student an old phone to pretend to use in class, after a little time passed the teacher would grab the phone and slam it on the ground then continue teaching.

Not cool, now he has to go to Foxcom and make himself another.

And he never got to tell his dying mother who was just in an accident, "I love you"

Funny (long) Story, even though no-one is going to read this far down... TL:DR at the bottom.

My brother is a grade school teacher (K-6) and kids in his class routinely text right in front of him, even though the school's policy does not allow texting or calls in class or during class time.

One day, one of his problem students' phone started ringing during class. The student pulled the phone out of the bag, answered, said "hold on" to the caller and then told my brother she had to use the restroom. School policy dictates that teachers are not allowed to stop kids from leaving the classroom to use the restroom so he let her go.

15 minutes pass, and she comes back into the room with cellphone in hand. He asks her to hand over the phone and she'll get it back at the end of the day. She complies.

Flash forward to 2 days later.

My brother is called into the principal's office to talk about "the phone incident" because the asshat mother of the child straight-up ripped the principal a new one inciting "emergency phone" and "I need to be able to call my daughter at any time" and lastly "you may be hearing from my lawyer and your superintendent"

After my brother explained his side of the story to his principal, here's what the principal said:

"socalnonsage's brother, I know that we have a policy stating that no calls or texting is allowed during instruction and I'm not saying that you did anything wrong but we need to be careful how we handle these situations. Please call the student's mother and apologize for taking her phone away from her and in the future, please do not take student's phones away from them. "

And this folks, is why my brother is going back to school to become a real estate broker...

TL;DR: School faculty and administrators in the US are powerless to the whims and rants of students/parents...

My rule in class is simple: All ringing cell phones MUST be answered. However, not by the owner. Student's phones are answered by myself. If my phone rings then a student gets to answer it. I believe the respect should be mutual.

Luckily it wasn't a nokia and the building remained intact.

Something I just realized: This was probably filmed on a phone. Imagine the fear that the cameraman must have felt.

martinx3x · 13 days

What a jerk.

Karrl1z4j2 · 13 days

He is a douche,

But she is insane.

KrimsonTide · 13 days

How stupid do you have to be to talk on your cellphone four feet in front of your teacher. That's facing you.

jbredditor · 13 days

I'm 86% sure this is the beginning of a bad porno.

zipzap21 · 13 days

She looks like she wants to throw down. And I don't mean the phone.

MonkeysWearingShoes · 13 days

Staging viral videos during class, as it's also known.

dtrappp · 13 days

But videotaping in class is okay...

Thepeoplesman · 13 days

I would hurt people for less then this

mrchicano209 · 13 days

Lol my English teacher did this once. He gave a student a fake iphone and he pretended he was texting when the teacher is talking and then the teacher got the fake phone, through it on the ground and stomped on it. Everyone freaked out.

kortheuerm · 13 days

Teachers need to do stuff like this more often to kids who are douche bags.

WazaWazaWaza · 13 days

This ain't my dad, this is a cell phone! I THREW IT ON THE GROUND!

eRodriguez · 13 days

Am I the only one who thinks the teacher is kinda sexy?

dcoidua · 13 days

It's weird that this video comes up, it was part of the presentation my professor gave us at Middle Tennessee State University during a UNIV 1010 class. Wonder if hes a redditer?

br00tman · 13 days

I love that "SAY SOMETHING MOTHER FUCKER" look right after she smashes it. I'd buy her flowers.

keloidprocess · 13 days

This video would have been even better if you saw the teacher walking towards the camera, the student trying to hide it, the a hand closing over the camera and then static.

Can anyone tell me what this means?

College teacher here, and something like this happened to me. Student answered phone during a discussion, yelled at her mom for calling her during class (MOM! I'M IN CLASS!), then hung up. Honestly, it was so unexpected and shocking (20-person class, all with their mouths open) that I just died laughing.

I had a professor in college that was a bit out there, and was pretty rude to his students, but he was also really funny. One time one of the guys in my class forgot to turn his ringer off and his phone began ringing loudly. The professor walked up to the student, demanded the phone, and then answered it in front of the whole class. The conversation went something along the lines of, "This is ____'s phone. He's in class right now, this is the professor. He should have turned his ringer off. Goodbye!"

It was pretty bad ass.

derfff · 13 days

I want to do this to people at my work all the time. They talk on the phone while ordering their food, and it's pretty annoying. If you're not ready to order, step aside and let me help customers who aren't being obnoxious. Take your phone calls outside people.

webren · 13 days

I love how she stares him down after throwing the phone as if she's thinking, "What, bitch!?"

SveNss0N · 13 days

A Nokia would have survived the impact

BeerGogglesFTW · 13 days

My assumption is that this was recorded because somebody recording the class to take better notes with... a lot of people use Audio Recorders duing class, but this could be something like Art History or something where there is a lot of visuals that need to be captured.

Also... I believe that student should be failed for the entire semester, permanently kicked out the class, and/or made to wear the Cone of Wait What... but I don't think a teacher should be able to smash what is potentially a $600 phone, of what's probably that kids parents money. Idk.

GigaReed · 13 days

This should be the norm.

I had a calculus professor that told a kid to stop texting on his phone, then a few minutes later he was on it again. The professor stopped his lesson walked to the kid and told him to hand it over. The kid complied after a little hesitation. The professor went back to the front of the room, said something about having your phone in class, spiked the phone on the ground, then took a hammer out of his bag and smashed it. It may have been one of the scariest, most awkward moments ever.

latinagringa2121 · 13 days

As a teacher, I request permission to do this

Evil_AppleJuice · 13 days

Even as a student, talking on the phone in class is pretty fuckin rude.

fartpoopandpee · 13 days

She'd be paying for a new phone if she did that to me. Shouldn't be out, but that doesn't give her the right to destroy personal property.

diggernaught · 13 days

irony - recorded with a phone cam

mistaknowitall · 13 days

the real hero was the guy who was filming this... presumably with his phone.

Terance99 · 13 days

Talking about reposting during class Someone should do this to you
