My daughter teaches music in a small elementary school, normally will have around 20 to 30 students at any given time. All of them have cell phones of some kind or other. She requires them to furnish phone numbers at the beginning of the school year and from time to time texts important dates or events (school related) to those numbers.
That's well and good and works great if everyone is on the same page. The story goes that she detected two of the girls in the back of the room texting each other and, without being seen doing so, she texted each of them to put their phones down. The reactions were priceless.
Her rules are that phones must be on but silent in her classroom. Yes, I said on. This is part of an ongoing safety program where if something were to happen any student can make a call or text. You can fill in the blanks here.
Where I work we have an unwritten rule with customers using phones while shopping: We are polite and don't bother them, don't wait on them, don't even say anything to them while they are having their "important" conversation. When they finally figure it out, they either get mad and leave or get off the phone so they can get what they need. They sometimes are irritated but never have said anything about it out loud.
Phone etiquette needs to be taught in schools and other places. Too much like common sense, guess it will never happen.
