We've only got your take on it, but I think when he said he'd love to confiscate an iPhone he was subtly hinting at you to put it away. He is, after all, head of department. I know at my school I don't, generally, let kids have phones out. In a class, if I did, I would still support my HoD if he chose to take a phone off a pupil - it's purely consistency in following the rules.
Take it on the chin, and perhaps show the chap a bit of respect. He might even show some back.![]()
take it higher, or if you must get mum or dad to complain to headteacher / govenors
No point, won't go anywhere. Probably shouldn't have had the phone out initially and his word against HoD.
I've said all I think on the subject; I doubt you'll get anywhere but to cause yourself more trouble and you may even get Mr X to change his opinions on being a nice guy and just blanket ban all use of phones/MP3 players etc. As I said, take it on the chin.
You both acted like 12 year olds. Now both of you grow up.
that was my first thought, how would you guys feel if your pda was confiscated and he went through every single one of your files ?
Really dont understand how saying what he is doing is being a gobby little bugger, he was acting jobsworth i said he was being jobsworth.
Person is acting stupid, i say he is acting stupid, if he cant take it and has to hide behind his rule book, then what on earth does he do in real life ...

Looking for empathy now? You disrespected him in front of the whole class. What goes around comes around. **** happens and like other people have said, you won't get far with taking it higher and if you weren't so cocky, you wouldn't be posting this.
Your a pupil hes a teacher if you walked up to your boss in the real world said that to him and expected nothing to happen then you need to look at your attitude
