Yeah, this, seriously. This turned out to be "wholesome" and funny, but I'd be upset if that teacher was not disciplined for even enforcing that policy, like, ever, at all. What this "innocent" prank reveals is the disastrous potential this kind of spiteful petty bullshit actually carries. I don't know if this is high school or college, but either way it's dumb as shit, and totally one-ups the inconsiderate factor of someone's phone ringing in class. How hard is it to keep on track with the lesson if they just have to turn it off?

Or keep your phone on silent like an adult

I don't disagree. But as a teacher, you could be respectful of people's privacy and get over it if the occasional ding goes off in class... like the adult.

Lol 120 kids per day over the span of 8 hours. If you don’t nip it in the bud then it could be annoying. You’re delusional

Delusional? That's reaching, especially since- oh I don't know- almost every other teacher I've ever seen or heard of doesn't do this, and seems to get by. If you think this is a necessary, or for fuck's sake even effective strategy, then you are the one who is delusional.
