Handling disruptive students?

Over at TaxProf, Paul Caron links to an article raising the question, “Should faculty members walk out of the class if students are too busy texting to pay attention?”  Steve Banbridge at his Professor Bainbridge blog has an interesting discussion going on about that topic in the comments.

I’ve never had problems even remotely similar to those in the article, but I find it hard to believe that walking out is a sensible solution.  Unless the weather’s really good and the fish are biting.
