Nowadays, teachers have to know how to deal with disruptive students.I am going to write two examples about it.
The teacher is explaining about the past simple and a student Carlos starts eating cookies and the teacher says: Please, don't interrupt the class, but the student continues eating;so, the teacher stops to explain the class and says: Carlos is not allow eating in class! I'am teaching the grammar and you have to listen to me, please.Finally,Carlos says: Sorry miss! and the miss says: no problem!
In the classroom, a cell phone starts to ring and Andrea,who is an English student, answers and starts to talk on the phone while the teacher is explaining an activity. The teacher says: Andrea,when you receive an important call, you can answer it but out the class please! I'm giving the instructions about the activity,so it's very important that all of you listen what you have to do.Andrea says: OK, miss!
In my opinion, the teacher reactions were fine because the teachers tell to their students what they are doing is good or bad,so the student have to recognize his or her mistake and have to respect the teacher and the classmates because all of the students want to learn new things in each class.
When talking about the first situation, I agree with you in some part, but I also think that it is crucial that the rules be set before the lesson starts, so students can keep in mind the things that they are not allowed to do. What the teacher did in this situation doesn't give a security that the student is going to stop eating. Another good option is to ask the student to leave the class until he/she finishes eating his/her food.

about the cellphones in all the classrooms are not allways allowed but the students may have an emergency and thats important , but a way to deal with it could be putting the cellphones on vibrator and not make anoying sounds in the middle of the class.
