One day the submitter sees the school disciplinarian (whom the submitter compares to [[Literature/{{Matilda}} Agatha Trunchbull]]) lying in wait at the entrance and then handing out roughly two dozen detention slips for phone usage in ten minutes. The submitter speculates that incidents like this was what led to the cell phone ban being relaxed to only apply during school hours.
