Many schools frown upon students bringing phones to school. And this one means business.
A middle school in Guiyang, a city in southwest China, is going viral for actually destroying phones that it confiscates.

The video shows a discipline teacher in the school smashing three phones with a hammer and bending them in half as students look on in horror.
Via GiphyOne guy, who is seen covering his eyes, looks like he literally can't stand to watch it happen.
Via Giphy"If students attempt to privately bring their phone into school and don't report them, and if they don't have a permit to carry a phone, we'll soak them in water and smash them," a school official told Pear Video.
"It's a school rule. You're not allowed to bring your phone to school," she added.
Students who bring their phones to school must hand them over to a teacher, the official said.
"We've repeated this a lot of times, and there is nothing more we can do for [students] who try to hide their phones, except to destroy the phones right in front of them."
Parents were "agreeable" to the school's policy, she said.
People on Chinese social media outlet Weibo, though, not so much:

So the next time you get your phone confiscated -- remember, it could be so much worse.
