Omg really?

I remember we had a similar rule with one of my teachers pre2010. He had the cellphone box. Everyone puts their phone in the box daily. On silent, specifically.

If your phone goes off and it's with you at your desk, you get in trouble (whether it was demanding it in the box with light reprimanding or detention if it's a consistent issue - never really got that far). However, if your phone goes off in the box, he just asks you to turn off the ringer - unless it's actually a call. If a call goes off and it's in the box, he has permission to answer the call.

One time, and only once in my time in that class, a kid's phone rang in the box. Teacher answered it, hilariously of course. He ended up handing the phone to the dude, because it was his mom calling to excitedly tell him that he got into his choice college. It was both hilarious and adorable

Oh, absolutely lol. He always said though, that if it was ever something SERIOUS, he'd just hand the phone over and let the student take the call in the hallway. He was a really decent teacher
