An Instagram user stated, “Maybe the boarding school has reprimanded it many times. Maybe in this way the students will give up bringing cellphones.”
Another user added “Educators by name, and yet they choose to set such a poor example. If something doesn’t belong to us, we have no right to destroy it. They could have confiscated it and then returned the phones to the students a week later.”
