I am really sorry for your pain. And I 100% get you on the phone thing. I am a single mom with more than once child with special needs. My phone is never off. NEVER.
I understand the instructor didn't want to be bothered by a call. And her annoyance at the policy not being followed is reasonable. But her reaction of rage was over the top.
I do tell me kids to only call if it is an emergency if I am at a place I can't easily answer. And most of the time they stick to that, but teenagers are teenagers and don't always respect that.
I would speak the instructor privately. And hopefully she will get it. If she does not, that says more about her than you. Even without kids, normal rational people would get it. If she still has an issue with your phone being on and you refusing to ignore a call from your child, find a new class. She may be the best in town but I am sure there is someone else nearby that can fulfill what you need and not cause you more trauma.
