Will/Should The Teacher Pay? Will Law Help This At All?

Okay so i was really tired and was really sick the night before last night, so when i was packing my backpack i accidentally put my ipod touch in my back pack with my ibook, no case no nothing. The next day in my first class, when i was getting my ibook out for a powerpoint i saw it, and i didn't want it to get scratched, so i picked it up and tried to turn it off and put it in a safer place, but the teacher saw me with it, and took it away. She said she was going to the administrator to give them the device, and i understood, because that is what tachers are suppose to do in middle school, right? So the next day i asked my administrator for it. He said he didn't receive it yet, and when he does he will give it to me because he understood my problem. Now it has been 2 days, and he still hasn't received it. I am thinking that the teacher who took it either lost/stole/forgot it. What should i do? I already told my parents and they believe me, they even called the school, and the school still DOESN'T KNOW WHERE IT IS! What if she really did lose it? It wasn't my fault, and everything i am saying is true, i promise!
Give me advice or something to cool me down because me and that ipod touch are like sisters, i know it sounds crazy but it has all my stuff on it, and i don't always use it for just fun and games!
I just want it back.
I am a sixth grader and clueless how to sort this out.
Oh and i am dead broke so i have noooo idea how to get another one if this teacher has it and is saying she doesn't!
My Basic question is: will/can/should she pay for it? Will the law help this at all?
Thank you, every question means a lot!!!

I would ask the teacher, but she is the type that no one knows where she goes after first class, and tomorrow i have her but sadly she will be at another school. Do you think she is avoiding me? Because if that's the case it makes matters worse!

You should approach your teacher in a nice way after class and ask if you can have it back. Tell your teacher that you are sorry for the inconvenience it has caused and promise that you will not do it again.

if She says that she has lost it or wont give it back go to your parents and have them go to the schools administrator to resolve it

did you ask the teacher that took it about it?


bottom line is if the teacher says they didn't take it.. and no one saw.. it becomes he said she said.. so no way to prove anything.

If otoh there are witnesses to the teacher taking it from you.. and the teach never turned it in.. then the teacher will probably have to play to avoid prosecution and will probably be fired for a morals problem

btw if you think that is unfair you are wrong.. if the teach stole from a student.. i do NOT want that person teaching scholle.

You should have your parents take this issue to the school board. Maybe they can help sort the problem out before you call the police. I had a similar situation happen to me in the sixth grade. My device was not nearly as expensive and I did pursue the problem although I still think that I should have. If the teacher says she gave it to the administrator and the administrator denies receiving it then one of them stole it and is lying about it, more likely the teacher.
