I was teaching when cell phones became common. I usually gave kids one "freebie". If it rang again, I'd take up the phone, and go give it to the headmaster. The parent would have to come talk to the headmaster in order to pick it up.
I didn't have a problem with the phones in school as long as they were turned off. I knew that I would want my daughters (they were too young at the time) to have phones when they were older.
My favorite phone story - I'm giving a final when a phone rings. Andrea gives me a panicked look."Answer it", I say. It turns out to be HER MOTHER. Where, I ask you, did she expect her daughter to be at 10:00 in the morning on a school day? We laughed about it, and she turned the phone off.
Kids. I don't know what's wrong with these kids today.
