It's perfectly fair for a school to confiscate a student's iPhone while they're in class. But once that student leaves the building, schools normally give their devices back to them. And if they don't, then we definitely expect their devices to be returned once the student's parent shows up to claim it. However, this wasn't the case for one parent who recently went to pick up his daughter's confiscated iPhone 6 at her school and was told that he couldn't have it back and was then offered a flip phone as compensation.
