It seems that simply confiscating mobile phones doesn’t cut it these days.

At a middle school in China, seven students who repeatedly brought their phones to school, despite being told countless times not to, were made to destroy them by tossing them into a pail of water.

If you think furious parents stormed the school demanding twist, they didn’t, and actually supported the teacher’s actions.

Chinese netizens echoed the parents’ sentiments with many saying the kids deserved it.
