Briee Muccie, a Texas mother, expressed her frustration after her son's school confiscated his cell phone and charged her $15 for its return. Although she acknowledged her son's fault in using the phone during class, she was taken aback by the fee, questioning the ethics behind this policy. Currently, 25 states have protocols against phone usage in schools, while many parents oppose these bans due to safety concerns. Muccie highlighted an issue regarding the payment system linked to a specific administrator rather than the school, raising further ethical questions about transparency.
"I couldn't believe that was actually happening. My sixth grader got caught with his phone... they proceeded to tell me that I had to pay $15 to get this back."
"What? Imagine how much money they're making off people like me. My biggest concern... was the use of Cash App, which was registered to an administrator, not the school's name."
