Only thing worse than a student's cell phone going off, is when the the teacher's cell phone starts to ring: and he answers! This has happened to me twice, and I was as awestruck and astounded the second time as I was the first.
"No, I can't talk right now. I'm having a lecture. Yeah, that's right, I want the low-fat cheese. And pick me up some chicken! Gotta go, the students are looking at me. Love ya, honey. Bye!"
Ok, parts of that dialogue was severely made up, but a teacher of mine actually carried a conversation for about 20 seconds before hanging up once. And he was sort of smiling smug to the class while talking, as in "hey, look what I can do without impunity." :blink:
You think students' cell phones are annoying? Fuhgettaboutit!
