Another way students get in trouble on their phone is by posting racist comments or photos.

know, you are disrupting their learning and are now open to punishment, despite not committing the offense at school.

Students also sometimes get in trouble in school for other forms of crime that they commit outside of school. The school has a “door to door” policy for crimes committed during the time you leave your house to go to school and when you return home, this is because the school is liable for your safety over that time. Offenses committed during this time will result in punishment from the school, offenses committed outside of this time frame that do not distract students from learning during the school day will be handled by local authorities. So if a student decided to stop at a friends house and get high or drunk on the way to school they would still get in trouble with the school due to the door to door policy.
