Dad smashes daughters phone after $4,700 phone bill arrives.
What gets me is this girl sent over 300 text messages a day during school hours. 37 an hour for two months. And not a single one of her teachers noticed.
Her grades went from A's/B's to F's during the same amount of time yet the parents apparently weren't called, no conferences scheduled to find out why, etc.
Was her school really that oblivious?

Simple solution.
$4,700 bill for her phone?
She pays bill.
Problem solved.
Lemme guess, she was home schooled? No? OK, uh, er, yeah! She was in a private school! No?? OK, this is it! She was in a parochial school!! That's the ticket! Un-uh? No? Aw, no way! It couldn't have been a government school! They're the pros!
Action long overdue.
The teachers are quick to point out that they have your children for 8 hours a day when they ask for more money, but they run from any responsibility when it comes to things like this.
I'd like to know who the other kids are that she was texting, and what their grades and phone bills are. At the reported rate, that's a text message every 97 seconds. Someone's got to be on the other end.
If I screwed off in class, you could be assured that my folks would get a phone call about it, and I would be in deep s**t. I did catch a break, though, because I played golf with one of my Principals, so he was a little easier on me than most.
Was the bill just for sent texts or both sent and recieved? Often you are billed for both.
Also, you can send one text to multiple recipients, a 'chat' line so to speak, and get charged for each recipient. Plus, you get charged for each 'lol' or whatever that comes back.
Come now!! Public schools for teaching? Apparently her teachers whom are underpaid, overworked, stressed out worrying about their retirement, were just to distracted to see what was going on!! Public schools are a joke!
Hey cut the teachers a break.
They made sure her texting didn't release any green house gases, wasn't expressing an opinion supporting religion or guns, didn't insult any of the protected classes of people.
What more do you want from them...making her actually learn something?
Hey I teach! at a school that allows the students to have cell phones, just not use them until after hours. Wanna bet what I encounter when I go to the bathroom. Or why is johnnie looking so hard at his hands in his lap. Many times I know they are texting, I just can't catch them with the phone in hand, and honestly there is only so much effort I'm willing to put into it. Janice, quit looking in your purse I know exactly what you are doing.
