Today, my cellphone-hating teacher called someone during class, so I called him out about it. Turned out his wife was having a tumor removed, and he was calling to see if she was okay. FML

I assume since the teacher made that rule he'd make sure it's a damn good reason he's using it.

If he really hates phones you should've realized it was something serious.

You had no way of knowing but kind of weird he did not excuse himself for a minute. However, people should not play on their phones during class time. It is rude. I do not get why people pay thousands of dollars for schooling just to play on their phones.

I wouldn't worry; they're probably actually relieved to be able to tell the class. I can't imagine they would want to walk in and announce their situation to the students. It'll be old news by tomorrow.

Why should his teacher have to disclose any details about his life to his class? Why would it make him feel relieved to be pushed to to disclose something deeply personal? I can't think of any reason why a teacher would want to announce details of their personal life (save maybe a pregnancy that will directly affect their capacity to work with their students) to those they teach.

On one hand, who are you to tell him how to behave in his own class? He makes the rules, you follow them. On the other hand, it's strange that he didn't give the class a heads up on the extenuating circumstances & why he may need to use his phone & interrupt class. Just out of courtesy if nothing else. Most phone Nazis understand exceptions to the rule.

I say **** Your Life. He could have waited until after class to call.

Umm no. His class. His rules. He can break them since his own rules don't apply to him. You are living in a fantasy land and if you actually think he should have waited till after class just to make things "fair" for his class there is something wrong in your head and your prioritizing skills.

He probably "hates" cellphones, because the students in his class are too busy 'snapchatting' and using facebook/Instagram to listen to the teacher and get an education.

The teacher doesn't have to tell his students shit. What goes on in his life isn't their business.

YDI. Even if your teacher wasn't calling for something important, he's still your teacher. You should give some respect. His reason for not liking cellphones is because it's rude to play with your phone while he's teaching.
