Ok, so while walking down the hallway at school, a kid knocked my phone out of my hand and the screen shattered.
Does Apple replace screens? And for how much? Have any of you guys dealt with this before?

They'll replace screens but at a ridiculous price since its your doing. You're better off going third party or buying the parts and fixing it yourself. Ifixit.com sells these parts and have step by step instructions on how to repair it yourself. They will also repair it for you if you send them your phone.

They won't replace just the screen. Unfortunately I don't think that's covered under apple care either. Check around town, I know around here places can replace the screen for you.

You're allowed to have phones at school? Wow. As late as my Senior year, 2003-2004, we still weren't allowed. And if you did, and got caught, you got a week of in-school suspension, and they took the phone for the rest of the school year.
My step-sister got hers taken away, and my mom WAS PISSED. Not because they took it, step-sister broke the rules, and it should have been taken. But they were gonna take it for the remainder of the school year [this was in October, mind you], and my mom called the school and said she wanted the phone. They straight up said "No, we're not giving the phone back." That's what made my mom mad. She said "You're not paying the bill, and I want the phone." They still said no, and this next part is what made my mom the maddest. She said "Okay, so since you're not giving the phone back, is it at least going to be safe while you have it?" As in no one will touch it, break it, or steal it. They said "We're not responsible for what happens to it while we have it. We can't make a guarantee that nothing will happen to it." I never saw my mom come to that school faster and raise all sorts of hell. Of course, the asst. principal that took the phone and said all the stuff straight up lied and denied saying it all when the school principal got involved. My mom got the phone back after he got involved.

No. I've never broken one.
Kill that kid who knocked it out of your hand.
It's his time to die.

Thanks, guys. I'll look around and see what I can do.
III Tears- We can have them in the hallways and at lunch. I don't really use it at school because I don't have time but today, for whatever reason I just had to check Twitter in the hallway. haha
And Bashcrash- I sure did think about it. I was not happy when it it happened.

THATS STRAIGHT BS!!! not your story, but what those clowns was saying! under i forgot what type of law/rule. the party who took it, is reliable.... even if its the other party wrong doing for bringing the phone. and breaking their set rules. so if the phone got stolen or ruin whatever the case. that party that has it, will have to pay for it. the same happen to me when i was in highschool. my mom came everytime to get my phone back & my other silblings phones. she didnt play that, sure we got a yelling. but she was paying the bill, so ya..... i remember once they placed a sticker on my phone with my name.... so it wont get lost or whatever. man that was a bitch to get off, cause of all the sticky goof that was left-over!!! back to main topic! screens are a bitch to get replaced, especially if the carrier wants so much to replace them!!! aswell, i recommend u make friends at whatever carrier u have. so this way they can replace it for u, for a favor back down the road. like the barter system. i do it now, last time my bro HTC evo screen busted. we knew someone that works at sprint. she acted like it was a internal problem, so she can work with it.... in the back. so her bosses dont see. she swapped the busted screen for her lunch for the day. less then 15mins new screen. something for all u guys to think about doing.

I was in highschool from 02 to 06 and if a teacher or admin saw ANYTHING with a back lit screen at any point in the day, they took it, lol.

Replacement screens are cheap on eBay. And youtube will give you step-by-step instructions on how to replace it.
No need for Apple or any 3rd party service.

Normally it doesn't leave my pocket unless I just need to text my coach about practice or something. But, ah well. You live you learn. Should have put an Otterbox on it Sheesh, how times change. I was in highschool from 02 to 06 and if a teacher or admin saw ANYTHING with a back lit screen at any point in the day, they took it, lol. Haha it used to be like that here. They're getting a little more lenient. But I don't really use it, just when I absolutely have to. And of course, the ONE day I decide that I just have to check Twitter.

Not really common here or when I was in high school to say the least. Usually during registration for a season in school or an outside league we'll normally give the coach our home numbers and if there happen to be a canceled game etc they'd call or leave voice messages. The only real except to that would be if if I'm friend's with the head/assist coaches son's. But I guess some people have other forms of communication for sports nowadays.

No need for Apple or any 3rd party service. it's probably safest to get someone to do it that knows how, but they only just recently went down in price. you can't just replace the glass, you have to replace the entire display including the LCD digitizer. i paid about 90 bucks recently to get mine done.

When my iPhone Screen broke, I went to a shop thing that fixed screens at an incredibly cheap price! That's in Australia but I'm not sure about anywhere else

I never had a phone during my school years so it was never a problem to me.
Sucks though.
