Confiscation of phone - Rthvika Suvarna

On the 1st of October,2:26pm, in room B521, an English class in UWCSEA, Grade 8 was interrogated by the Vice Principal of Middle School, Marianne Yong Macdonald, who confiscated all phones from students for a reason unknown to them. The class teacher, Anne Marie Chow, along with her students were left clueless about the entire situation. A few students, couldn’t stop biting their nails out of nervousness and others could care less. This was chaos.


Ms. Chow went ahead with her lesson, the students on the other hand; not so much. The tension in the room developed as did time, making the students eager and eager by the minute. Fabian, came up with different theories as to why our phones were taken away. 8-6 was a talented english class, each student had their own strengths. Fabian was the most organized. Amrita was the most neat. Maia was the most observant. It was hard to see these kids mess up enough to get their phones taken away, and the question still remained. Why was it so important to interrupt an english class and confiscate the phones? This was pandemonium.
