If it's role-play between consenting adults, then no problem. However, on school kids, non-consensually, that's a NO.

If they misbehave take away their smart phones, they will REALLY hate that. Not as much fun as paddling I grant you, but more ethical.

@badminton The question dealt with school behavior so your reply is not germane. Teachers do not have the ability to confiscate student property.

Uh, yes they do. It’s held until a parent signs for it, after a discussion with the principal.

@SevIsPamprinYouAlways When I taught there were no cell phones. We did have running water and electricity

@badminton “Not as much fun as paddling.” You hit the nail right on the head for OP, I’m afraid.
