Someone In This Online Group Asked “Teachers, What Was The Worst Thing You Had To Confiscate From A Student?”, 30 Folks Delivered
For many kids, school is like a second home as they spend so much time there, get to hang out with friends and explore what their interests are. So sometimes they feel so comfortable at school that they forget that it is actually an academic institution and some things should stay at home.
Sometimes kids bring the weirdest things to school they weren't supposed to and teachers have to confiscate them for safety reasons. Reddit user GlytchedTTV wanted to know from teachers “What was the worst thing you had to confiscate from a student?” and there were some surprising answers.

My mom has had stories about what's she's confiscated from lower elementary aged students (K-3). The usual prank items like woopie cushions, sure. But one time a student was playing with this weird box. The box was locked. So she couldn't put it in the confiscated bin. She put it on top of a cabinet. About an hour later, it starts ringing. Furiously. It took some doing to get the box open.
Turns out, this kid's parent was a professional chef. So the kid had grabbed every timer in the house, set them for the max amount of time, locked the box, brought it to school, and played with it so it would get confiscated and ring loudly. Whole class erupted with laughter and screaming. A true agent of chaos

Preschool teacher here. I had to convince a 4 year old that his mom's wedding ring should go into a special box on the front desk instead of on the finger of a six year old girl he had a crush on.
Later he brought in his dad's car keys, and a bottle opener.

Our daughter took a Yoohoo chocolate drink in a glass bottle. She also took the bottle opener that had a corkscrew on the other end. She was 6. I had to go to the school for a meeting because they had a zero policy about weapons. I couldn't keep a straight face. I kept having visual images of a first grader running amok in the elementary school halls with a bottle opener. I think they thought they were punishing me by suspended her for the rest of the week. We had chocolate milkshakes for lunch and she agreed to not take anything new to school without talking to us about it first. She is 26, I put a yoohoo in shopping cart a few weeks ago. My husband took said "NO corkscrews!" as he handed it to her. It's still funny.

He once got a job in a hotel, but disappeared after the first day of work. A few days later, they found him. He had built himself a fort in the basement out of Sterno boxes and was drinking his way out. Sterno is thickened denatured alcohol in little cans, burned under chafing dishes to keep food warm. How that didn't kill him, I will never understand. RIP Uncle Bill... I miss you.

Not the worst but definitely my favorite. I taught 4th graders and saw a couple of them passing around a sheet of paper to each other instead of doing what they were supposed to be doing. I took the note from them and one of the kids' faces looked as if her life was over and she started crying and begged me not to look at it. I unfolded it to see what they were writing about. The note was filled with drawings of cartoon butts and they told me they wanted to have a contest to see who was the best at drawing butts.

The weirdest one was definitely the fish in a vase they found during locker checks. It was in an unassigned locker someone had added a lock to. Inside was a live Betta fish in about as large a vase as you can fit in a locker. Fully decorated. Someone had clipped a little book light to the top of the vase presumably so fish wasn't in the dark all the time. No one claimed to know whose if was or how long it had been there so it lived in the coaches office for at least that year.

I think often young kids don't really understand that things can actually hurt you. (Like in cartoons the characters will be fine after having an anvil dropped on their head) My little brother and I once were playing in the creek and we started splashing and throwing mud at each other. After I splattered him with a chunk of mud he picked up a piece of broken glass laying around and chucked it at me. The glass hit me in the knee and stuck there for a minute before it fell out - and I started bleeding like crazy. I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't realize it would hurt me that much. I was still mad though, and he was smart enough to run away before I could catch him! :) I still have a scar.

Boy or girl it's very important. As well as age we need more information.

A puppy. It had been in this kid's jacket pocket for about 4 hours. I had to send the kid to the office because I didn't know what to do with a puppy.
Yes, it was alive and very messy.

$900. Mom had a bag of cash laying around and her 2nd grader decided to bring it to school.

Was it for show and tell? Kids want to bring some strange things to show and tell.

How do you expect someone to confiscate money from a child they probably kept the money. To do whatever they were going to do with it I guess

I was the student and my Math teacher confiscated my Gameboy. This was 2002 maybe.
I got it back by mail in 2012. I already had like 2 PlayStations by that time but atleast I got it back.

I had a student bring a live mouse to school to feed to our class pet, a ball python. He had brought the mouse in his front pocket of his pants instead of something reasonable to hold it.

Please don’t feed your snakes live mice! (unless that’s the only thing they will eat. In which case, supervise them) Live mice can chew on their scales and hurt them. Also if the snake misses and hits the glass, it can hurt the snake’s head and give them problems in the future.

I didn't know that, I feed my snake frozen mice anyway, but that is good to know! Thanks!

What school has a ball python as a pet?? In my country, the schools at best have stray dogs that feed them. Pythons??

Razor blades.

I need more information. Was this a self harming student, or a fighting student?

my mom was a school teacher, and she once confiscated a DOZEN of pages with some BTS dudes printed on it because apparently, some 7th grade girl was staring at them instead of paying attention in class

Oh come on, what teenage girl hasn't spent classes swooning over some star instead of paying attention? Confiscating was just cruel.

Well, the boys from BTS are pretty cute. :) LOL! I probably would have had Jon Bon Jovi and the guys from Poison if I was caught looking at band dudes in the 7th grade. Not that I ever got caught....... Yeah, I'm getting old.

BTS is a Korean boy band with rabidly obsessed fans.

I remember in high school a teacher confiscated a student who had 15 condoms
Lingon 3 years ago (edited)
I guess that teacher were making sure to get new students in a few years? Idiot, our school had free condoms in the nurses office and there were no teen pregnancies

The way this is worded makes it seem like the student was confiscated but not the items. Be free!

Confiscated the wholeass student? Didja release him at the end of the semester, or you got bones in your drawer?

Oh, the United States. Where parents are brainwashed into thinking being honest with kids about sex will make them have more sex.

If you ever needed proof that young people's brains are not fully formed and therefore do not function optimally, this is it. Every time they charge a kid as an adult, I just think about how unfair it is to do this to kids, who are effectively brain-damaged by virtue of not being adults yet.

That depends, sometimes kids know exactly what they're doing.

This kid in my elementary school, I'm talking a kindergarten student got in trouble because their mom gave them crack to sell out of his lunchbox. It was a big thing in the news.

My brother's friend was suspended sophomore year of high school because he was deploying aerosol fart spray in people's faces. Senior year the same friend was suspended for pooping in a Krispy Kreme box and leaving it outside their math teacher's door, addressed to her.

Similar to one of these, I once heard a soft sound. Tracked it down to a newborn kitten in one kid's backpack.

My teacher once confiscated -you won’t believe this- a real fox skin. Kid’s dad was a hunter. Poor little guy.

As a first grade teacher, I had to confiscate a lot of stuff. Nothing unusual, but I would label anything I took, plop it in a shopping bag...usually had two full ones by June. I would give everything back the last few days of school.
