Teacher took my phone and won't give it back unless I give her $15.00?
Okay, today was a basketball game so all the students got out of class to watch it. Me and my friend didn't want to so me and her hid in the bathroom. I told her that me and another friend were having a fight and that she wouldn't stop texting and spreading rumors about me and a boy in my class. So my friend asked for the number of the other person and right as I was giving it to her, the teacher walked in and took my phone! I asked when I could have it back and she said if I have $15.00 I could get it back. I thought this is very unfair because me and my mom are very poor and my mom is single and has to take care of 2 children by herself. Besides, she didn't have the money because we are saving all we can for christmas because my mom has a disability and cannot get a job. I tried to devise a plan but lying would only make it worse so I asked if I could just do a couple of detentions to pay for it and she said ''no, if you don't have the money to pay for it, keep it out of sight'' is this illegal? Is it fair? What do I do now?
