I agree with the rules stated so far.
As for the one with students in class. I've heard people complain that there might be an family emergency or something. There is such a thing as a land line and parents should be able to call the school office and get the message to the student that way. Otherwise if I were a student and I knew a family member was in the hospital doing poorly and I needed to be able to leave ASAP when I got a call I would be courteous enough to alert my teacher prior to class and still leave my phone on vibrate in my jacket or on my pants. There is no reason to disturb others.
I'd like to add another rule. If you are on a cell phone in a social situation, even on the bus, and someone approaches you about being a disturbance. Apologize and either talk quieter or call the person back depending on the urgency of the call. NO matter what make the calls SHORT in public.
I have seen way to many poor drivers (including my Dad) who talk on the phone while driving and drive even worse. It's impossible to tell who could "handle" it and who couldn't. Just don't do it. At LEAST not without a headset? and don't dial or (for goodness sake) text message while driving. That's stupid.
