I have been teaching the staff to SMS me. If it is important I will SMS back as soon as I have time. If it is a stupid question I wait for a few days. My boss doesn't get it though, she still calls. There are three people I will answer promptly after I go out of the room, my missus is not one of them.

I find it important to teach my kids what is important and what is not. Some classes have picked it up very well, phone on vibration. Telling me before hand they could get an important call (usually hospitalized relatives or some other problems with relatives).
Some classes, well confiscate all phones and lock them up cause they won't learn.

Talking about priorities. A friend of mine used to teach at a vocational school in Chon Buri.
A student's telephone rang and after a brief but fairly loud conversation my friend was ready to confiscate the phone. Didn't happen, before he could reach the phone she excused herself from class because a customer wanted to see her immediately.
