this is why i say that there needs to be a policy that isn't up to a teacher's discretion, but stop acting like he took her phone home with him. taking something away from a child that you're basically babysitting for an hour (and yes they are basically babysitters which is why parents were bytching about reopening schools in the pandemic so they could get their free childcare back) isn't stealing property.The phone is her property. He has no right to steal it from her.
If she's causing a distraction he can send her to the office

his hand
